About Maria
Maria Fortune founded her own practice in 2008 and has since steered it through a changing legal landscape. She established the Law Office of Maria Fortune, LLC as a vehicle for handling matters that cross geographic and regulatory lines. Over the years the firm has served clients who require counsel across multiple states and the District of Columbia.
Her career is defined by steady growth rather than headline-making cases. Since forming the firm she has maintained admissions in Colorado, the District of Columbia and Alabama. Those credentials allow her to accept matters that originate in different jurisdictions and to advise clients whose needs do not stop at a state border. She has built a practice around that reality, balancing the work of case development, client counseling and the administrative tasks that come with running a small firm.
As founding partner, Fortune manages both the legal and business sides of the practice. She assigns work, supervises case preparation and handles client intake. Running a boutique firm requires juggling many roles. She meets that requirement by combining hands-on case work with the operational oversight necessary to keep the office functioning.
Collegial and pragmatic in approach, Fortune works with clients and outside counsel to resolve issues that touch multiple legal frameworks. Her practice reflects the practical demands of cross-jurisdictional work. That often means coordinating filings, timelines and procedural requirements in more than one court system. Colleagues say she is thorough and precise in preparing cases and in advising clients about where and how to proceed.
Today she continues to operate the Law Office of Maria Fortune, LLC and accepts matters from Colorado, the District of Columbia and Alabama. She maintains a private practice serving individuals and organizations across those jurisdictions. Her current practice focuses on matters spanning these jurisdictions.
