    "Highly Recommend"
    I highly recommend Maria for anyone dealing with a VOP (Violation of Probation) case. She was always on time, consistently showed up when I needed her, and most importantly, she won my case. Her professionalism and dedication gave me peace of mind throughout the process. Truly grateful for her support.

    "The Absolute Best!!"
    Maria is the absolute best. She’s super easy to work with. And definitely goes the extra mile or should I say miles for her clients. From long talks on the phone. To hunting down your prosecutor to set up times to delegate with them. My last case was picked up by her when my original lawyer had left the office, she in almost no time got me the result I was looking for. You would think that because it was just a case thrown at her already started by someone else it would not mean as much to her. But I never got those vibes from her once. She’s great at making everything taking place in your case translated into to plane English. She will be my lawyer for life.

    I cannot recommend Maria Bastos highly enough. Her dedication, hard work, and professionalism set her apart in the legal field. Her attention to detail and methodical approach to her cases are evident from the beginning through till the end. Her courtroom presence is evident and shows her knowledge of the law and confidence in her abilities. If you are looking for an attorney to tirelessly advocate on your behalf, Maria is the best there is. I highly recommend Maria for any criminal defense needs.

    "Maria absolutely had my best interest at heart"

    From my recent experiences in Pasco County with Attorney Maria D. Bastos of Bastos Defense, I can truly testify with great relief that the phrases “Where Fierce Defense Meets Compassionate Care” and “Your Future Is Worth The Fight” hit the bullseye in matching Maria’s profound talent, knowledge and ability as a Defense Attorney. Maria absolutely had my best interest at heart, and that is the whole truth and nothing but. An extraordinarily talented, caring, detailed and thorough lawyer. If I ever have any other legal issues, regardless of the area, trust me, I’ll call Maria first.
