Weston Native Honored as One of Boston's Top Women Lawyers

Woburn native Maria Krokidas was recognized as one of Boston’s Top Women of Law by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly on Saturday.

The Top Women of Law Award honored Krokidas for being a founding partner at one of Boston’s first woman-founded, woman-owned law firms Krokidas & Bluestein and for her involvement in the Boston community.

Krokidas has mentored young women and served on the boards of the Boston Lyric Opera, Road Scholar and Nurtury.

“Maria was a trailblazer in the Boston legal industry before it was even considered a viable profession for women,” said Jill Meixel, partner at Krokidas & Bluestein in a press release.

The law firm Krokidas & Bluestein was once a three-person company that has grown to a team of over 19 attorneys. The company is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.

Krokidas & Bluestein donates to more than 70 various nonprofits to offer services for education, health care, mental health, low income housing and more.

Krokidas said she is honored to receive the Top Women of Law award. “I set out to create a firm that encourages employees to pursue their passions both in and out of the office, and I believe this culture has attracted an incredible group of professionals that have enabled us to thrive,” she said in a statement.
