Caring, hard working, goes the extra mile

Marisa is a caring and hard working family law attorney. Although she is not my regular attorney for my divorce, Marisa admirably stepped in and hit the ground running to work out a temporary agreement with my wife's combative and less than truthful attorney. Pretty sure this lawyer's nose grows ever...y time she speaks. Marisa worked through the weekend (what professional does that?!) to finalize an agreement. She reminded me of those sports agents you read about who make eleventh hour deals to land their clients nice contracts. Marisa once worked for Fletcher Tilton in Worcester, one of Worcester's top law firms, so that speaks volumes about her professionalism. Highly recommend her.

The one you want on your side

I was referred to Schwartz & Plante for representation through a complicated divorce, and what would be the most emotionally challenging year of my life. I thank my lucky stars I landed on Marissa's client list. She is a bulldog. She was fierce, powerful, persistent, and always ready for the nex...t step. She was always available, responding in record time to any and all issues and questions I had. She was never intimidated by the other side, she only came back stronger everytime. Her expertise in her field of practice amazed me. Everytime I personally felt like I couldnt go on, she gave me stability and piece of mind to keep fighting for what I deserved and what was right & legal. Trust me when I say Marissa was my life line. You 100% want her and her team on your side! I am forever grateful for her guidance.
