Christine L. Marinello

My son has dyslexia and Christine helped our family with a decision to pursue funding from our school system. Christine provided us with a detailed assessment with chances for success. This information was instrumental to our decision. Thank you Chrisine. And, thanks to her awesome assistant Sandra t...oo!!

We were faced with a school system issue and needed expert guidance, so I asked for a recommendation from a well-respected attorney in town for the best in managing these issues. Christine was recommended, and I reached out. Christine asked all the right questions and knew every piece of the path we ...were about to walk in resolving this matter. Her ability to listen, frame, share and guide the issue meant everything to us. We never had to panic when something came up because she'd spent the time consulting/advising and preparing us for the next step along the way to a resolution. I said that Christine was tenacious, and I mean that, but I meant it in a way different than you think. In these types of school matters where children are involved, the process might take some time which requires both tenacity & patience. Christine helped us through those times by describing how things were likely to happen. Her counsel was wise, timely and aimed at us as parents. Our child's future was first and foremost every single time. That approach was all we could ask for in resolving the matter.

Christine was responsive, professional, and considerate in all of our communications. She made sure to address any questions I had while we worked through an issue with my employer, and she took the time to explain our options and the rationale for every choice. Christine was sensitive and receptive ...to my needs and concerns, and she was able to help me resolve my dispute promptly and successfully.

I wanted to write Christine a review because she is the ONLY lawyer who actually took time over the phone to listen to a situation that is going on with my daughter's IEP. She didn't hurry me off. She took the time and cared enough to say she was sorry to hear what was going on. She gave me wonderful... advise and if the school does not play nice, I will not hesitate to hire her. She is concise and educated in educational law. Just through our phone call I knew she had the strategies that I would need to employ if I continue to get pushback from the school. I spoke with other lawyers before her and none compared to the level of personal service she offered. You can tell she cares!!! This is the first review I've ever written in my life.
