Had I known better, would not have used her.

After being in an abusive marriage with mental and physical abuse over 16 years, I was recommended to use Ms. Marino as a tough advocate. Unfortunately, my ex-husband's attorney was tougher, and I lost financially. She also did not give me proper advice about my marital home. She told me I had to lea...ve, or the sheriff would remove me in 60 days. I consulted for free with another attorney and he said that was not true. I paid highly to find a rental with the 8 dogs my ex did not want, even though he called them his 'beloved dogs'. Would not use her again.

Colleague Review

I have represented well-over 1,000 people in complex matrimonial, child custody and other domestic disputes. I have tried countless cases and dealt with countless lawyers on the other side, including Deb Marino on several occasions... Most of my well-regarded colleagues have either the talent, exper...ience, knowledge, or personality, disposition, ethics, guts, or perception and sensitivity to understand the client, and relate to the judge, and to opposing counsel in whatever way is most apt to achieve the client's objectives... Very few lawyers can do it all. Attorney Deb Marino is one of the few who can and will. I highly recommend her. Sincerely, Attorney Bob Kolesnik

Great attorney

I hired Deb to handle my divorce after I felt I was getting the run around from my previous attorney. Deb was up front from the beginning in telling me what to expect and she was spot on. She went head to head with my ex wife's attorney and beat her every time I wound up with custody of my daughte...r and exclusive use of the family home. My ex had to move out and could not come back. When the final settlement came down I got everything i asked for and NO ALIMONY....... Of course my ex wife's attorney was an idiot but Deb was so overpowering i believe she settled because she was afraid to go up against her in the courtroom. Deb is not cheap but worth every penny...I highly recommend her if you have a tricky divorce with many assets like it did Thanks Deb

Excellent Family Attorney

I consulted Attorney Marino for a post divorce matter. She was very compassionate, understanding, informative and knowledgeable of my situation. When needed I will be retaining her to represent me.

Best of the best

Excellent lawyer. Handled a very complex divorce for me and brought in a forensic accountant to value my husbands business. She got me the most incredible settlement. Did weekly check ins to make sure I was ok. Great staff.
