She's like your umbrella in a rainstorm!

Ms. Markfeld is an outstanding attorney. I was fortunate enough to have been referred to her after going nowhere with my case for almost four years. Once Ms. Markfeld got on board, I immediately felt a change of pace and with that, a peace of mind. Throughout working with her, I have continued to be ...impressed with her knowledge, communication, response time, assertiveness and tenacity. She's very effective while maintaining her integrity. I’ve come across enough attorneys that had compromised their code of conduct or “Lawyers code” just to try to get ahead. Ms. Markfeld helped me gain sole custody of my daughter after a seven and a half year long battle. If she hadn’t came aboard when she did, I was likely to lose whatever rights I previously had. As a father fighting for custody of his daughter, I felt it almost impossible to be awarded full custody.I have Ms. Markfeld to thank for making it possible. I am forever grateful to have had her on my side. I’ve sat through many consultations, and retained more than my share my share of attorneys. I find that Ms. Markfeld actually says what she means and means what she says. Definitely worth her weight in gold!

A decade ago you only ever heard of a father winning custody of his children if the mother was abusive, on drugs, or incarcerated. Today, that’s not the way it is. Today, there’s a checklist that determines who gains custody of the children. Not, who has the biggest bond, or who has the biggest chec...kbook (although that helps). Men are quickly gaining primary custody over the mother in America today. This isn’t just a statistic. This is a fact. How do I know? With the help of Mrs. Natalie Markfeld I gained primary custody of my son. The past two years of my life has brought me much pain and suffering. However, my faith, family, friends and my defending counsel, Mrs. Natalie Markfeld were a source of encouragement for me. Dr. Martin Luther king Jnr, spoke of the redemptive quality of unearned suffering and I must say I was redeemed. Ms. Markfeld had a renewed sense of purpose as my lawyer and it really took a mountain off my back and has allowed me to regain that sense of enthusiasm that I had coming all the way from my formative years in high school through to University. At one point in the case, Mr. Michael Ganci stepped in as well during Ms. Markfeld’s absence and he too is an an amazing lawyer,once you speak to him you can automatically feel you're in safe hands because he really knows what he's talking about. I am so blessed to have found Ms. Markfeld, her paralegal Rikki and Mellissa were extremely sweet and both are incredibly professional. They are always on time, always answered quickly via emails( I sent a lot). Natalie was everything I needed in a lawyer after witnessing others in court having an awful experience with other lawyers especially as a male fighting for your child Mrs. Markfeld winning my case has averted a bad situation that could have resulted in a dedicated father losing his only child. I would unreservedly recommend her to defend you! She is a stalwart when it comes to Family law. She was tremendous at the trial and she ensured that at the end of the day the end result was in my favor. Natalie is a great counsel and I will always owe her a depth of gratitude for her invaluable act of defense and help. Her unparalleled expertise is unquestionable and she has an insatiable appetite for justice to be rightly served. The best family lawyer around town.

"I completely endorse this lawyer. Natalie is someone who will work hard on your case and be a staunch advocate for you in the courtroom. She tells it how it is and will not back down from a fight. But at the same time, she will work towards an amicable resolution if that is the best outcome for your case. You would be spending your money wisely if you hired her for your needs."
