The best!

Marissa is a professional, thoughtful and caring attorney who knows the law. She assisted me in getting visitation established with my granddaughter. She was always available whenever I had a question or a worry, returned calls promptly and kept me in the know at all times. She cared and that meant a... lot to me and still does. I recommend her highly for any family law matter. She is truly an amazing attorney. It is comforting to know she is just a phone call away if I ever need her services again.

Search No Further - Marissa IS OUTSTANDING

When I retained Marissa to handle my divorce, I didn’t just get an exceptional, highly competent and knowledgeable Attorney. I also got a kind, caring, genuine person who ultimately cared about me as a person, not just as a client. My first call to her wasn’t scheduled, but the timing was right and w...e spoke on the phone for quite awhile, her answering my numerous questions and giving me a summary of how everything would be handled. I made an appointment to meet with her, and hung up the phone feeling satisfied and relieved (already knowing I’d be retaining HER!). From our very first phone conversation, and ever since, she has been attentive, determined, knowledgeable, diligent, confident, proactive, assertive and easily accessible (and if she’s not able to take my random call, she always gets back to me later that day by returning my call or Emailing, sometimes as late as 6:45pm). As a person, she has been consistently open with me, warm, sincere, comforting, and genuine. Those are qualities I value highly, as well. In summary - all of the above comments included - one of the greatest compliments I can give her is this- she thoroughly explains every single step/document/proposal/legal term/ etc. And, she does so with patience and compassion and understanding. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking for legal representation in a divorce.

Client Centered, Efficient, and Highly Responsive!

While trying to deal with an upsetting situation on my own, I was referred to Marissa M. Hill and after my first conversation, she not only put my fears at ease, but had a strategic plan, followed up with involved parties by end of business day, and continually kept me informed of the case in a more ...than timely fashion. The outcome of my case was positive in a short amount of time and I felt like Marissa always had my best interest at heart, not only as a client, but also as a person. I give her my highest recommendation!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
