Top notch service from a down to earth team!

We originally hired Marshall to represent us within a custody case, and as things drug on from the other side, we were always informed of new revelations and instructed on our best options at the time. While this case is still ongoing we also used them for our real estate transaction. Marshall and hi...s staff made the process so easy and even caught mistakes made by the lender. We would certainly recommend this firm!

Big help during real estate transaction

I had a real estate transaction for my business with a deadline that kept being extended. When the closing finally happened, I was out of town and Marshall and his team helped keep the process going so we could complete the transaction. If it wasn't for that, the deal may have fallen through. He and ...his team did a lot of leg work for the transaction to make it smoother for myself. Thank you Marshall!

Very Professional and Personable

We wanted to purchase a summer home in PA and didn't want to have to use a Realtor, nor travel from FL. Mr. Chriswell handled everything over the phone with us from writing the contract and emailing it to us, to signing all of the documents and doing the closing! It was Great. His secretary was aw...esome as well!

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.
