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!

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!

Great experience with Marshall Chriswell

We contacted him to have our wills and other related paperwork prepared. He did a very good and thorough job in a very timely manner. If we need legal advice in the future he will be the person that we contact. I highly recommend him for those in need of guidance.

Excellent experience

Marshall helped my wife and I put together a basic will and power of attorney etc. for our daughter last year. Neither of us are particularly knowledgeable about this sort of thing but he walked us through everything in detail and made sure we knew what was happening. He pulled everything together ...for us in no time at all and we were very pleased with the experience over all. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable and the office was welcoming. I felt like we made the right choice.

Handling Real Estate Dispute

Marshall represented me in a real estate dispute against a very large global corporation. Marshall did a great job explaining the law, and his assessment of the case was right on. He's not affraid to dig in and he never backed down from a very formidable opposition. Not only was a I satisfied ...with the outcome, but I was extremely happy. Marshall displayed both personal and proffessional counsel and his experience and skill made me feel at ease. I hope I don't need legal counsel any time soon, but if I do, I know Marshall is someone I can trust to go to bat for me.

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.
