Lance T. Marshall

If one does homework on Mr Marshall he stepped down as Asst D.A in 09. Mr Marshall mishandled my case badly and spoke to me very badly in my opinion. I have to live with the repercussions of his mishandling and lack of advocacy on my case. You hire a lawyer to argue and advocate for you and it was sa...id that things were not argued. I was harmed in my case, in the mishandling of it and in I feel how I was spoken to as well. My case was very sloppily and incorrectly handled and lost. I also felt intimidated as a client which is not something one wants to feel from an attorney hired and paid well to represent your interests. He did not argue on my behalf in my opinion and I feel pretty much written into the decision. The opposing counsels statements about me were practically complimentary in comparison to his "representation" of me. I have no criminal record and was a victim with circumstances flipped on me. Empathy and passionate advocacy would have been nice, but I wonder where one can find that with attorneys in this area. I feel it's often mostly about money and whether they like their clients or find them important. I've found that if attorneys don't like their clients they speak down to them argue with them and screw up their case. Mine was lost either on purpose or because of such a poor job. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone given my experience. Attorneys are in a position of power and with that should come kindness towards their clients and professionalism ideally.

We sought Lance’s help on a very difficult situation for our daughter which included domestic violence and issues that could have affected her career in the long run due to false allegations being made in retaliation for finally having her husband arrested. Lance was responsive, fair and extremely kn...owledgeable about the laws. We found him to be honest and never gave us false hope but was able to always paint a clear picture of what the next steps would be. My daughter is finally free and can move on happily with her life thanks to Lance. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone that needs an experienced attorney.

I hired Lance after finding out I was facing criminal charges. First of all he was next to impossible to reach, never responded to emails and when I would call and leave a message it was days until I got a call back. Lance never had a one on one consultation with me so I could sit down and explain m...y side of things. How is someone suppose to fight for you without knowing your story ? He did the bare minimum. Basically got me through the paper work. Did not fight for me at all. On top of everything else I never got a discovery packet or was able to see it when I asked him for it. It makes no sense to me. Terrible mistake hiring Lance for a lawyer. If I could go back in time I would, and hire someone who was on my side not the court's.

Lost my case. Completing unprepared. Didn't send a bill for 2 months then has the gumption to say he won't work on my case until he gets paid while still not handing me a bill. He would not hardly consult me before the hearing and got his ass whooped by a public defender. He might be a better crimin...al lawyer but he is just a terrible custody lawyer. My case was a sure win he said at first when we talked about terminating rights.
