Top Notch Highly Respected Lawyer in Centre County

Marie handled our Child Custody Case. She was very attentive to our case and always available or returned emails/ phone calls efficiently . She was a tough lawyer in the court room and is a very highly respected attorney in the State College Area.

Excellent Attorney!!

Marie is an excellent attorney who not only listens in the highest regard to her client but she is also an attorney who understands the needs of her client and fulfills them to the very best of her ability; her abilities as an attorney are flawless and relentless she is in fighting on your behalf for... what is fair and what is right for the client's best interest. She will not put you on a shelf and get to you when the time is right for her because she understands the need for a quick but yet firm and just outcome. Marie also does not hesitate to call you personally to give to give to you any kind of advice or information about your case, you are not left out in the cold wondering what is going on or what is happening; it's like being face to face with your attorney at all times and you know in your heart that she is always there for you. I had already appointed two attorneys to my long enduring divorce case and it was very depressing listening to excuse after excuse for not moving forward, but when I finally reached out to Attorney Sullivan for help everything rapidly came to order and my case and life were finally moving forward. I'm very thankful that you were there for me Marie; my best to you and your family :) God bless

What a lawyer should be

Marie Sullivan is lawyer of incredible professionalism and effectiveness who does her utmost to defend the interests of her clients. Anyone who has experienced a contentious custody or other legal dispute knows how stressful the situation is, and how ill at ease they feel with the entire process. As ...my own experience attests, Marie gave me comfort and confidence in the ultimate outcome in my case. She did this by exhibiting a deep grasp of the legal issues at hand, confidence and poise in the courtroom, and sensitivity to my own feelings regarding my case. The custody dispute I was in was extremely contentious and there was a great deal of uncertainty regarding whether I could achieve the goals I had intended regarding how the relationship with my children would be structured. Marie never let my confidence in my goals being achieved waver. She kept me abreast of the legal issues at hand, was a skilled negotiator with my ex-wife and her lawyer. She was meticulously prepared, confident, and effective beyond my wildest expectations in the courtroom. I highly recommend the services of Marie Sullivan in any case revolving around family law or issues regarding custody. She is exactly what you are looking for when life circumstances require the services of a lawyer.

great lawyer, would,t let us give up. positive attitude.

Marie was on top of things. she returned all our calls within 24 hrs. if she didn't have the answer right away she found it. she moved on things quickly too. if she thought something needed attention she made sure it was addressed to the proper people. we are very happy that she agreed to be our att...orney.

Highly recommended

Marie has only been the 3rd attorney I have ever dealt with, but by far the best. She has always returned my calls, listened to my concerns and didn't give me any false high hopes. She is a straight shooter.
