Marie I Crossley

Marie represented me in a difficult custody litigation. She is smart, strategic and no-nonsense. She is very experienced, which gives her an advantage over other attorneys. She was honest with me and always did the right thing for my child. She was responsive via texts, email, calls and seemed to... handle difficult situations with ease. I highly recommend her.

From the very beginning of my divorce process, Marie was practical, calm, informative, and very engaging. As a terrific coach and advisor, she explained every aspect of what to expect and where I might have the best and least likely chances of success. I could not have asked for a more competent and ...professional expert and litigator working on my behalf.

Marie Crossley made all the difference in achieving a positive outcome to my divorce proceedings. I retained joint custody (50/50) of my three children and the financial settlement determined by the court (child support and alimony) was less than the proposal we offered pre-trial. The process was lon...g and erratic with lots of exaggerated claims of wrongdoing on my part. Throughout, Marie was available, responsive and level-headed. She is an expert at what she does. She knows the law, the system, the opposing attorneys and the judges. She is open to negotiation, but only for a good outcome. She is unfazed by dramatic posturing, sudden changes and unrealistic expectations. She cared about me and my children as clients, not in a schmaltzy manner, but as a professional who knew the outcome would impact my relationship with my children and our financial well being for years to come. The divorce process is horrible for everyone, particularly fathers. Marie knows this; I am truly fortunate to have worked with her.

Marie was recommended to me, for legal help with divorce, by one of her peers whom I had worked with many years before. The recommendation turned out to be a great success for me. I was sued for divorce, and the substantial combined marital financial and property assets were primarily sourced by me. ...Marie expertly identified and assessed the marital assets that were affected, guided me through completing complicated legal forms and procedures, took the initiative with the opposing attorney to firmly state my position, all the while keeping me informed and up-to-date with progress and results. In the end, I was able to obtain a very fair and satisfactory financial settlement that allowed me to retain the bulk of my assets, and also permitted a cordial ending between the parties, which is something I identified early on to Marie as an important issue for me. Additionally, Marie's legal staff also did a great job and I always felt comfortable and confident of success. I highly recommend Marie as a great resource to resolve family legal matters.

I hired Marie Crossley to represent me during a Court hearing that I had scheduled where I was requesting to modify my Child Custody agreement and relocation to another state where I could have more support to raise my two sons. Relocation cases are never easy but Marie did a very good job at showin...g the court that it was in the best interest of my children to relocate to live with my fiancé and I and his family since we had no support system here in DE and their father did not have a sufficient level of involvement in the boys lives. Many factors went into the outcome of our case but ultimately the judge ruled to allow the boys and I to move and put a visitation schedule in place that would allow their dad to still have frequent and meaningful visits with the children. I am very grateful for all the support and guidance Marie provided me during this case and I know the positive outcome we had will have a very positive impact on my children's lives for years to come.
