Marie I Crossley

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 has been very involved with helping me get primary residence of my young son, Vincent. Due to a distance situation with Vincent's father and the disagreement on what state my son would attend school in, I sought out Marie's counsel. From the beginning she kept me up to date, including her staff..., and explained how these cases work. I felt more than confident with Marie as my attorney when it was time to appear before the judge. She was able to prove to the court that my sons father and his witness were not being truthful in specific time frames, which I believe were crucial in winning the case. Marie maintained a calm, cool and collective stance when representing me and there was a very large visible difference if comparing attorneys. Ultimately I won and did receive primary residence of my son, and I couldn't be happier. I received an email from Marie's office and she also texted me with the good news. I would recommend Marie to anyone of my friends or family seeking this type of counsel.

I hired Marie after consulting several attorneys in Delaware (and even working with one). My child custody case was complicated due to jurisdictional challenges; however, Marie (and her team) quickly guided me to the right path. Despite the tight deadlines, she delivered high quality documentation wh...ich eventually led us to win our case. Marie is extremely knowledgeable, responsive and dedicated. She is probably one of the best professionals I have ever met and I can vouch that she is the best attorney in Delaware for child custody litigation. She is also conscientious of the time she bills. I am very satisfied with her services and glad that was able to obtain results that are in the best interest of my child. High recommended.

From the very first meeting Marie was very upfront and knowledgeable about what my options were moving forward with my child custody case. She was always honest with what we could expect from the judge and I greatly appreciated her honesty. I would definitely recommend Marie to anyone looking for an ...attorney.

Marie is an honest and trustworthy lawyer. She is meticulous and thorough when going through case material. Marie fights to get what is in the best interest of her client. Her knowledge of the legal system and laws is unmatched. Marie is genuinely caring and knows how to handle the delicate situation...s that arise in family court matters. I highly recommend Marie and intend on utilizing her for my legal needs going forward.
