I used Ms. Zide for my exparte, separation and divorce when she first started practicing family law at the YWCA in Arnold and my case transferred over to her private practice with Alan Forman. I have not dealt with many attorneys or legal issues, but she went out of her way and above and beyond any ...expectations that I had to make the transition as easy as possible for my son, who was the real victim in the ugly divorce battle. When I felt like I wanted to be vindictive for all of the nasty things that my ex did, Marla was always there to ground me and give me a dose of reality, reminding me what was best for my child. She was so easy to talk to and I never felt like I was being judged at all. I appreciate everything that she did for me and my son. I obtained full physical custody and was able to finally become cordial with my ex and be able to talk about issues with my son.
