Marcie is one of the most highly regarded family law attorneys in the state - and with good reason. She is smart, hard-working and efficient. I not only refer clients to her, I consult with her if I have a family law question. She provides all of her clients with excellent service, from simple matters to highly complex equitable distribution. She is also known for her integrity and high ethical standards.
