Best in the business

Divorce was one of the most painful and grueling experiences of my life. Shortly after our separation, my ex-wife tried to relocate my 2 young boys hundreds of miles away to another state, behind my back. That's what I was faced with, and Jeffrey Marshall helped me successfully navigate this nightmar...e. Jeffrey Marshall gives you the best chance for a positive outcome, and will not steer you wrong. He knows what the judge will want to see and hear, and what to expect in court. He will tell you what you need to do, but it is up to you to follow his advice. Jeff goes above and beyond what could be expected of a lawyer. He will be honest with you even when it may not be something you want to hear. He will listen to your perspective and your opinions and incorporate that into his thinking, if it is appropriate. He helped me mitigate my stress level and emotions through the process. I felt as though Jeff genuinely cared about me and the fate of my children. He is a good person and someone I also consider to be a friend. Because of Jeff, my children now have a better life and future ahead of them.

Tried and true

I've had Jeff as my divorce attorney for about 5 years in all, off and on. He is a real, common-sense individual with an empathetic nature - especially when your children are involved. I highly recommend Jeff to anyone considering separating or who has a difficult divorce. He has given me a solid ...team of folks that have helped my children tremendously and I would not be where I am today without his counsel, hard work, and insight. Jeff is SMART, plugged-in to the legal networks here, and will guide you extremely well.

Recommendation for Jeff Marshal

The divorce process is tough. Not only is it emotionally difficult and physically draining, but the actual legal process itself is simply unchartered territory for most of us. When my spouse served me with a separation papers & and out of this world financial proposal -- I nearly had a heart attack.... I was just plain shocked and totally unprepared for the ridiculous and unjustified financial demands that she wanted. I was an emotional wreck, but in a panic, I called my CPA advisor and asked for help. I’ve known my CPA for over 5 years having found him thru the Dave Ramsey website. When I asked him to recommend a divorce attorney, he gave me one name, Jeff Marshal. I’m not going to attempt to list all the reasons you should call Jeff, but I can attest that you will not be sorry you called. The divorce process has significant and lasting implications on everything important in your life after divorce. Make sure you that you have Jeff by your side when these decisions are being made, I am certain that you will be glad you did.

Knowledgable and caring

Jeff Marshall is a very knowledgeable, personable, and caring attorney. He is straightforward and makes the legal process easy to understand. Another strength about Jeff is that he really understand numbers well and was able to help greatly with financial matters. Divorce is a very emotional and di...fficult process for anyone, mine however, was especially contentious. Jeff did a very good job remaining level and keeping me calm throughout the process. He was very careful not to sugarcoat things and guided me through making choices that would be best for me and my daughter. I came to him after hearing his name from several people in my community and having read great reviews online. He is a fair person and has excellent rappor with other wake county artourneys and judges, and I believe that says a lot about his character. I always felt comfortable working with Jeff, his representation, and trusted him throughout this process. I highly recommend him.

Custody / Visitation turned to PTR

I would highly recommend Mr. Marshalls services to anyone who needs a family attorney. My case was complicated in many ways to the point where another lawyer might of washed his hands of it. Mr. Marshall not only saw it through, he guided (based on my needs and wants) and supported me through the har...dest decision of my life. If you want a lawyer who will be a complete advocate for you and your child Mr. Marshall is your man.
