Quality Legal Advice

Jeff and team provided exceptional legal guidance through my difficult situation. I could not have resolved this situation without their help. Divorce with a child is extremely difficult, but Jeff and team took the time to help me understand the legal details and gain a better understanding of how ...move on with my life, enabling me to continue to play a significant role in my child's life.

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.

Thorough!

Jeff, was very professional and gave good advise on situation. It worked best for the money I could afford to spend, and the result outcome worked in my favor. He didn't give up with I had, and kept trying for a better ending; which paid off at the end.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
