Marlys Anne Bergstrom

I hired Marlys to be my divorce attorney. She was amazing throughout this whole process. She was very thorough answering my questions and listening to what I needed. My mediation turned out well and it was exactly what I wanted. We avoided going to court! Thank you so much Marlys and for your wonder...ful law firm team. Jennifer

Professiona, caring and dedicated

I love Marlys, she is very professional and caring as well. She has the ability to see the facts and keep you focus. She will go to court and state supported facts instead of using bluffing techniques as other attorney's use, at the end of the day, when the truth comes to light, honesty and integrity... is all that matters. The truth will take you far. Sometimes things don't go 100% as wished, but it wouldn't be lack of interest on her behalf. Many factors contribute to results. Marlys and her staff are very loving and caring people. I recommend 200%.

I can trust her

The most important thing in the world to me is my children's safety and wellbeing. My case would be a sensitive subject for any parent; Bergstrom & Associates realize that and are just as dedicated to protecting my child. I was worried that I wouldn't find the right representation. I have too ma...ny things going on to be stuck with a jerk for an attorney. Many of the lawyers I had spoken with while searching for representation seem so rude, or gave me the impression that I would simply be just another case for them. After speaking with Marlys I knew that wouldn't be so, and it hasn't been. She's not out just to make a buck, she gets very involved in what's best for her client. Marlys and all members of her firm display the highest level of professionalism and compassion. I view lawyer's differently now. Do to the nature of my case custody, child support, and visitation, plus underlining issues, my emotions would get to me. There were times when I've cried in Marlys presence ,over the phone, or via email and was always met with a hug, and a calming reassuring conversation. Even during conferences when she would see the emotions coming to the surface she would simply touch my hand. A way of saying "don't cry it's okay". I'm not even a crier, but I'm super sensitive when it comes to my children. As all parents should be. I have to be strong for my children and can't break down in front of them, and I don't. Marlys understands that and is strong for me during our conversations. This is the first time that I have ever dealt with the law/court system outside of a speeding ticket and I'm at ease knowing my team(Bergstrom & Associates) are on top of everything. She's knowledgeable and direct. I've told her what was going on,she knows what I want, and what I'm willing to give. There was a time I had to leave negotiations and Marlys was entrusted to makes decisions on my behalf. Negotiations went as we discussed and ended on a good note ,thanks to Marlys. I can't express my appreciation enough for all she has done for me and my family. I thank the lord that Marlys is fighting for me. I would definitely hire Bergstrom & Associates in future legal matters.

caring law firm

Marlys and her staff have been wonderful during the ongoing process of my divorce and custody case. They have been there for me helping me understand and get through this every step of the way. Even after normal office hours and on weekends if I have any problems or major concerns. I would recommend ...her firm to anyone who has the need for her firms family law services, I don't feel like I'm just another case or a check like some law firms I have spoken with made me feel like, they truly care about what is best for not just me but my children. They made sure I was comfortable and usually they have the answers to my questions even before I ask them. In the beginning of this process I was scared because I had no clue what it was going to be like but Marlys eased those fears in my first consultation and made sure I understood both the good and the bad and for that reason I hired her right away.

Simply Amazing

Going through so many things at once, Marlys has really just taken a burden off of my shoulders. She has been helpful since day 1. She is very professional and knowledgeable. At the same time, she is right there when you need her. I would not want to be going through a divorce without her on my side....
