Prenup - efficient and very personable

Donna Marshall and her professional staff helped to write a prenup that fulfilled my needs and made my future husband confident to sign the document. They are easy to talk to and reply in layman's terms.... a language a non-lawyer can understand. Thank you for making this document acceptable for us.

Posted by Natalia | October 8, 2019

Excellent professional and friendly service

I hired Donna to produce a complex family law contract. I was very pleased with the work she carried out and the insight she provided also really helped me define my requirements. Her service was delivered on time and met my challenging required timescale. I have no hesitation in recommending Donna to any perspective clients.

Exceptional Service from start to finish

Let me say this is a hard process to begin with, and Donna Marshall and her staff assured me they would be with me every step of the way. They were there when I had questions concerns and to guide me through the process nobody ever intend to go through when getting married. Divorce is messy, but Donna Marshall kept the process as direct and businesslike as possible. If I ever had to do it again or know someone going through the process with without children involved she would be the one I hired. She makes you feel like family!

I spent a lot of time looking into the type of person I wanted to be by my side representing me during one of the hardest times in my life. I was looking for someone with a good reputation. Someone respected by peers and members of our community. Confident, knowledgeable, honest and fair. Someone who would FIGHT for me. I found all of this at Marshall Law.

DONNA IS THE TOP ATTORNEY IN NAPLES.

From the first meeting until the last Donna was the most professional attorney that I could have had. She listened to my concerns, she understood my fears and helped me walk through my divorce every step of the way. She was always considerate with her time and at the same time she was always cautious with the need for me to talk it out as she didn't want to spend my money needlessly. She is a tough negotiator and doesn't back down and gave me the courage to do the same. The outcome of the divorce was excellent for me and I would encourage anyone going through a divorce, especially one that is complicated with many moving parts to call Donna. She is transparent, honest and a guiding light. Thanks so much!

Ms. Marshall was extremely professional and extremely candid in her handling of my divorce. She never failed to quickly respond to issues and constantly suggested ways to resolve items in the least contentious and most efficient manner, yet never avoided taking a strong position, if warranted. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
