I hired Marjorie to help me with my case involving DCS and will never regret it. Her extensive knowledge of not only the legal system but also her compassion helps you through one of the toughest moments in your life. She becomes not just your attorney and advocate for your family but also your friend and life coach. She gives it to you straight and honest so you know exactly what you need to do to succeed. Her advice, wisdom and love helps you to become a better person throughout this situation and beyond.
When I first met Marjorie she said to me that when she takes a case, they become clients for life. It is true. While I might not need her services at the moment, I will never hesitate to contact her in the future if the need arises. I will always be grateful for hiring her!
I have consulted Marjorie twice and could not be more pleased. She is a competent and knowledgeable lawyer who consults with integrity and compassion. She has a great skill for explaining complex situations simply - I walked away from every interaction with clear understanding of my options. What impressed me the most is how genuine and transparent Marjorie is - every conversation left me with a feeling of trust, confidence and a peace of mind. If I ever need a lawyer again, I would hire her without a hesitation.
Experience litigating divorce, custody, child support and post-divorce conflicts.
17 years
I became an attorney to give voice to the voiceless. I saw too many little guys get kicked around by the big guys. I wanted to even the playing field. I have spent the last 18 years doing just that. Every job, every client has given me the experience I need to make sure that the big guys don't have an unfair advantage.
