"One of the best lawyers around. Broad range of experience from prosecutor's office to city government to private practice. Trustworthy."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have practiced law in Indiana since 1994 and met Ms. Marnocha in 1998 when she clerked for me in the South Bend City Attorney’s Office. She was a hard working, dependable and supportive collaborator in numerous federal litigation matters. She also diligently worked to solve a decades-old local matter. She was an asset to the City Attorney’s Office. After leaving the City Attorney’s Office in 2000, we kept close ties and supported each other in our respective careers. I know Ms. Marnocha tackles big and small legal problems with efficiency and civility. Her clients appreciate her and praise her for her work. She is a credit to our profession and even encourages local youth to explore our profession. I would seek her legal advice without hesitation."
