Marna Lynn Anderson

This lawyer was recommended to me. After the first consultation, I decided to hire her for my divorce, as she answered all my questions so well. But when the process began, instead of responding to all my emails, she ignored them, which caused me a lot of stress. She demanded more documents from me t...han she should have to ask from the other side. My son and I, who helped me because my English wasn't my primary language ,prepared and compiled all the documents ourselves and sent them to her and her team. She canceled our first meeting with the judge, and so our case dragged on for a long time. She didn't cancel first mediation, even though the other side didn't provide enough documents. I had to personally request that the mediation be canceled just a couple of days beforehand. Instead of her working on our case, I had to constantly push it forward and ask her to take action. And despite this, I received high bills from her office every month. After she found out I didn't have much money in my account and was receiving a small salary (approximately 2.5 months after our case began ), she refused to be my lawyer, even though I assured her there would be no problem with payment. I persuaded her to continue being my lawyer, which I later regretted. I still hoped that she would help me, but that didn't happen. And after the mediation, which later took place but didn't resolve all the issues, all because she persistently failed to require the other party to provide all the necessary documents, a couple of weeks passed, and she again refused to be my lawyer and handle our case. She said “she refused to be my lawyer any longer because we weren't on the same page”.That sounded strange to me. A lawyer who should understand what his client is going through during a divorce, and who also knows that English is not my language, says that we are not on the same page. In the nine months she was my lawyer, she did nothing, except I pay her and her team a lot of money. And during that time, I received no help or support, only stress. Having had a bad experience, I would not recommend this lawyer.
