About Tamara
Biography
After 11 years of practicing family law I have decided several years ago to go "litigation sober". I am committed to helping my family law clients resolve their family conflicts outside of the courthouse because the litigation process is so destructive to famlies. Resolving family conflict outside of court does not mean everyone is getting along, it means that everyone involved values retaining control over their major life decisions, want to avoid having strangers (judges) make their life decisions for them, and want to preserve what assets they have for themselves and their loved one rather than losing them in a lengthy divorce process that only enriches the attorneys
Giving up divorce litigation has enabled me to add Elder Law and Estate Planning to my practice. I focus my Estate Planning and Elder Law practice on helping my clients not only avoid probate, but plan for the impact of the cost of assisted living or nursing home care should it become necessary in the future. The earlier you plan for the possibilty of long term care costs the more options you will have if the need arises.
I truly appreciate the opportunity to help people find solutions to their problems in the fields of Elder Law, Estate Planning and Family Law. I am proud that my clients receive genuine and tangible value for the cost of my legal services and do not regard my fees as a necessary evil. My fees are an investment in ther future with demonstrable returns on their investment.

Tamara not only was very professional, but she was very compassionate about my situation. She found and made necessary changes to my agreement that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. Thank you Tamara. I would definately refer you to a friend.
Tamara Anne Marshall's Lawyer Endorsements
"I highly recommend Tamara. I have had numerous cases with her over the year and find her to be great to work with. She is a fantastic advocate for her clients but does so in a way that does not cause needless fees or extra work that delays the case. She is knowledgeable and I refer her cases in elder law as well."

Constantly successful in all aspects of her practice, I would recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney for family law and litigation matters."
