Great Attorney!

Marcia represented me when my previous employer accused me of the alleged breach of contract, which turned out to be my constructive discharge from the employment (Judge even stated that the employer sued me to intimidate and bully me in court). I contacted almost every attorney in NELA (National... Employment Lawyers Association) who practices in Cook County, Illinois via E-mail or phone. Marcia was the most able, experienced, and zealous lawyer of labor and employment, I had ever found. Furthermore, she has pity on those who are falsely charged but cannot afford tremendous legal fees to prove their innocence like me. She even gave me a referral to LAF (Legal Assistance Foundation) for free consultation at first, before I officially retained her. I won the lawsuit with her ingenious strategies; she filed Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Sanction instead of counterclaim. It is extremely rare for them to be passed but we made it. This case was as good as the fighting between spear and shield, but our shied defeated their spear, successfully! Thanks to her sling and stones, David beat Goliath armed with legal team, at last. There are many competent lawyers in the world but it is really hard to find one who has both capability and integrity. I highly recommend her. She works for justice, not for money.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Marcia and I worked on opposing sides for a family law matter. Whereas naturally we both had our stances for our respective clients, Marcia was always extremely respectable and fair. She zealously defended her client, as I did mine. It is always a pleasure working fair opposing counsel. Very respectable."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
