Excellent proffesional and great personality

Marshall has been my lawyer for years he has always been extremely professional and provided excellent service even if he can't get you exactly what you want he makes sure he works his butt off on your case for it to be atleast more then reasonable over all he is the best with divorce and custody cas...es but he has also been grate with getting criminal cases down to littering as long as you trust in him and let Marshall do his thing he will make sure you are taken care of on top of all he has a wonderful personality and outside of his profession he is extremely easy to connect with a wonderful family man and a bad to the bone lawyer marshall will forever and always have my buissness

Great Attorney for Divorce!

Marshall was my lawyer in my divorce case. Throughout the case Marshall was available at all hours of the day and on weekends to answer my questions and concerns. He gave me his cell phone and responded quickly to all of my questions and concerns by text, telephone and email. Marshall never took ...any action that wasn’t strictly necessary for the advancement of my case. He had a commanding grasp of the legal and factual issues and developed clear, clever strategies to advance my interests at every turn. He was instrumental in advising me on issues such as the selection of a suitable guardian ad litem for my child and how to behave in the courtroom. He was thoroughly prepared each time we went to court. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone needing divorce counsel.

Didn’t do what he promised

Marshall promised me he would handle my divorce case justly. I appeared at two court dates from out of state and after one he told me I was a victim of the system! That’s why I hired him, to keep from being a victim of the system! Prior to my most recent court date he was supposed to get paperwork to... the other attorney but didn’t. The judge wasn’t happy and Marshall told me to file all over in my current state. I’m now out of money and need to find another attorney or I lose everything I am entitled to. Worst communication ever!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
