Marilynn W. Landon

I would recommend Marilynn to anyone needing a family law attorney. She has such extensive experience that she has seen it before, done it before and most importantly, won it before. She handed a difficult post-divorce custody modification for me and did a brilliant job of it. She somehow bala...nces being tough and kind and understanding while never losing sight of what's best for the child. Marilynn is an excellent lawyer who works to make the most of the time you pay her for.

Marilynn works by a very inflexible, expensive retainer, and the second that it s empty - which will be very quick! - she stops working on the case until you fill it up again...a very deep money pit. She does not offer any hybrid, contingency, or payment plan options like some other family law attorn...eys. She is all about the buck. And I doubt whether she truly cares about her clients unless she is trying to get more money out of them. She is very ruthless and uncaring. She comes across as sweet and caring at first, but it is all an act to get you to sign the retainer agreement - hook, line, and sinker. Her office does an adequate job of complying with ABA standards on keeping you informed, but they will charge you for every stamp, fax, and photocopy they can! Overall, I feel that it is my duty to warn others that there are better, less expensive and more caring attorneys in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area.

Marilynn is a superb attorney who recently represented me in a divorce case. I had two attorneys prior to hiring her, and she was able to get involved with a messy divorce involving children and finally get the ball rolling and a settlement made- after 2 years of going nowhere and wasting money in c...ourt. My previous attorneys were not able to even schedule mediation and we were having to go back to court almost once a month when it was not needed. Marilynn signed on and got us amazing results within 4 and a half months! We were able to come to a fair agreement in mediation. I feel like she really cared about me and my children and honestly had our best interests in mind. She knew my case as well as I did, and so did her staff. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent attorney.
