CARES about what is best for kids. VERY HARD WORKER. Plays by the rules and knows how to handle dirty lawyers.

Marilynn CARES. She really cares about what is best for the children. And she refuses to "bend the rules". If you want someone to play dirty, Marilynn is NOT the one for you. She is one intense fireball who is passionate and therefore is successful by being extremely knowledgeable about intricate ...rules and fine points. Her strong point is not putting up with dirty attorneys, but patiently backing them into a corner. She loves to work with ethical attorneys, and can get a lot done if your attorney will shoot straight. VERY HARD WORKING. She does expect you to do your part in terms of producing what she asks of you. Bottom line? Cares about what is best for the children, works her tail off, is passionate, and won't let others get away with dirty tricks. Clients whose attorneys went up against Marilynn, and lost, have recommended Marilynn to their friends. That speaks volumes. She focuses on what is important, not what may be your personal "agenda" as a client. Again, she insists on playing up and up, but she is so good at it she doesn't have to play dirty like others.
