Family Lawyer Like No Other

Marianne is hands-down the best. She gets it. She has gone above and beyond in handling my post-divorce high-conflict case. She has stood by me every step of the way. Above all else, Marianne has laser focus on what truly matters in situations such as mine - the child/ren. I will recommend Maria...nne time and again as she has far exceeded my expectations not only as a lawyer but also as someone who truly gets it and cares.

Marianne is the BEST!

For over ten years now, my wife and I have worked with Marianne on a complicated custody case involving my children from a previous marriage. Marianne has helped us prevail through several suits filed by my ex wife. She is always very professional while still being very kind and caring. I know she st...ays busy but we have always felt like we were her only clients. We highly recommend her to anyone needing help with a family law matter.

Professional and Honest

I retained Marianne for a child custody case. She is hard working and prompt. I was able to settle through mediation with the help of Marianne.

Excellent Family Lawyer

Marianne was amazing. I have two children and I had no idea how I was going to get through the divorce, let alone understand it, and somehow still manage to successfully co-parent successfully during such a difficult time. Not only is she professional, responsive, efficient and incredibly successful ...and thorough advocate but she also was caring patient, and really helped me understand every step of the process. I highly recommend her and I am extremely grateful.
