School Board Issue Resolution

Marianne was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and had deep expertise in our area of concern. Marianne listened supportively and quickly built a case built on data and facts that she was able to resolve promptly through just a few phone calls. Her communication throughout was timely and thorough....

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.

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.

RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM ATTORNEY MARIANNE HOWLAND

WARNING: Do "NOT" hire Attorney Marianne Howland nor this Law Firm if do not want to be ripped off and if you want your case to remain in the same spot before hiring them. It's very troubling to know that she nor this law firm doesn't care about families but only wants to make their pockets larger. ...When I discovered back in March 2022 that Attorney Howland wasn't doing the work on my case like she stated she was, I immediately contacted her boss which is Lisa Duffee and Melina Eitzen. Do you know that I haven't yet to hear from Lisa nor Melinda and my current attorney and I left countless messages with Secretary Ms. Treese but no return phone call. Now since April 2022 this law firm has been fighting with my banking institution and I about the refund of my money that I paid to them since I wasn't rendered service. Furthermore, when Attorney Howland was subpoenaed for my July 26,2022 hearing to testify why she and I didn't appear to my January 25, 2022 hearing, guess what she didn't even bother to appear, and this particular hearing turned to a Capias. Last but not least, Duffee & Eitzen Law Firm are individuals that do not have Integrity and very Heartless for others. On the other hand, I will like "THANK" Larson Rogers (Accountant) for conversing with me regarding this dispute. By the way Mr. Roger, you may need to find another firm to work at because these attorneys are hurting your reputation since you are a man of uprightness. RUN RUN RUN firom Duffee & Eitzen Law Firm
