Not Worth The Money!

My divorce went to mediation. The opposing attorney ran a bluff regarding spousal support, not called for in the situation. Ms McGuire recommended I accept it, which I did. I found out afterward from my ex that it was a bluff her attorney NEVER expected us to accept having to do with the common law m...arriage statutes. Cost me $12,000.00 in temporary support, plus $4,000.00 in attorney's fees.

Excellent Custody Attorney

Marilyn did an excellent job. She really knows what she is doing. She took care of my messy divorce and custody battle with ease. I am not the type that likes to be bothered with all the ends and outs. Marilyn took care of everything without all the fuss. I would definitely recommend her as a family ...lawyer. The office is very nice, easy parking.

Good

Ms McGuire is a good attorney for the price. She seemed to genuinely care about my case and did a decent job representing me. Her communications weren't always up to par, but then again what lawyer is. There were a few instances that I had to inquire about things I had heard from people regarding pos...sible scenarios for my case but she always had logical responses. I would recommend her for easy, uncontested cases. I didn't quite get the vibe she was comfortable as a trial lawyer though, if it were to come to that.

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.

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.
