Marlene M. Zinsmeister

Marlene Zinsmeister was recommended because she was a “ Bulldog” in court, which I needed for my case. After my consultation with Marlene and briefing her on my situation she was overly confident that my then husband would “ Pay for what he did”. She oversold herself. I felt confident in her abilitie...s. Boy was I wrong! I was spoken to as if I was expected to understand the system and how things worked and when I would call for clarification I was charged every time. Her unfriendly front desk staff seemed to get annoyed with my questions. I wanted to understand more about what needed to be done or what happens next... I had to have a second meeting to get a better understanding ($425 later....) All of these things were annoying but what makes me rate her a 1 Star is the fact that during our consultation she “ oversold” herself but when we went to mediation she didn’t fight for anything. Hours upon hours of gathering receipts paper trails photos emails, all things you requested and it did nothing. When I asked her how about certain things that she had said my ex would pay her only reply was “ well you can’t force a person by law to pay/ sell ....” WELL if that was the case I could’ve told you that they would never AGREE!” I was completely disillusioned by the woman that told me she had my best interest. I was out 15K ( yes I have the custody of my children) but lost my home and everything that I put into it for so many years. No marital support no insurance. I wish I could disclose in full detail all that I endured that led up to my divorce and how it would seem like a open and shut case..but then this review really wouldn’t be anonymous ... let’s just say I wasn’t just screwed over by my ex.
