Great Attorney!

I feel very lucky to have been represented by Maren Skulborstad . She’s a very knowledgeable and professional attorney. I knew she had a very large caseload during the course of my divorce proceedings; however, she made me feel as though I was her only case. She fought very hard for me, and I felt th...roughout the course of my divorce that we became a team with a common goal. I would not hesitate to seek Maren Skulborstad’s legal representation again. I would definitely recommend her to anybody who needs a great family attorney.

Maren was my lawyer back in 2015. She helped me through a nasty divorce to a narcissistic man. She gave me confidence to keep going and without her team backing me up, I would have crumbled. They were understanding of my situation and helped me every step of the way .

Best decision I ever made!

This is the right attorney for you! Maren and her team will take care of you in every way necessary! I was very frustrated and being taken advantage of by a crazy spouse. Because of this, I lost my cool several times during the process. Maren was able to talk to me like a human being, understand wher...e I was coming from, and then guide me through the process. The Skulborstad Legal Group did every thing I needed and more! They treat you like family. It would be a mistake to look elsewhere!

Fantastic Representation

When I first met Maren I was attempting to handle my divorce "per se", but my ex's attorney's was not wanting to negotiate in a good faith manner. I hired Maren initially on a "limited scope representation" basis, she kept me on track and reviewed the documents I had to submit to the courts. We ended... up going to court(I then hired Maren to handle my full case) and my ex's attorney, would tell anyone who would listen, that she taught three law classes at a local university.  If she was trying to intimidate Maren it did not work, inside the courtroom Maren took my ex's attorney to task, and the judge awarded me my legal share of our home's equity and had the amount of time I had to pay alimony cut in half.  My ex's attorney had convinced my ex she was entitled to 100 percent of our home's equity and 400 percent of the alimony that was due to her, neither happened. I find myself fortunate that I was able to find such fantastic representation, I highly recommend Maren's services.

Really helpful work on my divorce

After a long marriage and deciding to divorce, I was struggling with how to proceed fairly and find a balanced resolution of finances, etc. Maren was very good at explaining my options and helping me decide which to choose, and sometimes gave me a good "dope slap" to think differently about my rights... and not just be kind to my ex! The final results worked out very well.

  • 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.
