Estate Planing
I used Mrs Ludlow to prepare all my documents for my estate planing. She was very through. She took the time to listen to what I needed done. She was able to give me suggestions on what I needed to include. When we were finished she went over the documents and presented me a complete portfolio. I was very impressed with her thoroughness .

Refreshing honesty and sincerity in a sea of sharks
Mrs. Ludlow is a great attorney, she listens carefully, has an extensive knowledge of the law, and really cares about her clients best interests. Her honesty and sincerity are refreshing in a sea of sharks. She is an attorney that you can rely on and trust.
She listened to the complicated details of my case and was very clear communicating the applicable legal ramifications. Since this was a case going to trial in Virginia I wasn't able to hire her for the full case, after consulting with her I was able to make an informed, and legally sound, decision. I wish she were on the east coast, I would hire her for all of my legal needs.

Top notch attorney! I had a very positive experience with her
I sold a my business to ServiceMaster International over 8 years ago. Marianne Ludlow was interviewed and hired as head of counsel to represent my business for this multimillion dollar transaction. She played a vital role in the negociation of the sales contract and editing the details of the agreement to make our overall transaction very successful. Even the opposing counsel on the ServiceMasters merger and acquisition team was so impressed they joked about hiring her afterwards. Not only did she finish ontime, i felt she went up and beyond her normal legal duties expected by me the client. She was extremely thorough and honest which is a rarity among the majority of attorneys today. Her rate was very reasonable and she kept things together and amicable when tensions became rather high at the very end of the merger. She pushed things forward and we managanged to have a very smooth mergers and closing. I was paid in full thanks to her experience in contractually protecting me as the client. Ive been doing business for many years and hired many attorneys and I can say with complete confidence that was one of highest returns on investment I've experienced. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Marianne Ludlow to anyone who is looking to get things done professionally with correctness, while remaining on the winning team. After all, believe it or not, there are still good and reliable attorneys out there who still will put their clients first. This being said, congratulations on another job well done! Thanks again for your help Marianne. Best Regards, Tim

Outstanding attorney!
I've worked with Marianne on a number of business agreements. She's demonstrated a great understanding of the issues and always adds value to the agreement. She seems to have a knack for finding win-win solutions to difficult issues. I also had her do my will and she did a terrific job. I'd highly recommend Marianne and look forward to working with her again.
