Saved my life

I was terrified of my ex, because he was trying to manipulate me in every possible way. Our marriage was dysfunctional. I asked around for referrals for a divorce lawyer and Marilyn’s name came up. I called right away and was scheduled in. I just felt good about it. It was only after I hired her that... I heard she was the most intimidating and honest attorney in Utah. She knows what she’s doing and strives to be fair and reasonable. But she takes no BS. My ex tried to take our kids, tried to say I was mentally unstable, and tried every way possible to get out of child support. He’s still trying, over a year later. :) I was an emotional wreck and Marilyn was there for me, every step of the way. When, during mediation, my ex brought up for the first time that he thought I was too “mentally ill” to have our kids, I started panicking. She held my hand and told me firmly that she would never let that happen to me. I relaxed, and for the rest of our mediation, I calmly watched her SLAY the competition. She did not back down. I ended up getting more than I thought I’d ever win. To the point where I actually felt bad for my ex. I expressed this to her and she told me that what we’d won was fair, and that I was going to need it. She was right, and I still consider hiring her as the best thing I could have done during my divorce.

Why go with anyone else?!

I wouldn't think of using anyone but Marilyn on ANY case! She was fantastic and represented me better than anyone could! How many fathers do YOU know who have FULL custody of their children? I know one happy father:)
