Holly L. Marshall

She came highly recommended by another attorney. I was prompted to seek her out because she was a member of the “Modest Mean” program for women. I should have dropped her immediately after I hired her. My consultation was a 2.5 hour meeting where she listen some but did most of the talking. She is v...ery talkative about matters that don’t pertain to your case while she charges you on the back end. After she was made aware of the opposing counsel’s name, her exact words “Oh, I’ve never worked with him before; I’m looking forward to developing a working relationship with him”. I should have fired her then; she sold me down the river in my divorce. I repeatedly asked her to file for spousal maintenance during the process prior to the divorce, she would not do it. I asked her to file for contempt when my ex refused to keep the existing bills paid prior to the divorce, she would not do it. The opposing counsel switch the original Judge for my case and I told Holly to switch it back. She would not do it even though I was the one who filed for divorced. Her exact words “Oh it doesn’t make any difference which Judge hear your case” that is a bold face lie. It makes a BIG difference. Her continued advice to me was that I would have plenty of money once the divorce was final and I could buy a condo and live in it and be well off. Prior to my divorce, the ex and I were worth over 1 million in assets. Once the divorce was final, I walked away with no spousal maintenance, no medical support (ended up on AHCCCS), lost 3 homes, and only received half of the ex’s retirement. The cash I received was burned through with excessive billing charges. I came out batter by lazy/sloppy attorney work, her siding with opposing counsel throughout the process, a lack of attorney client confidentially, $10k bill for 1 year of service and no condo. Beware!

I very highly recommend Holly for any family law matter. My world changed the minute I came in contact with her, she handle my divorce, with professionalism and kindness. She fought with the other opposing party with teeth and nails. Kept me informed on everything that was going on and it times, whe...n I was ready to throw in the towel, she was able to calm me down and kept the fight on. At the end I got what was rightfully mine. God Bless you Holly L. Marshall, you are great at what you do and believe.

There are not enough positive words that I can mention but I will sum her up as A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I have known Ms. Marshall since I was a teen when she represented my mom with her divorce from my dad. Now as a 31 y.o. single father with custody problems, she has not only been my guide and confidant ...but she has ALWAYS led me in the right direction. I have referred a few of my friends to her as well and they were just as pleased with her excellent, warm professionalism and knowledge. My friends had met other attorney's but when they met Ms. Marshall they understood why I find her to be an expert in her field.

Horrible horrible experience with this attorney! She came highly recommended by several resources which is what prompted me to seek out her services for my high conflict custody battle. I should have realized it was a mistake to hire her when our consultations turned into state history lessons or her... attempting to 'educate' me on why I should join the Democratic Party (and charged me for this unsolicited advice of course). What made me decide to fire her was her suggestion to take my then boyfriend now husband 'for everything he's got then drop him like a bad habit'. I kid you not, these were her exact words.

I feel compelled to share my extraordinary experience as a family law client of Holly Marshall. It isn’t often that I find myself singing the praises of someone who has gone above and beyond my expectations, but am honored to do so when it comes to Holly Marshall. In the past 18 months, I emb...arked on a life-changing experience, but I did not do it alone. I was fortunate enough to have the incredible guidance and representation I was given by Holly Marshall, as my divorce attorney. Initially, I interviewed several, long-time, Arizona family law attorneys and felt that I was ‘just another case’ and minimized the odds of my success in court. After sharing my experiences with these attorneys with someone who has spent many years in the Arizona legal system, I was referred to Holly Marshall. This last and final referral made all the difference in the world to me. Holly took the time to understand my situation, she asked questions that allowed her to get more facts that I would not have thought was important. Her compassion and insight was something that I had not experienced during my interviews of other attorneys. When I left her office after our first meeting, I had a feeling of self confidence that I had not felt in a very long time. I believed that I now had a true partner in my corner of the ring. Each and every legal deadline was respectfully met by Holly and her staff. Even if the opposing attorney did not respect these deadlines, Holly insisted that we would, showing respect for the legal system and honoring my reputation to the court. Holly and her staff were diligent in compiling the needed documentation to support my claims and defend my rights in a clear and concise manner. It was evident the judge appreciated her efforts as well. During my open divorce case, I was continually kept up to date and consulted with at each juncture. The kindness shown me, by Holly’s staff, was immeasurable, as I was a bit of a basket case in the beginning. Even more important to me, was the respect shown to my intelligence. Holly made sure I was informed of all possible outcomes of my case, allowing me the ability to be a hands-on participant. Even while delivering these reality checks, Holly’s determination to work hard to protect my rights never waned. Holly’s experience in both courtroom proceedings and settlement skills played a huge part in my divorce case. The eventual outcome was more than I had hoped for and allowed me to move forward with self respect and confidence. I have Holly to thank for all aspects of the final divorce decree rulings. She not only believed in me, but appropriately applied the law to prove it. Thank you, Holly! Susie Strehlow Phoenix, Arizona
