also known as Attorney Marilyn D. York, Inc.
Please see my personal bio and personal story at:
Marilyn York has over 21 years of exclusive family law experience, unlike many other divorce attorneys who advertise 27 years of experience but hardly any of it is in family law; she passed the California Bar, the Nevada Bar, and the Nevada Certified Family Law Specialist exams on her first attempts. She is always sober (therefore clear headed); quick thinking; and good at math to do marital balance sheets and protect your financial assets.
Marilyn is fully dedicated and passionate about Men's Rights and protecting their children; she is fair, honest, powerful and never over works or over charges a case. She is highly respected by the Second Judicial District Court - Family Division and has successfully represented Nevada Judges and Court employees. Many of her other Clients have been Doctors, Lawyers and Policemen. Such clients love Marilyn because she is so tough in Court. You can't beat that.
The best family lawyers in the Reno area work for Marilyn long term because she exclusively handles family law cases, specializes in Men's Rights and because the pay and the benefits are the best in the area. This attracts the best Clients and often saves them from bad experiences elsewhere.
If you are having serious Marital Disputes, you could benefit greatly by scheduling an Initial Consultation with us for FREE if you hire us the same day; otherwise you pay only $350. You will get sound legal advice, know where you stand and better know what to do next with no commitment.
Before you hire a family lawyer, you should insure he or she has the requisite family law experience because many of the local lawyers advertise lots of years of experience ostensiibly as family lawyers and yet we never see them in Family Court. Be wary and don't hire anybody just based on advertising. Get personal referrals from the legal community (family Court) or from others who have experienced divorce.
We know family Attorneys -
with serious addictions that diminish their abilities and effectiveness
who love to drag out cases by being unresponsive or ridiculously vicious in their responses
that add fuel to the fire to extend cases and always push for Court
that seem to charge huge sums for not very much work
that appear in Court unprepared and are not respected by the Court

Marilyn, Ilin and the entire staff were extremely easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable and professional in handling a difficult breakup. Their advice was excellent and the outcome was much better than I had hoped to achieve. Simply put, they exceeded both their promise and my expectations. ...
Thank you Gordon, you were wonderful to work for.

Marilyn is sharp and to the point when it comes to legal rights for minors. She does not make reckless promises and always has the good of the child in mind. She will fight with everything she has to assure the innocent child is protected, especially when abuse is suspected. She has watched over m...

I was fortunate to have the team of Marilyn York, Esq. and Del Porter, Paralegal as my counsel to win my divorce in 2009. Their independent talents compliment each other for a very efficient and effective team. I engaged them 20 days before trial. This is an extraordinary short period of time to prep...
"Marilyn is a tremendous asset to my clients who are going through a difficult time-period in connection with a divorce. Her practice is centered on representing Men in divorces, against whom the legal system often seems to be tilted against. Marilyn's tough no-nonsense approach has leveled the playing field for my clients. They have all given Marilyn tremendous reviews."

Excellent: generally there are or no "winners" in Family Law Cases but fair settlements prevail with enough expertise and effort. Justice does not flow reliably like water from a tap. It needs fought for.
