Marilyn York is the BEST

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...y grandson for 5 years and I thank God for her. Yes she is expensive and she earns every penny, what is your children's well being worth? Everything......Marilyn, that is what he is worth.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 16

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

Sample of Legal Cases

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
