Marina Korol

After wading my way through three "radio advertised professionals" who took my money and ignored me and my case, I was fortunate to find Ms. Korol. Unwinding a 22 year marriage and business relationship was difficult and complicated, but due to Marina's commitment to professionalism and and a dedica...tion to follow through on her promises, we were able to fairly settle all affairs. Most impressive in dealing with Ms. Korol was her, and her staff's, consistent and reliable communication concerning the progress on my case. From the very first meeting until the final resolution, I always felt fortunate that I had such a qualified professional representing me and my future.

Marina Korol demonstrated a strong knowledge California Family Law and was very informed about the developments in this ever changing arena. In our initial consult I explained the case and she was able to quickly and clearly define the steps that would be required in order to obtain the outcome I de...sired. I had interviewed with several attorneys prior to my selection of Marina. Marina provided the most concise and clear strategy in the initial consult. Throughout the case she demonstrated a remarkable ability to see through to the essential matters and remain laser focused on the core legal issues of the case. I appreciated her straight forward and professional manner. She will let you know when you are losing sight of the whole picture. She has a calm, strong presence in the court room while at the same time pulling no punches with opposing counsel. I have had the opportunity to work with other attorneys throughout my professional life; yet, this was my first time going through anything that dealt with child custody and divorce. The case was complex and involved, requiring a diligent attention to detail. She was on task and responsive to my needs. She returned phone calls and emails in a timely manner. She met and conferred with me prior to hearings and trial. She was open to my concerns and suggestions and was able to provide me with sound counsel during this highly emotional and difficult time. I cannot emphasize that it is essential to match the attorney for the case. Marina’s personality, strategic mind and insight, legal knowledge and years of experience practicing in Family Law were essential to accomplishing what I needed in this case.

Marina, successfully handled a difficult out-of-state child custody case for our family. The California standards for change of custody and moving a child out of California are very high. Many criteria must be met in order to do this. . Marina, worked tirelessly making sure everything was done pr...operly. She was brilliant in court. There were times in this case where the court moved slowly, and we felt the system might fail us. Marina and her team were excellent at keeping us focused and on track to obtain the needed outcome. Our family trusts Marina and her team with the most precious people in our lives. Marina is straight-forward and honest. Custody changes are emotionally difficult for both sides. Marina kept us informed and let us know what to expect. And then there are the unexpected issues that can occur during a case like this--Marina stayed on top of it all. We appreciate Marina so much

Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience as the other reviewers. Marina Korol and her staff (one of the reviewers) made many mistakes in and out of court, which cost me a lot of money. Her lack of attention to detail is inexcusable and extremely unprofessional. However, Marina does understan...d family law but may not get your case facts correct during your court hearing. I recommend that if you do retain this attorney, you do your due diligence in reviewing all her work and consistently ask questions, which will inevitably accrue high expenses due to the fact that you may spend a lot of time correcting her and her staff's mistakes. Which in my experience they will double bill for.
