Exceptional Family Law Attorney

I highly recommend Marina to anyone in need of an honest and extremely knowledgeable family law lawyer. Marina helped through a very difficult family law matter and she not only kept me very well-informed but she made it much more bearable. She made herself available to me on the weekends and she rea...lly made me feel like she actually cared about my situation. She was very good about listening to what I wanted and respecting my wishes as opposed to pushing her ideas on me. She was far more knowledgeable than the opposing counsel and Marina was very good at keeping me in the loop as to her conversations with opposing counsel and any new developments in the matter. I would absolutely recommend Marina to my family and friends.

Marina Korol Review

Marina is a passionate and very knowledgeable family law lawyer. She, along with her staff, was always courteous and responsive to my numerous phone calls and email correspondence. I especially would like to thank Nadia for her utter sweetness, understanding, and compassion every time I spoke with ...her throughout the course of my case. I truly appreciated Marina’s strong straightforwardness and professionalism in and out of the court room. She was a strong presence to deal with for our opposing counsel and was able to secure a higher monthly child support amount than I had ever hoped to have obtained. I am grateful for her diligence, knowledge, and determination in the handling of my case and would gladly recommend her services to others.

Marina Korol, Highly recommend for Family Law, very capable at complex cases

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.
