Marina Korol

Marina is an excellent Family Law attorney. I highly recommend her. She is down to earth and can communicate with you in an honest and no nonsense manner. Divorce is very emotional, and her approach is very kind; yet firm and professional. Marina is very ethical in every manner. For example, I... was required to disclose every detail of my financials; because it was the law. The opposing party – did not disclose much, if anything at all. At the time it felt unfair. Why was I doing the right thing and the opposing counsel was not enforcing this law to her client? Well – it turns out, I’m very glad I was guided to follow the law. If every attorney was like Marina, divorce would be quick, easy, and inexpensive. But they are not. Marina is highly knowledgably about Family Law, and does extensive research independently. I have seen her sit in court, just for fun/educational purposes. She loves Family Law, and you can tell. She is well-spoken and passionate about the field. Her instincts are accurate. Not because of luck, but because of experience. Unfortunately, there are many poorly educated and/or non-caring Family Law attorneys practicing in this field; who will take advantage of you and your emotions. Marina will not. You can trust her, as a person and as an attorney.

Ms. Korol has represented me from April 2013 to present. One year ago, I found myself in emergent need of quality family law representation. I had a surprise "Order to Show Cause" filed upon me and unbeknownst to me, my previously retained attorney was "semi-retired" and in Asia until a month past ...my hearing date. My wife and I researched dozens of top Los Angeles family law attorneys here on AVVO, as well as several other internet sites. Ms. Korol and Ms. Velen continued to stand out as two of Los Angeles' premier family law specialists. My case is very important to me, as it affects the physical custody time I have with my two minor children. With that being said, I wanted the best possible representation. After reviewing and consulting with other top Los Angeles attorneys, I knew the best decision was to hire Ms. Korol and the Law Offices of Korol and Velen. I am a Los Angeles County employee and I have several friends who work at the Stanley Mosk Family Court. It was comforting to hear them praise and commend Ms. Korol and Ms. Velen on their knowledge, professionalism, and courtroom demeanor. From the moment I reached out to Ms. Korol for representation until today, Ms. Korol has been available and very responsive, 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. Ms. Korol, her associate attorney Ms. Nydia Loya, and all the professional staff at the Law Offices of Korol and Velen have all worked very diligently on my case. The opposing counsel and the petitioner made every attempt to make my life miserable by delaying my case, attempting to minimize my physical custody time, and attempted to force me to pay unreasonable amounts of child support and care. Thanks to the great family law knowledge and experience of Ms. Korol and Ms. Loya, coupled with their long hours of dedication to my case, we were able to defeat the opposition on nearly all issues in court, and I received a favorable decision. I would definitely recommend Ms. Korol and the Law Offices of Korol and Velen. They are truly top Los Angeles family law specialists!

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 has and continues to be great! A few years ago, I was searching for a new lawyer and within 5 minutes of speaking to Marina about my specific case, I knew she was the one. Marina made me very comfortable in describing how she would approach my specific issues with my ex-spouse. Famil...y law has a lot of uncertainty associated with it and Marina has been very skillful in maneuvering me through it all. Marina was especially adept at dealing with the LADCSS. Also I need mention that Marina also has very good associates and support staff in her office. Over the years Marina Korol has proven herself and I am very content with our relationship. I have recommended Marina Korol and her firm and will continue to do so.

For anyone looking for a smart, professional, straight forward, no nonsense attorney...Marina is the one for you! She cleaned up the mess my first divorce attorney made and I couldn't have been happier with the results. When it comes to attorneys you really do get what you pay for. What I apprecia...ted most about her is that she kept me informed. She explained the process, layed out the strategy and executed. There is so much information that needs to be pulled together for a divorce and for the most part you are an emotional wreck. Marina is able to pull it together and get you focused on "the battle". She left no rock unturned. I really had a "pitbull" on my team and I mean that with the utmost respect. I would highly recommend Marina for your family law needs.
