Nina Marino

After 3 years working on my case and constant extensions, I informed Ms. Marino about my intention to add a second attorney to the case. Nina became very irate, and she immediately submitted documents to the Federal Court requesting withdrawal. At the hearing, she asked the judge to have a private me...eting with her regarding her request and had everyone thrown out of court. After 20 minutes waiting outside the court room, we were allowed back in, and the judge allowed her request for withdrawal. To this day I have no idea what she told the judge in the closed session to get approval to withdraw as my attorney after I had paid her in full over two hundred thousand dollars. The client has every right to have multiple attorneys and her actions were very unprofessional.

My wife and I were indicted in an international white-collar crime in which the losses were in the multiple million dollars, and each of us were facing several charges which could have resulted in jail time of over 150 years if served consecutively. Once, we had mandated Nina Marino and her firm to ...defend our case for a predetermined upfront legal fee, herself and her colleague flew thousands of miles to meet with us face to face for several days, to grasp the details of the case. No lawyer, especially with today’s technology to meet over zoom will do this sacrifice and expense for you. We did not understand back then, but we definitely understand now. She wanted to meet with us, because she wanted to know what kind of individuals we are, where we came from, and how we got involved in this. She wanted to get a feeling face to face, and that you can not get over a zoom call. This act showed us from day one what kind of person Nina Marino was, she is caring and compassionate. We knew, she had our back, and that is the most important aspect when you are facing multiple federal indictments. My wife is severely ill, and she is facing multiple non curable diseases. After our voluntary surrender to the US authorities through the extradition process, the court approved us to be released on the condition of a huge amount of bail bond. While in custody it would have taken our family back home several weeks to gather this bail bond, instead Nina Marino paid it on our behalf through her firm, and we were released the same day. Now you tell me, which lawyer would do this gesture for you? No one. Of course, we paid her back after our return back home in a very timely fashion, but that is not the point. Remember, I said earlier she has your back. She definitely does. Our case lasted almost 5 years. From day one until the last day, Nina Marino answered our emails and phone calls immediately. Given her amazing reputation, we can only imagine how many multiple cases and clients she has at the same time, but at no point we felt neglected for a second. She always made us feel that we are her number one priority, which I am sure all her other clients will say the same. Nina Marino and her colleague from the same firm Jennifer Lieser, worked tireless on our case for years, going through each document and evidence, even spending evenings and weekends instead being with their loved ones, finding discrepancies & explanations and chipping away at the indictments. The power house legal team of Nina Marino and Jennifer Lieser through their dedicated and detailed work, smart thinking, analysing and strategic planning have fought until the last minute to get the best possible outcome for my wife and myself and I can say with confidence that we could not be any happier. Nina Marino and Jennifer Lieser are role models for any lawyers, and I know for a fact that we could have not received even remotely the same outcome if we hired any other legal firm. I would not hesitate to recommend Nina Marino and Jennifer Lieser for a second, because they have been there for us from day one, and I know they will do the same for any other client of theirs. God bless you Nina Marino & Jennifer Lieser and your families and thank you for all you have done for my wife and me.

I came to Nina in a very scary and horrible situation. I was involved in a complex federal fraud case. Nina calmed me down and told me "we would get through this together", And we did! Nina protected me and always had my best interest at heart. The outcome: the FBI only ended up having me as a witnes...s. I would recommend Nina to anyone, she is extremely smart and diligent, honest, trustworthy, personable and cares about her clients. Nina responded to me and would answer any calls immediately. She is a role model for all attorneys. Thank you, Nina!

I am happy to say that Nina Marino reached a positive outcome for my case. She did exactly what she said she would. She had fair billings. She returned phone calls either immediately or in reasonable time. She kept a clear head and was able to figure out the correct way to solve the different issues ...that came up. And most importantly, she prevailed when other attorneys failed. I highly recommend her, as she is a problem solver and makes complicated matters seem easy.

I was indicted on an international drug conspiracy case with a 10 year mandatory minimum. My parents knew Nina for many years and hired her. To be honest I was skeptical at first. From what I understood she handled mainly white collar crimes. She quickly took away my worry and I felt confident sh...e was the best person for the case. It amazed me how well she understood the details of my case. I was involved with very complicated transactions and she grasped it like a sponge. Nina is very smart, caring and detail oriented. There is nothing that gets by her and she knows every aspect of the system. Nina was by my side every step of the way and did things she didn't have to do. She went above and beyond what was necessary. My case dragged on for 4 years and never once did I feel neglected. If I called, emailed, etc she would handle my issue at that moment or get back to me ASAP. Going through an indictment looking at 10+ years can be very depressing. Nina was so uplifting and mentally encouraging, she really kept me going and positive. She became more like a friend or family to me and I hope to keep in touch with her the rest of my life. One of the many things that blew me away was her Sentencing Memo. It was so thought out and read like a good book. The details of my life, personal transformation and letters of support were put together brilliantly. I read some of my codefendants Sentencing Memos written by top notch attorneys and compared to Nina's they were embarrassing. The outcome of my case was 5 years probation!! I believe I was the only person on an indictment with 50+ people not to be sentenced to prison. There is no doubt in my mind had Nina not been my attorney I would be sitting in prison at this very moment with many years to go. Everything throughout the last 4 years couldn't have gone any better. The only drawback to my case ending is not talking to Nina as often. Do yourself a favor, if your looking for a criminal defense lawyer, look no further, call Nina and relax.
