Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Marshall is a pillar of the family law community. I had the privilege of litigating a highly contested custody matter against him. Notwithstanding the type of case, Marshall was professional and straightforward throughout the matter. We ended up resolving the matter on the courthouse steps so to speak. This was truly the best option for both parties. I highly endorse this lawyer.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Marshall Waller is an attorney of the highest caliber. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any family law matter in Los Angeles County.
Jan Grossman, Divorce and separation Attorney on Nov 17, 2008
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I whole-heartedly and enthusiatically endorse this lawyer's work. My relationship with Marshall Waller goes back to 1981 and continues to this day. It is not often that one has an opportunity to commend and praise a friend, who is also a colleague, without reservation or pause. The oft-quoted phrase, " a gentleman and a scholar", barely scratches the surfacase in describing Marshall's talents, generally as a lawyer, and specifically as a litigator, who is not only adept, but artful. He writes and speaks with eloguence, while at the same time providing his clients both compassionate and agressive representation. HE IS ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST HONEST lawyers I have ever known. I would not hesitate to have him represent me or any member of my family should the occassion arise. Though we currently reside and work in different States, I continue to seek his advice and counsel.

Marshall Waller is knowledgeable and insightful, and offers solutions to the Judges that are in keeping with both the black letter law and the legislative intent behind the law. In addition to his knowledge and skill, he is also personable. He presents very well in the courtroom and is able to connect with his listener. He is an impressive family law attorney whose talent increases over time.
