Family & Child Custody case

Marjorie and her team treated me like family. They were very patient while they walked me through the court process. They were kind, respectful, and thorough, and they executed every step in a timely manner. The team was very educated on the subjects of child custody and family court. I received ...excellent preparation for my session with the family counselor. Marjorie was always positive and told me that it's her job to "worry" and take on any obstacles that may occur, which helped to alleviate a lot of my stress. I had a very positive outcome in the end and was glad that my voice was heard. It was refreshing to know that my role as a father seemed important to someone. I was appreciative that she was able to see that made others see it as well. I'm happy with my decision to hire Ms. Huntington to represent me.

Secured my financial future

Many people hire a divorce attorney to protect them from the "other side." In my case, the best reason why I hired Marjorie is because she protected me from myself. I was extremely hurt and all I wanted to do was "get this over with." Marjorie was mindful of this and never strayed from her intention ...of getting me the best settlement that I deserved. After diligent work, enormous patience and accurately assessing my situation, I am financially secure. She helped guide me through the grueling, emotional process with grace and strength. Definitely hire Marjorie if you want professionalism and someone who will stand up for what is rightfully yours.

Divorce and custody

Being a novice at divorce, I struggled with a young inexperienced attorney (who churned up the costs) and an antagonistic attorney (who used my divorce as a forum carry out her dysfunctionality) before discovering Marjorie. Her focus and strategy aligned with my goals of custody and financial protec...tion. Marjorie approach is honest and matter-of-fact. She provided excellent advice and guided me such that the end result was toward a healthy co-parenting relationship. She kept the discussions child focused and set realistic goals. Marjorie provided me with necessary tools to accomplish a successful outcome. Marjorie explained the pros and cons of certain approaches and valued my input. She guided me toward mediation, educated me as necessary and helped to keep costs down. Her support staff is efficient and accomplished. My children and I are lucky to have her and her group in our corner. They are smart, honest, and have integrity. I have highly recommended her to my friends and acquaintances who have to endure this struggle. Thanks Marjorie and staff, I appreciate all the hard work and dedication.

excellent experience

I highly recommend Marjorie to represent me. She assessed my situation and gave me several options. She helped me to make changes in my life that will forever positively effect me and my family. I am grateful for her influence on me. She is sensitive and professional and I am a better person from ...working with her.

Excellent attorney

I can not say enough good things about Marjorie Huntington and her assistant Divina. Marjorie came highly recommended not only by a respected mediator in the family law field but also by a friend whose ex husband she represented and who wished Marjorie had been her attorney. My divorce was incredibl...y bitter, she protected my children and did the absolute best for me in a terrible situation. She and Divina are responsive and have incredible attention to detail. Her arguments were always succinct and it was very apparent that she is respected by her peers from the numerous interactions I witnessed. I was a classic abused wife, she stood between me and ex husband all the while keeping expectations realistic and keeping a lid on sometimes out of control emotions with her quick wit. I do not know what I would have done without this incredibly classy lady. She is bright, sharp and focused, always to the point, does not burn through your money and is very clear about the benefits of actions versus cost. I have the most enormous respect for Marjorie and could not recommend her more highly.
