Effective, Caring, and Competent - Marisa will get you through your divorce so that it is a distant memory

Marisa Freese literally turned my case from stagnation to settlement! She patiently reviewed my case and used her fantastic emotional intelligence and people skills to work with opposing counsel to settle my case. Marisa wrote a letter to prompt my ex’s attorney to end the stalemate. After 10 mon...ths of stalling, my ex and his attorney settled with me two days after receiving Marisa’s letter! Marisa’s negotiation skills were crucial in permanently ending my spousal support payments and making my ex pay for his own attorney fees. Marisa was kind and caring and listened to my concerns. She provided realistic expectations of results and worked with me on mitigation plans and negotiation strategies. Marisa has a great understanding of the law as do many lawyers. The difference is that she is extremely effective because she worked with opposing counsel to resolve conflict and issues and provide a fair and equitable result for both parties without me having to endure the financial and emotional toll of trial. My divorce is over and my financial situation is in great shape because of her diligent and careful Marital Settlement Agreement execution. In fact, I can hardly remember my divorce because everything was settled and there were no lose ends to tie up! I have referred many friends and coworkers to Marisa because she was so effective in helping me. In this time of decreased court resources, rising legal fees and long processing times for court orders, you can’t go wrong with Marisa. She will save you time and money and will allow you to get through the process with your rights covered so that you can move on with your life and your divorce will be a distant memory.

"Marisa is both legally thorough and deeply personally caring for her clients. She does not hesitate to reach out to attorneys in other specialties when a matter outside of family law affects her client and their case. Her personal life experiences give her great empathy for others going through the divorce process. I endorse this lawyer."
