"I endorse this lawyer. Marla is a hard-working and experienced attorney, and is extremely knowledgeable about a variety of business law issues."
"I endorse this lawyer. Marla and her team are no-nonsense practiioners that can dig down and focus on the real issues driving a deal. Her background gives her a business person's pragmatism to help move the deal forward and still navigate all of potential legal landmines in any merger or other business deal"
"I endorse Marla. She is a respected member of the Orange County legal community. She has a great reputation as a fine advocate and she has taught employment law as well."
"Ms. Robinson is a terrific attorney who goes above and beyond for her clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Marla is an extremely knowledgeable employment and labor attorney, with over 20 years of expierence in this area of law. Marla is a smart, conscientious and highly ethical business lawyer, with actual business experience, who works very hard and diligently for her clients. Marla is also very experienced in M&As. I highly recommend Marla."
"I endorse this lawyer's work, without hesitation or reservation. The choices of responses to the questions asked here about "Relationship to the lawyer ... and "Primary practice area ..." are too limited. Ms. Robinson and I first met as opposing counsel in an M&A matter, and, as a result of my very favorable impressions, subsequently we have collaborated on M&A, general business and dispute resolution matters. Further, I have both retained and referred Ms. Robinson for and to my clients' interests in employers' employment law matters. Most importantly by my standards, through these experiences, I have come to know Ms. Robinson as an intelligent, extremely competent, pragmatic and successful problem solver, all in a manner consistent with her clients' objectives and needs. Ms. Robinson is a damn fine lawyer!"
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Marla Robinson is highly ethical and very competent. She works together with opposing counsel to get deals accomplished."
"Marla is one of the brightest and most talented people that I have had the pleasure of working for. Marla can focus on more than the legal issues at stake; she really understands the business impact of the legal issues. She also has the ability to explain complex issues in a way that is understandable to someone that is unfamiliar with the subject matter. I would highly recommend Marla’s work to any business owner, executive or other professional."
