Marsha Kay Niedens

I highly recommend Marsha as an attorney. I had worked with 4 attorneys prior to retaining Marsha. Two attorneys retired and two dropped the ball on my family law issues. Having two young children in a high conflict divorce, I needed an attorney that would be honest with me about what would be res...onable expectations for my children. Court at times does not seem fair and I quickly learned that if you leave the courts/judges to make decisions for your family matters, you may not like the outcome. After years of court hearings, custody evaluations, and dealing with a spouse that I could not work with I was dependant on Marsha to represent me and work with my ex spouses attorney. I needed someone to present to me relasistic expectations of what could happen, not what they felt that they wanted to get for me. My divorce was over quickly, however; the custody and co-parenting issues became very problematic. Marsha spoke with me honestly, factually (even if I did not like what she told me) and had the best interest of my children at heart. I did not always like the results of the outcome at times, but that is what happens when you depend on the courts to make decisions about your children. Marsha has always listened to my concerns, offered options, and allowed me to make the final decisions as to how I wanted to procede. She spent many hours of negotiations with my ex spouse's attorney trying to resolve the issues at hand. If my ex would not work with us, we had to go to court. Going to court was costly, but I had to advocate for my children. Negotiations would begin in court again and if no resolution could be made, the issue went in front of the judge, and he would decide what would happen. Family Law is not always a fair place to play. I tried representing myself for about 1 1/2 years, but as the situation worsened, I had to get Marsha back involved. Marsha has helped me and both my children weather through a divorce and tough court custody situations. The situation is finally calming down.
