Marsha Kay Niedens

Divorcing a narcissist is extremely hard, especially in a high conflict divorce and when attorneys smell assets and money. Prior to retaining Ms. Niedens, I had worked with 4 attorneys. Unfortunately, I did not feel like I had proper guidance and/or tangible representation with any of them. I felt ...as I was just a milking cow for all attorneys. I also felt oppressed and that there is no fairness for men in California. My first attorney was horrible and not trustworthy. The second was unable to handle my ex’s attorney who is aggressive and used unethical tactics. The third wanted me to, simply, bend over and give up on everything, and the fourth was too busy with many other cases - nothing was done other than billing me for communicating my ex’s demands. My divorce was lengthy, toxic, and very expensive. Backward 9 years ago, when I initiated my divorce, I contacted numerous law offices including Ms. Niedens office. Even though my intuition and gut instincts were telling me to retain Ms. Niedens, I went with the shiny attorneys who have glowing reviews and prestigious offices thinking they would provide the best legal representation for me. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I MADE WHICH I WILL ALWAYS REGRET. After years of being milked by the attorneys and my ex with no results, I decided to go with my initial gut feeling…I went back to Ms. Niedens begging her to take my case. After accepting my case, Ms. Niedens developed a legal strategy and explained it to me in a simple way. Shortly thereafter, I started hearing the hits on the big drum. I started seeing results. For the first time in years, I felt that justice and fairness can be accomplished in California. I felt that my best interests and legal rights are being supported and protected. I now realize that justice comes with evidence and the ability of the attorney to know the law and provide zealous representation. During my journey with Ms. Niedens, she acted like a navigator who drove while reading the map. She knew exactly when it was better to take the bus instead of the bike. Now that my case is into closure, I can confidently attest to her skills, knowledge, and expertise. Ms. Niedens is a highly competent attorney, and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable, and very professional. She is sincere, confidant, sharp, truly genuine, fair, and tough. She knows the system very well and is highly respected by the court. I am very impressed with her attention to details, deep knowledge of every detail of my very long case, and her ability to think outside the box. I will always be deeply grateful to her and her team (Mallory and Justine) for the outstanding support they provided and still providing to me. I highly recommend Ms. Niedens and her team. They are the BEST. A five plus stars review is not enough compares to the outstanding results and support they provided to me.

We were in a year long parental rights battle utilizing a different lawyer. After that seemed to go almost nowhere, we consulted with Marsha Niedens and she explained to us all things wrong thus far with our case. We started from scratch utilizing her services and after a lengthy battle, we gained pe...ace in our household. Highly recommended family law attorney.

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.
