Mellanie Suzanne Marshall

I hired attorney Marshall to defend me in a Domestic Violence case. Attorney Marshall did an excellent job during the trial and the court dismissed the restraining order after attorney Marshall tore up my lying ex on direct examination. Other attorneys congratulated attorney Marshall on the excelle...nt job she did after the trial. I highly recommend this attorney.

Mellanie Marshall was hired by me to handle my child custody case. She went on record for my divorce and child support case against my wishes and destroyed my case and cost me my case(s). She gave wrong info, claimed I didn't contest my ex wife taking all of my belongings, lost my child custody and... cost a fortune to fight back after I got rid of her. She does what she wants in court and doesn't listen to her client. Most of the time she doesnt even show up, she has someone else show up for her. I sued her and WON! She fled Sacramento and went to Modesto and has again fled Modesto and is now in Bakersfield. She has YET to pay a penny on the suit I won against her and all she does is run.

I really cannot say enough positive things about Attorney Mellanie Marshall. When I first realized that I would need legal representation for what was to be a high conflict divorce, I scheduled/consulted to meet with a few attorneys and they really didn't do it for me. Upon meeting with Mellanie I ...felt that she understood me and was compassionate and understanding towards my case and I wasn't just a number at the DMV. She is also a brilliant legal mind. Sometimes you are lucky to get one of those and she possesses both (compassion/understanding and the legal know how). As soon as I met with her and talking with her for an hour during the initial consult I knew the search was over and that I had found what I was looking for. And as it turns out it is nice being right! She quickly helped me garner 50/50 custody of my daughter and dealt with the many other issues that came up during that timeframe regarding other parties' obstinate and unreasonable attitude and position. She has also been there for me when absurd accusations were being hurled. She has always made herself available to me if I have had questions or concerns. I've told her I don't know how she does it with clients in different places and times, but she has always gotten back to me in a timely manner and kept me informed of the process and current events. I very much appreciate her keeping me in the loop during this stressful time. She has helped reduce a lot of stress and anxiety in a stress/anxiety laden situation. Another very admirable quality about Mellanie is that she advocates not just for her client's best interest, but for that of the child, in my case Savannah. Some attorneys only have their clients best intentions at heart but she possess both, which I think any parent would/should be happy to hear. In short Mellanie has been in my corner every step of the way and my thankfulness for her help during all of this cannot be overstated. Thank you so much for everything you have done and continue to do. To those considering attorneys you really should not pass Mellanie Marshall up and you certainly cannot go wrong with her! 5 star rating from me! R. Gross

Attorney Review/Reference We live in Texas and our son is stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California Our son got a dear john from his wife the day after he was deployed to the Middle East and informed that she had filed for divorce and she would be sending the papers. While deployed he w...ould call to speak to his two year old daughter and read her a bedtime story. He had to leave these on voicemail as his calls a world away were not picked up. He returned to a tumultuous household six months later and divorce proceedings were initiated by his wife they had been married approximately a year and a half. He had to hire an attorney and chose Ms. Mellanie Marshall. Divorce is a terrible and damaging event to all parties and especially when children are involved. Ms. Marshall was very patient in dealing with a highly frustrated client. As a member of the military he could be deployed or transferred at any time. This was a concern as a custody issue and was emotionally crushed that he might not be a part of his daughter’s life. M.s Marshall provided my son a realistic scenario of the possible outcomes but also was able to remain a calming influence to her client. She thoroughly researched the parties involved to come up with her game plan. She was interested in what was in the best interest of her client as well as the child. She was able to work with the opposing attorney to reach what would have been a reasonable accommodation to reduce the turmoil in the little girl’s life as well as the divorcing couple. The opposing attorney was unable to get her client to be reasonable with conditions that would allow both parents to be involved with the child. As a result, the opposing attorney was unable to work with her client and removed herself as her representative. In court Ms. Marshall was competent, thorough and I believe more than reasonable. The outcome that Ms. Marshall achieved was fantastic. My son has a custodial arrangement that allows him to be an integral part of his daughters’ life. She took a toxic situation and turned it into lemonade. My son has renewed his spirit and his daughter is happy. She now has an opportunity to interact with other children her age at the on base child development center. If you want a good attorney in dealing with a messy divorce situation you can’t go wrong with Marshall Law (firm). Robert and Donna Austin, Texas.
