Marisa Christina San Filippo

Divorce is a difficult and intimidating experience and finding the right attorney to help navigate this territory is important. After interviewing a number of attorneys, I feel very fortunate to have ended up working with Marisa San Filippo! She is young, ambitious, smart, capable and with excell...ent communication skills! Marisa first of all worked with me as a consulting attorney through a long and difficult mediation process. When mediation bogged down, she became my full time attorney. Marisa had a realistic idea of what to expect in a divorce settlement. She understood the difficulties, nuances and personalities of those involved. She paid attention and followed up on complex details. She worked with accountants, understanding their spread sheets, and giving them direction as needed. She was good at presenting alternatives and strategies for negotiation and she helped to move things forward when resolutions were difficult to achieve. It was very helpful that Marisa and her assistants, where readily available by email or phone to answer questions or give guidance. She combined a good mix of empathy, confidence, intellectual sharpness and toughness when needed. Her fees never seemed inflated and she worked dilligently to help me reach a fair and reasonable settlement. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a family law attorney.

On the advice of a partner at a competing firm, it was strongly suggested that I retain Marisa San Filippo in a paternity matter that was potentially challenging. Marisa represented me well beyond my expectations and provided the kind of counsel and guidance one needs and wants, as well as lending a... compassionate and sympathetic ear when that was needed. When picking an attorney, we often want to hire a named partner, but hearing from a peer counselor that Marisa is the one to hire after understanding the situation went a long way to convince me that she was the right lawyer. Add to it the rapid and professional support of her paralegal, and how well they worked as a team with me and the accountants created a calm and professional tone surrounding a matter that could have become highly charged. Marisa's client side manner is one her strongest attributes, that and her almost always switched on communications mode. She listens and reads what you share, and offers feedback in a no nonsense way, explaining the law, the process and the route to the best outcome so its easily understood. As someone who has worked with other very savvy attorneys in business, finding Marisa was a very lucky strike, and without question the best route to have taken. Her briefs and submissions are clear and concise and most of all, able to be comprehended. Her knowledge of case law and current trends only adds to her skills. If you need a family law attorney, look no farther. Marisa won't be an associate for long, as she's got star partner written all around her.
