Marlene Pappas Getchell's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Marlene
Kate Warner headshot
Kate Warner

Estate planning lawyer | Oct 29

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"This is a hybrid endorsement: Marlene saved my parents from proceeding with a disastrous trust with humor and grace, and I have seen her working in the difficult, emotionally draining field of elder abuse law protecting our vulnerable citizens as well. I've been in awe of her insight, skill and patience for years and when we were in the same office building, regularly got to hear first hand from her clients how she re-positioned their lives and families in a way that fostered healthier relationships. She does difficult work in a difficult field with humor and grace."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
