$ 250-250 per hour
Hello and thank you for viewing my page. I strive to show compassion and kindness to my clients while providing them exceptional legal guidance. I do not do this job in an effort to become wealthy, I do it to try to make a difference in the lives of others. I understand that for my bankruptcy clients, this is often one of the most difficult decisions in their lives. It is also one of the most stressful times in their lives so I try to keep that in mind as I work through the issues with them. Each client is important to me and I make every effort to be sure they know that. If you want a lawyer who isn't as worried about the bill as she is about you, than you can count on me!

Great experience
Attorney Waterstradt was extremely helpful with my BK case. I was very apprehensive and she helped walk me through my concerns. Anytime I had a questions she responded quickly. I would highly recommend Attorney Waterstradt to anyone considering hiring her.

My Wrongful Termination Was Set Right Ms. Waterstradt Saved the Day!
I was referred to Ms. Marianne Waterstradt by an attorney who knows her professionally. She came highly recommended, and in short order I could see why.

Bankruptcy is painful but Ms. Waterstradt makes it bearable.
My husband and I found ourselves in the position of having to file for Bankruptcy. We had a nightmare with a mortgage company who refused to take a mortgage off our credit report despite having the home lost to foreclosure. Although our case was complicated, Ms. Waterstradt was through and walked us...

Competent and Compassionate
While we were discussing my BK options, Marianne protected me by informing me of what I can and can't do with my current money. She made me feel safe when she called the creditors for me to stop the harassment. I was so ashamed to have to file a bankruptcy but Marianne sympathized with me and gave...

Attorney's lack of legal knowledge cost me dearly
I was referred to Marianne by a business associate to handle my bankruptcy filling. I proceeded to wait for over 1 year to file in order to proceed with my filing as per her recommendation. My BK involved the IRS and FTB whom have strict requirements when filing a chapter 7. Marianne advised me of th...
"Marianne is both a fellow lawyer in my Sacramento community and a wonderful friend. I'm endorsing her in the area of commerical litigation which should be broadly construed to include all aspects of civil litigation, including business disputes, employment disputes and bankruptcy issues. Marianne is top notch as an attorney and a person. You will not find a harder-working, more talented or thoughtful counseler in this community. She is an outstanding legal writer and strong advocate for her clients."
"I have worked with Marianne Waterstradt on numerous matters over many years. I am endorsing her in the general area of litigation, which includes all aspects of civil litigation. But I also endorse her work in corporate practice, including business formation and counseling. Marianne is a skilled attorney, and extremely committed to the best interests of her clients. It would be very hard to find an attorney willing to work harder to learn about a client's business or the legal areas surrounding the client's needs. Marianne is one of the most honest and ethical attorneys I have ever worked with -- her intergrity is simply beyond question. I have also referred clients to her for representation in the bankruptcy field. She approaches that area with a unique compassion for the difficult positions her clients confront. I endorse Marianne Waterstradt in all areas of civil practice without hesitation or reservation. She is a truly wonderful attorney and friend."
"Ms. Waterstradt has an excellent reputation in the community. I refer my client who are in need of debt or bankruptcy advice to her."
"Marianne is competent, concise, intelligent, witty and thorough. Her legal knowledge and persuasive verbal and writing skills are excellent. I would recommend her to anyone who required her assistance."
"Marianne and I were colleagues at Downey Brand. She is bright and diligent. She excels at research. She is personable, professional, but compassionate as well. She will quickly put clients at ease."
"I have known Marianne Watterstadt since law school. She is a very intelligent, articulate and well organized attorney. She is more than capable of addressing any issues that are presented to her by a business. If you are a business in need of representation in an employment or transactional matter I would seek Marianne's assistance."
