Generous and Courteous

I consulted with Marilyn about a case and found her to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She was very generous with her time and explained the issues to me in plain language without making me feel intimidated. I felt she has my best interests in mind. I am happy to recommend her as a plainti...ff attorney.

Dedicated attorney

My son was a passenger injured in an auto accident. He suffered a fractured jaw. Despite limited insurance and many others injured, marilyn pursued all avenues and obtained a great settlement for him. She is dedicated and an extremely savvy attorney!

Great Advocate

I hired Marilyn after I was struck with a car as a pedestrian in a crosswalk. I sustained considerable injures and needed a good attorney to be my advocate with the insurance company. She had me send her all the medial bills and she saw that they got paid and she negotiated vigorously with the insu...rance company to get me a fair monetary settlement. Despite the pandemic, she was able to provide personal service and I felt that she was a caring person to have on my side.

Avvo Rating

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.
