Marissa Olsson

Marissa is compassionate, composed, driven, communicative, and insanely smart. She was incredibly caring for a lawyer (as was her paralegal-the biggest sweetheart), which I didn’t even realize at the time because she was the first lawyer I had ever had. If you don’t feel like she is caring, you’ve ju...st never had a lawyer. She was extremely patient with me. I was in an especially angry phase of everything, send overwhelmed with stress, and I was objectively difficult to work with. Marissa took initiative like no other. She negotiated well, she did things efficiently, and she was persistent, consistent, and resolute. I honestly think she has the best set of traits possible for a lawyer. You’d be lucky to have her. If this is your first time having a lawyer, know that the best ones have a personality that might seem cold on the surface, but it usually means they mean business! “Clients usually expect advocacy and emotional support, but lawyers often focus more on strategy, procedure, and the law than on empathy.” Look up what are actual red flags v your own inflated expectations!

Marissa represented me after I was a pedestrian hit in a crosswalk by a mini van. She wanted to settle fast, and, I did not feel like she had my best interests at heart. For a comparison, she also represented a former boss of mine that was in an accident significantly less traumatic (just a rea...r-ending) and, his case was still pending several years later with her. I am now experiencing severe pain and have to deal with not being able to anything about because she just wanted a quick paycheck. If you want compassion and a great attorney, look elsewhere...
