Made the process bearable

Marlo helped make the entire process of righting a wrong bearable for me. She was always available at a moments notice even though I was long distance. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs strong representation from a very knowledgeable person. I felt very confident of her ability the en...tire time. She is highly intelligent and knew how to best represent me. I recommend her highly, both for her expertise and her character.

Focused and effective

Marlo D Bruch's legal assistance helped me wade through the rheams of legalities and distractions, keeping us focused on completing the task at hand. Had Marlo not been at my side, the matter would have taken months longer, perhaps years, because of all the hullabaloo and emotionally charged distra...ctions the other sides' attorney kept finding to throw out there. I am grateful for her help and counsel. Marlo made sure I was clear on what was happening, what needed to be done moving forward, and choices that must be made to continue. She was fastidious in keeping me up to date, on all the elements of my case, and made sure everything was done quickly and precisely. I would definately recommend her services, her attention to detail and quick response made it very easy to work with her throughout the processes. I will use her services again, if I have need for counsel.

Marlo represented me for UIA Fraud Case

Not only is Marlo a kind person she has exceptional writing skills that served me well during my case. Marlo has well-researched both sides of legalities and submits compelling motions and arguments. Additionally, Marlo represented me with skill and professionalism, I believe her work would, ...not only meet, but exceed your expectations. I was blessed to have her on my side. Many Thank You's

Bad Boss

Marlo was very helpful helping me to decide if I had grounds for my case as well as evidence. She kept me informed of my options and my progress.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2014.

Reprimand issued in MI, 2014

updated on 10/19/2015

Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Marlo’s comment:

“There was a conflict of interest between two clients (2010-2011). I did not withdraw from representation as quickly as I should have. I have a much more strict screening process for conflicts and new clients.”
