Due to consistent delays by the defense and the court system, my case has gone on for nearly 10 years. Marni has never wavered in her resolve to support this case and has always been responsive as well as upfront with her opinion on current status of the case. I would trust Marni again and again!

Marni Willenson was my greatest advocate and stood by me for years while handling my CFD case. She was incredibly dedicated, responsive, and always took the time to explain what was happening and what to expect. Her commitment and persistence led to a successful outcome, and I’m deeply grateful for everything she did on my behalf. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Working with Marni during our case was one of the greatest blessings in one of the hardest seasons of my life. She is tenacious, incredibly detailed, and unwavering in her commitment to justice, and she never stopped fighting for us even when the road got difficult. Her leadership and integrity carried our case forward and ensured our voices were heard. I will always be grateful for her and give her my highest recommendation.

Marni Willenson joined our discrimination lawsuit against the Chicago Fire Department. She is persistent, tenacious, and determined. Marni has a wealth of knowledge and a deeply compassionate understanding of right and wrong. She is a fierce fighter against injustice. She is able work with the opposition, but has a spine, and is not a pushover- Marni gets the job done for her clients. 10/10 recommend.

Marni is one of the most formidable people I’ve come across. She is the reason I was given an opportunity to get what I deserved with my current employment. She is not afraid to approach anything presented to her and will give you a fighting chance. Her approach is intricate and thought out. Marni has empathy and compassion, and is one of kind. She will always have a place in mine & my family’s heart. She is a great person— professionally and personally.

Marni Willenson had a profound impact on my life. After more than fifteen years of fighting to be heard and treated fairly, Marni provided steady, unwavering advocacy that ultimately led to full vindication and the ability to move forward and retire with my pension intact, an outcome that once felt out of reach. She is not only a highly skilled, knowledgeable and strategic attorney, but also a deeply principled one. Marni approaches her work with integrity, persistence, and a genuine commitment to justice, particularly for women who have faced long and difficult struggles to have their rights respected. Her work has changed my life and the lives of many, many other women. I will always be grateful for her dedication, integrity, and relentless commitment to her clients. I recommend Marni J. Willenson with the highest respect and gratitude.

Marni is one of the greatest attorneys I’ve ever worked with. The patience she has and the amount of time that she dedicates to your matter is unique compared to how others would treat you. I’m lucky to have been referred to her. She is the best at what she does and needs to be recognized as such
