Hired Attorney Marlene Sanborn

I became acquainted with Marlene through a business group of which we are both members. In this group I was very impressed with Marlene, her honesty, and her sincerity. When it became time to update our trust, we turned to Marlene. Marlene drafted a trust for our family, and we couldn't be happier with her professionalism and responsiveness. Marlene created a great product for us at a competitive price. I also became acquainted fwith several of Marlene's litigation clients. These clients had nothing but high praise for Marlene's aggressiveness and the results that she produced. I would highly recommend Marlene to anyone.

Hired Attorney Marlene Sanborn

Marlene Sanborn provided us with a Family Trust, Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, and Advanced Health Care Directives - everything we wanted exactly as we wanted it - and our copies came in a handy binder with explanations of what to do in case we need to make changes in the future. She explained the most complex legal issues simply so we came away not only with the documents we wanted but a more complete understanding of everything involved in estate planning.

Hired Attorney Marlene Sanborn

I filed a complaint with the CA State Bar for the following reasons: non compliance with the court’s filing deadline, failure to disclose all the material facts, unauthorized work and fraud. I retained Ms. Sanborn for the following tasks: 1.) submit a Petition for Probate, 2.) attend the court hearing. Her retainer was $5000.00 dollars. She submitted the Petition one day before the hearing contrary to probate rules—at least 5 days prior to a hearing. The hearing was scheduled months into the future. Meanwhile, Ms. Sanborn stated that I needed to consider either litigation, ADR or an evidentiary hearing. I declined each option because my petition had not been read. Without my knowledge or consent, she made extensive preparations for an evidentiary hearing. I declined to pay for unauthorized work. She retained the $5,000.00, stating that she was due the additional funds, sent an IRS W2 form insisting I must complete. I neither paid for unauthorized work nor completed a W2.

Hired Attorney Marlene Sanborn

One Star: Poor I hired Ms. Sanborn and furnished a $5,000.00 retainer as requested. Her task was to submit a probate petition and attend the court hearing. At the hearing the judge asked her where the petition was because he wanted to read it. Her reply: “It was submitted yesterday.” The judge continued the hearing date three months hence. Meanwhile, Ms. Sanborn stated that I needed to consider either litigation, ADR or an evidentiary hearing. I declined on the fact that my petition had not been read. Nonetheless, without my knowledge or consent, she made extensive preparations for an evidentiary hearing. Furthermore, she: 1.) padded the bill for the initial task, thereby retaining the $5000.00 retainer and 2.) charged me for the additional, unauthorized work. I declined to pay additional funds. She declared that the debt would be forgiven, sent an IRS W2 form, indicating that if I did not comply, I would be penalized by the IRS. I did not comply and was deemed dishonorable.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
