Marina has been representing me since 2019. She represented me throughout my divorce, as well as child custody issues. She also went to trial with me. I have nothing but good to say about her professionalism and the way she handled and continues to handle my case. She is very realistic and doesn't sugar coat or promise unrealistic things. Anytime that I need to talk to her, she always calls me back right away. Some lawyers tend to be very loud, aggressive, rude and even nasty in court, which irritates most judges. That is not her style. Marina is very respectful and she handles everything with dignity. During court she stays calm, but very firm at the same time. She is good at exposing lies and knows how to ask the right questions to do that. If yo need a lawyer that dedicates her time, helps to address all issues look no further. PS. If you see any bad reviews about her from a non-client, that's my ex. Which again proves that Marina did her job well.

I hired Marina in a difficult case, do not want to share identifiers for fear for retaliation. Marina was not honest about her skills and understanding of dealing with my difficult and manipulative ex. She was willing to just keep litigating and taking my money. She did not fight for what was in the best interest of my kids, and was more interested in collecting money. I did not win my case, and would not recommend calling Marina.

This office just wasn’t the right fit for me. I felt like the focus was more on moving through the process quickly rather than really understanding my concerns and priorities. I was looking for a more thoughtful and attentive approach, especially with something this important. In the end, I decided to work with someone else.

I honestly expected better. The whole experience felt cold and transactional, and I never really felt comfortable asking questions or discussing concerns. Legal situations are stressful enough, and I was hoping for a more supportive and reassuring approach. In the end, I decided to move forward with a different office.

I was hoping for a straightforward and transparent experience, but that wasn’t the case. The billing and fee structure wasn’t clearly explained from the beginning, and as things moved forward, unexpected costs started to appear, which felt frustrating. Clear communication about pricing is extremely important when working with a law office, and in my situation that clarity was lacking. It made it difficult to feel comfortable continuing. Because of this, I decided to stop and look for help elsewhere. I would recommend others make sure all financial details are clearly discussed in advance.

I can’t say I was satisfied with how things went here. The overall experience felt impersonal, and I didn’t get the sense that my case was a priority. There was a lack of clarity around next steps, which made the whole process more stressful than it needed to be. That’s not something you expect when dealing with legal matters. Because of that, I decided to move on and find help elsewhere. I’d suggest others take the time to explore different options before choosing this office.

Not the experience I was expecting. The process felt disorganized, and there was a noticeable lack of structure in how things were handled. I didn’t feel confident that my situation was being managed with the level of care and attention it required. In legal matters, that’s critical. I chose to move on and find representation elsewhere. I’d recommend taking a close look at your options before committing here.

I wasn’t satisfied with my experience here. Communication was unclear, and I didn’t feel confident in the guidance I was given. When dealing with legal matters, trust and professionalism are essential, and unfortunately that was missing for me. I would recommend looking at other options before making a decision.

I really wanted this to work out, but my experience here was disappointing. The biggest issue for me was how long it took to get any meaningful updates — I often felt left in the dark about what was happening. It made an already stressful situation even harder to deal with. In the end, I decided to look for help somewhere else. I think it’s important to feel informed and supported, and I didn’t feel that here.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience made me reconsider. Scheduling and coordination were more difficult than expected — appointments were changed more than once, and it was not always clear what to prepare in advance. This made the process feel unnecessarily complicated and added extra stress. When dealing with legal matters, a smooth and well-organized process is very important, and I did not feel that here. Because of this, I decided to look for legal help elsewhere. I would recommend others pay attention to how well the office handles scheduling and overall organization before making a decision.
