I had the unfortunate luck of retaining Ms. Marino. I talked to her about filing for custody of my 12 year old. When I went in Ms. Marino seemed warm and compassionate. I put her on retainer and it didn't take long for me to regret this decision. While going in for the fifth visit I no longer felt the warmth from her. Instead felt like this woman wasn't connected to the case. She became degrading when talking about people, using slurs. When my fiance asked her to please refrain from using derogatory terms for special needs children when referring to people Ms. Marino floored us by point blank telling us we're free to get another attorney. Then without pause went on talking again. Our case wasn't going well anyway and after talking it over we decided to seek representation elsewhere. Which happy to say our new attorney handled the case professionally and we were satisfied with the results. I have heard nothing but negative words about Ms Marino's ability since and I can see why. I can only imagine the positive reviews were written by Ms. Marino herself as this woman shows no respect for her clients or sadly to say herself for that matter. I could not recommend her, will not and for the sake of anyone do not waste your time and money on her services.
