How you choose an attorney to represent you in your legal proceedings is a deeply personal decision given the highly emotional impact and legal responsibilities surrounding marital dissolution or challenges with custody. Your decision may hinge not only on the reputation of the firm, but your confidence in the attorney, as well as their level of professionalism, expertise, and most of all, availability.

“Divorce doesn’t bring out the best in people, but I found in working with Russell that he not only knew all the laws, but was very helpful and assured me when I was feeling uncomfortable. I cannot say enough positive things about him as I contacted him whenever I needed him, and he represented me in a manner that I felt comfortable.” ~ Rose Laudisio

The legal industry has long been marred by the mismanagement of clients. Due to the intricacies of family and matrimonial law proceedings, our firm believes in working 1:1 with clients to ensure successful management of the entire process, with direct client support from start to finish. Also unique to Marnell LAW Group is our cross-industry expertise, not only within business and law, but finance as well.

A savvy attorney’s job, for example, includes locating all hidden assets or debts to determine which should be included in divorce proceedings and which ones should not. This knowledge base becomes invaluable in complex divorce proceedings where forensic accounting, business analysis and review of short and long-term financial investments must be completed. And, as a boutique New York-based law firm, we’re nimble and maintain strategic partnerships with trusted professionals to ensure that our clients gain the support required to successfully conclude all negotiations.

With combined internal bench strength and thorough preparation, our firm has successfully litigated more than 200 trials involving complex custody, equitable distribution, and child support and maintenance issues.

“Something that Russell shared with me when handling my divorce and personalities were clashing, was to look at the situation as if two people were dissolving a business. By removing the emotional element, you can focus more on what needs to be done in order to move forward. ” ~ Michael Gennaro
