Divorcing a narcissist is extremely hard, especially in a high conflict divorce and when attorneys smell assets and money. Prior to retaining Ms. Niedens, I had worked with 4 attorneys. Unfortunately, I did not feel like I had proper guidance and/or tangible representation with any of them. I felt as I was just a milking cow for all attorneys. I also felt oppressed and that there is no fairness for men in California. My first attorney was horrible and not trustworthy. The second was unable to handle my ex’s attorney who is aggressive and used unethical tactics. The third wanted me to, simply, bend over and give up on everything, and the fourth was too busy with many other cases - nothing was done other than billing me for communicating my ex’s demands. My divorce was lengthy, toxic, and very expensive. Backward 9 years ago, when I initiated my divorce, I contacted numerous law offices including Ms. Niedens office. Even though my intuition and gut instincts were telling me to retain Ms. Niedens, I went with the shiny attorneys who have glowing reviews and prestigious offices thinking they would provide the best legal representation for me. THAT WAS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE I MADE WHICH I WILL ALWAYS REGRET. After years of being milked by the attorneys and my ex with no results, I decided to go with my initial gut feeling…I went back to Ms. Niedens begging her to take my case. After accepting my case, Ms. Niedens developed a legal strategy and explained it to me in a simple way. Shortly thereafter, I started hearing the hits on the big drum. I started seeing results. For the first time in years, I felt that justice and fairness can be accomplished in California. I felt that my best interests and legal rights are being supported and protected. I now realize that justice comes with evidence and the ability of the attorney to know the law and provide zealous representation. During my journey with Ms. Niedens, she acted like a navigator who drove while reading the map. She knew exactly when it was better to take the bus instead of the bike. Now that my case is into closure, I can confidently attest to her skills, knowledge, and expertise. Ms. Niedens is a highly competent attorney, and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable, and very professional. She is sincere, confidant, sharp, truly genuine, fair, and tough. She knows the system very well and is highly respected by the court. I am very impressed with her attention to details, deep knowledge of every detail of my very long case, and her ability to think outside the box. I will always be deeply grateful to her and her team (Mallory and Justine) for the outstanding support they provided and still providing to me. I highly recommend Ms. Niedens and her team. They are the BEST. A five plus stars review is not enough compares to the outstanding results and support they provided to me.

We were in a year long parental rights battle utilizing a different lawyer. After that seemed to go almost nowhere, we consulted with Marsha Niedens and she explained to us all things wrong thus far with our case. We started from scratch utilizing her services and after a lengthy battle, we gained peace in our household. Highly recommended family law attorney.

I filed for divorce by myself and for years attempted to navigate the court system myself through the divorce and subsequent custody battle with the help of the self-help services at the courthouse. Finally after being beyond frustrated with my ex's continued delay and manipulation I hired Marsha to represent me. She not only secured a great custody plan, but came back again this year to keep it in place. She is prompt in her response, always available via phone or email, and so caring. She's wonderful to talk to, she really gets it and her attention to detail is amazing. I truly don't know how I ever tried to deal with all of this on my own. I feel so much better knowing that I have someone that not only knows the language but is also a human who understands the impact of all of this on my children. I won't step in to the courtroom without her again. Don't waste your time thinking that you can handle your case on your own. I lost weeks and months of my life trying to learn the court language and defend myself without the proper representation. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with divorce, custody or child support.

Ms. Niedens's provide the best council i needed when i went through my resent separation and then divorce. She was efficient and her fees were reasonable. In the end she went above and beyond and walked the documents through the court system so they would not get delayed on a judges desk.

After hiring two other attorneys and wasting time and money,A friend recommened MARSHA.After being left desitue .homeless. and liviing in my car wih my horrific divorce. She gave me excellent legal advice leading to me getting back on my feet into my own apartmentShe allowed me to make reasonable payments that where affortable Her knowledge and steadfast advise has lead me out of my darkest hour.I would highly recommend her for your choice as an attorney.Save your time and your money and get the best right from the start.You will be glad you did.

I highly recommend Marsha as an attorney. I had worked with 4 attorneys prior to retaining Marsha. Two attorneys retired and two dropped the ball on my family law issues. Having two young children in a high conflict divorce, I needed an attorney that would be honest with me about what would be resonable expectations for my children. Court at times does not seem fair and I quickly learned that if you leave the courts/judges to make decisions for your family matters, you may not like the outcome. After years of court hearings, custody evaluations, and dealing with a spouse that I could not work with I was dependant on Marsha to represent me and work with my ex spouses attorney. I needed someone to present to me relasistic expectations of what could happen, not what they felt that they wanted to get for me. My divorce was over quickly, however; the custody and co-parenting issues became very problematic. Marsha spoke with me honestly, factually (even if I did not like what she told me) and had the best interest of my children at heart. I did not always like the results of the outcome at times, but that is what happens when you depend on the courts to make decisions about your children. Marsha has always listened to my concerns, offered options, and allowed me to make the final decisions as to how I wanted to procede. She spent many hours of negotiations with my ex spouse's attorney trying to resolve the issues at hand. If my ex would not work with us, we had to go to court. Going to court was costly, but I had to advocate for my children. Negotiations would begin in court again and if no resolution could be made, the issue went in front of the judge, and he would decide what would happen. Family Law is not always a fair place to play. I tried representing myself for about 1 1/2 years, but as the situation worsened, I had to get Marsha back involved. Marsha has helped me and both my children weather through a divorce and tough court custody situations. The situation is finally calming down.
