I used Marino for my divorce several years ago, and then foolishly used her for situations that have arisen with my ex over the years. When I first met her I was won over by her forceful personality and promises to protect my interests but I’ve finally had enough of her smoke and mirrors. When it came down to it, she made multiple careless errors because she was either too busy or too distracted to take the time to read and listen and the had the nerve to charge me for her time to fix her errors. It’s bad enough fighting with your ex but then having to concurrently fight with your lawyer, that’s just insane. But maybe what’s even more insane is that I kept going back to her because I didn’t have the time or energy to find another attorney. Beware that her billing is OUT OF CONTROL, she is all about her own wallet. I have many battles ahead but I will never contact her again. However, in the interest of full disclosure and honesty, I will say on the positive side she did originally get me a decent settlement, but in retrospect I see that there were so many things that were either ignored or overlooked.

After being in an abusive marriage with mental and physical abuse over 16 years, I was recommended to use Ms. Marino as a tough advocate. Unfortunately, my ex-husband's attorney was tougher, and I lost financially. She also did not give me proper advice about my marital home. She told me I had to leave, or the sheriff would remove me in 60 days. I consulted for free with another attorney and he said that was not true. I paid highly to find a rental with the 8 dogs my ex did not want, even though he called them his 'beloved dogs'. Would not use her again.

I would not recommend this Debra Marino as your lawyer. Debra tried to scare me with a letter for a another lawyer, when the other lawyer was caught having a affair in his office during normal business office. I would clearly watch out for people like this that will go out and help someone that was wrong from the begin. The proof is out there. This woman has no values

Dont hire debra marino here why 1. This woman cant get her facts correct on her clients. 2. she sends paper to my house trying to scare me from going to court. 3. please see examples of behaviors

I have represented well-over 1,000 people in complex matrimonial, child custody and other domestic disputes. I have tried countless cases and dealt with countless lawyers on the other side, including Deb Marino on several occasions... Most of my well-regarded colleagues have either the talent, experience, knowledge, or personality, disposition, ethics, guts, or perception and sensitivity to understand the client, and relate to the judge, and to opposing counsel in whatever way is most apt to achieve the client's objectives... Very few lawyers can do it all. Attorney Deb Marino is one of the few who can and will. I highly recommend her. Sincerely, Attorney Bob Kolesnik

Only in it for the money.Realizing she actually has to do work retainer will double I'm price.You also Pay 150 just to talk and you get 3.minutes and 55 seconds.Then you talk to her people.

I spoke with Atty Marino this afternoon, and I am at peace, because she will protect , and defend me. She listened and explained all her fees. You get what you pay for…when your life is hanging by a thread, you will want her there. She is an answer to my prayers!

Debra Marino was the absolute best attorney I could have ever asked for. She was extremely knowledgeable and had to lead the other sides attorney that was not very seasoned, she was tough and drafted the plan of action swiftly on my behalf, she had me put restraining orders in place in addition to my protective order granted by the criminal court which helped tremendously. She’s not cheap but you get what you pay for as far as lawyers go. She was very caring and made me feel like she was my friend fighting for me and my children in court, she also has a fabulous office that is a team of caring women who helped make this whole ugly nightmare that much easier. In the end I got everything I wanted and I am so grateful to Attorney Marino!

I hired Deb to handle my divorce after I felt I was getting the run around from my previous attorney. Deb was up front from the beginning in telling me what to expect and she was spot on. She went head to head with my ex wife's attorney and beat her every time I wound up with custody of my daughter and exclusive use of the family home. My ex had to move out and could not come back. When the final settlement came down I got everything i asked for and NO ALIMONY....... Of course my ex wife's attorney was an idiot but Deb was so overpowering i believe she settled because she was afraid to go up against her in the courtroom. Deb is not cheap but worth every penny...I highly recommend her if you have a tricky divorce with many assets like it did Thanks Deb

The other side's attorney seemed so much stronger and more experienced than she did, sadly. Also, I wish she had given me an idea of what to expect in terms of fees. Her retainer did not take me far! Don't be blindsided and explore the issue of fees fully before you pay her anything.

Excellent lawyer. Handled a very complex divorce for me and brought in a forensic accountant to value my husbands business. She got me the most incredible settlement. Did weekly check ins to make sure I was ok. Great staff.

I had the privilege of meeting with and hiring Debra B Marino early this year. Not only is she an amazing attorney but she took the time to comfort me and explain all the nuances that I might encounter during this difficult time and during my trial. MY outcome was amazing and I have since recommended her to several other people, some of whom have hired her. She made an awful period of my life bearable and enabled me to start over again with a good financial outcome. She is top notch.
