I hired Marie Lurie in November 2022 and paid a retainer of $4000 and was promised alimony and the house when contacted her for the first time and explained that my husband abandoned me and do not know where is at and that he has been missing for 2 weeks and find out that he filed for divorce behind my back when I received divorce advertisement in my mail box. She refused to help me and explained to me the divorce process but was sending me paper to fill up I didn’t understand as I’m not from this country. Her assistant Matt Geisser is fully incompetent and at time was nasty to me and when contacted him for his wrong doing he got very defensive and lied. Marie took me for a ride until June 2023 when she dropped the ball just before mediation date and decided not to answer my emails regarding what I needed to do for mediation. I have several witnesses and 2 other divorce attorneys I contacted to help me out while I was paying her to do her job and all text and emails to prove it her negligence. She never never kept me updated on any issues or anything regarding my divorce and at time was nasty when I emailed her about my disappointment and then she would call me on phone so it’s not on paper. She made me believe she operated out of an office but find out it was a PO Box at a mall UPS store. She made me drop off my file in a corner parking lot while I had a fever of 104f that’s when I found out she had no office and also told me that we needed to meet to talk about my mediation at a Starbucks shop off 595 but never gave me an actual address. And then disappeared. One week before mediation date I couldn’t get in touch with her via cell or email and her assistant told me that where she is has limited access to wifi ??? I was forced to hire another attorney at this point costing me a retainer of $10,000. After my new attorney requested all paper work and my billing statement, she refused to send anything after several attempts by my second attorney and finally had her assistant do it but no billing statement at all from her. I continued emailing her for my billing statements as per her retainer I signed and was suppose to keep me updated every month like my second attorney did about the spending etc but still no answer. Finally got it 3 month later after several attempts and asking her to refund what was left due to her minimum work and dragging the case for 7 month for a simple divorce with no child to a very surprising unethical letter. I filed with the The Florida Bar to find out that they are protecting her and it went nowhere as per today March 3 2024. She is absolutely the worst and most unethical attorney you will ever come in contact with. I’m taking my case further as After spending over $20,000 of new lawyers fee putting me in a financial difficulties and also other people I see are taking the same steps and having her investigated as well by Florida Bar that probably not going to do anything as they are protecting each other but will go further with that. Beware of this attorney!!! PS : I didnt put the review up until I got an answer from Florida bar which I appealed the first time and second time with no where to go today March 3 2024.

I highly recommend Marie Lurie ! Lurie and her staff guided me every step of the way ensuring that I was always up to date on my case and provided me with peace of mind. She showed empathy towards both parties involved while stressing points of law. Her knowledge of case law is outstanding. Thru the divorce, all emails & phone calls from me were returned within the same day, most within an hour. She is very strategic allowing both parties time to settle their emotions before making decisions. She truly wants what is best for the entire family.... She saved my family, instead of milking me. she fought for my son, and my family. She is amazing.

Marie's a fantastic attorney that helped us through our custody case that had to have modification. She was thoughtful and concise and listen to exactly what we wanted to get and explain to us how to get it through the court orderly agreed on. Assistant that helped guided us through and was readily available when needed. Highly recommend.

Marie was very unprofessional throughout the whole process. She allowed my case to drag on for 2 years all the while billing but never producing any results. She also withdrew from the case before the final hearing, but never offered any type of a refund even though she did not do the job hired for. I would strongly reccomend you take your business anywhere else.

If I could give a rating of more than five stars for the services provided by Marie I would. She is an elite, professional, and consistent attorney. I have and will continue to refer her to anyone who needs dependable representation with substantial results.

TRULY A 5 STAR ATTORNEY!!! THANK YOU MS. LURIE FOR WINNING MY DIVORCE CASE. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME OF MY CASE AND COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT ME. MS. LURIE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL, INTELLIGENT AND AFFORDABLE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MS. LURIE AND HER WONDERFUL ASSISTANT MATT. YOU ARE IN GREAT HANDS!

Marie Lurie is the BEST family attorney! She represented me in court today to fight for a parenting agreement and child support. Marie was on point! She was fully prepared and professional! I was granted everything I asked for by the judge all thanks to Marie’s knowledge and professionalism. Marie and her assistant Matt have stood by me and gave me the confidence I needed to finally put this case behind me. If you are looking for a family law attorney, Marie is the BEST choice to get you the BEST outcome!

I am fortunate to have had the priveledge of Marie's excellent services in mediation, divorce, child support as well as custody hearings. And I can say with out a doubt there is no one else I would dream of recommending. Her passion for her profession is undeniable and evident inside and outside the court room. She is thorough, prepared, and above all else fair. In such a delicate life altering experience Marie is always providing the comfort and confidence needed. If you choose any other attorney you've already lost.

Thank you so much. Marie went far above and beyond to assist me in my legal battle. I was so nervous and scared and she explained everything to me in a way that i could understand. In the end everyone was treated fairly and everyone was happy.

I hired Marie and her assistant Matt on 1-25-16 to handle my divorce. Both Marie and Matt have been excellent and have been there through this very difficult divorce. Marie is very professional, her staff is very friendly and always eager to help. Great customer service and always respond to calls and messages in a timely matter no matter the time. Marie is currently representing me in my divorce case, which has included Domestic violence, time sharing, property and much more. She has been sucessful everytime we have gone to court on all my motions and issue brought in front of the judge. I am overall very pleased and greateful to Marie and her assistant Matt for all the hard work they have put into my case. I recommend them to whomever is in need of someone that will fight for your rights and is very knowledgeable in the family law. Keep up the great work guys!!

Hired Ms. Lurie on a recommendation, after the free consultation I felt like she was the right person and she did not disappoint, she tells it like is, she quotes the law so, you have a true understanding of what to expect. Her office is very accommodating and very attentive. I would recommend her.

Marie, is hands down the best family law attorney in the state !! she looks out for her clients best interest's and will make sure you get a fair deal. I was so happy with the outcome of my case , I hired her a second time for a alimony modification. which she won for me !! she is very fair with her prices esp. for the amount of effort her and her assistant Matt put in on your case . she did such a good job for me even my ex wife recommends her to people.
