Marlys and her staff have been wonderful during the ongoing process of my divorce and custody case. They have been there for me helping me understand and get through this every step of the way. Even after normal office hours and on weekends if I have any problems or major concerns. I would recommend her firm to anyone who has the need for her firms family law services, I don't feel like I'm just another case or a check like some law firms I have spoken with made me feel like, they truly care about what is best for not just me but my children. They made sure I was comfortable and usually they have the answers to my questions even before I ask them. In the beginning of this process I was scared because I had no clue what it was going to be like but Marlys eased those fears in my first consultation and made sure I understood both the good and the bad and for that reason I hired her right away.

Marlys Bergstrom is my attorney for my divorce proceeding. I am very happy with her services. She is always giving me the best advice and she looks out for your best interest. She does not just look for ways to profit out of the situation like most attorneys do. A successful outcome in mine case is her only priority. She is responsive. You can always call her and share your concerns and know she will address them. I am close to settling my case and it is thanks to the commitment of Marlys and her team.

I cannot say enough regarding the professionalism, attention to detail, concern for my best interests and speed at which any all questions were responded to. I highly reccomend Bergstrom and Associates to anyone in need of legal counsel. I worked mainly with Alexandra Morris and could not have been happier. A divorce is an experience no one wants to go through, but Alexandra made sure it went as smooth and easy as possible. She insured that the process never overwhelmed me and always had quick, honest answers to any concern I had. I will undoubtedly be returning to Bergstrom and Associates for any future legal needs including rewriting my will.

Marlys is a very caring, personable and knowledgeable lawyer. She made a terrible situation easy to endure. The divorce was over in 6 months.

Marlys has less than a year experience in family law. I thought she will make up for experience with hard work. She didn't. She failed to do the most basic steps, such as send me the discovery request on time, or complete the affidavit. She responded to formal letters from the other lawer with emails. The cost of these mistakes was extremely harsh temporary order. I had to fire her after a month. She sent me a bill for $2,538 the same day!

Ms. Bergstrom is currently representing me in family court. Although the matter hasn't made it to court yet, I feel confident that she will represent me well. She is very attentive to my needs and she has great communication skills. I also find her rates to be very reasonable.

Lawyers tend to have a negative reputation, but Marlys has shown me that is not always the case. She knows what she is doing, and produces results. She is honest and upfront, no beating around the bush, and completely straightforward. She actually cares about her cases and her clients and I find this to be her most honorable characteristic. She is not just out to make a dollar, she cares about her clients and fights for what is right for them. She stays in constant contact (even during holidays) to keep you informed and proofed her clients with a variety of options regarding their case and gives her opinion, but leaves the choice up to the client and will do what the client wants even if she does not see that it is legally the best move. This just shows how dedicated she is to fighting for her clients, and the care she has for them. I believe she gets emotionally involved in her clients issues and that makes her fight even harder to get the job done. Marlys has been working with me for 3 months on a complicated, VERY complicated child support, custody, and visitation case and has done an excellent job. We still have a lot of motions to file and things to do, but she is on top of things and already has a game plan laid out for what comes in the months ahead. I contacted at least 50 lawyers before I found Marlys, met with many of them for a consultation, but ultimately she is the one we wanted to represent us because after our initial meeting we had confidence in her abilities and felt like she cared about us and the case. Because of the complexity of our case, a lot of the other lawyers we met with didn't want to address all of the issues that needed to be addressed, but Marlys was willing to tackle it all, one step at a time. If you are looking for a lawyer, I can not say enough great things about Marlys. I can tell you that she is completely honest and blunt, and is more focused on her client and winning cases than just seeing it as a way to make money. I never thought I would find a lawyer that I felt comfortable with regarding our case, but out initial instincts after the consultation were right and she has been fighting for us and is continuing to fight for us until we get all the issues in the case resolved. You will not find another lawyer that puts their heart in a case like she does, nor will you find one more honest or dedicated to her clients. She has been a God send for us, and we are thankful for her everyday! She knows what she is doing and how to do it, and I am confident she will give you (other clients) the same attention she gives to us.

Going through so many things at once, Marlys has really just taken a burden off of my shoulders. She has been helpful since day 1. She is very professional and knowledgeable. At the same time, she is right there when you need her. I would not want to be going through a divorce without her on my side.
