Marilynne "Mal" Ryan was a Godsend. I was going through a horrific divorce and needed someone that was going to be able to help me navigate through one of the most darkest and chaotic times of my life. Like an answer to a prayer, she handled my case incredibly efficiently, effectively and with consummate professionalism, getting me the best results. If you are going through this nasty process, and need someone who is experienced, and can get the job done right the first time, then go no further than Mal and her team. They are simply the best.

Attorney Kathryn Schwartz: Fortunately after using 2 other divorce attorneys, I finally found Kathryn Schwartz to help settle a long drawn out post-divorce child custody case. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner! During our initial meeting, she was extremely sharp and quickly got up to speed on the complex issues I was facing. I knew right away that I would be in good hands with Attorney Schwartz. She is compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable and aggressive (when she needs to be). She definitely knows how to think out of the box and is extremely quick on her feet. I also greatly appreciated Kathryn's responsiveness as she was always able to answer my questions in a timely manner. We developed our strategy from the onset, and she was able to accomplish my goal of doing what was in the best interest of my children. I would highly recommend her to anyone going through difficult divorce situations! Thanks Kathryn

I highly recommend this law firm. Mal Ryan handled my divorce in 2008 and did a great job. This year Kara helped settle a dispute with my ex regarding payment of spousal support. I believe they keep costs to a minimum and are worth every penny.

Kara did a great job in understanding my case and achieving resolution that was better than anticipated. The staff was professional and caring throughout the entire process.

Mal Ryan is an extraordinary attorney and exactly the person you want to guide you through the financially complex and emotionally loaded territory associated with divorce. She helps her client determine the best realistic outcome and she keeps her eye on that result throughout the process. It doesn't get any better than Mal.

Divorce was the hardest thing I have ever experienced. Ryan Faenza Carey (Mal Ryan and Jennifer Liddell) and their team of professionals helped me through the process and got me to the other side. The Collaborative Process kept us working as a team and focused on the benefit of the kids

Mrs. Ryan is a underhanded, untruthful attorney. If she is involved in any part of your divorce she will make sure she causes fights to run up the bill until your out of money. You will need to appeal decisions made by the courts if she’s involved. She has the judge approve ad litem’s and psychiatrist, all that comes out of marital assets and gets taken from your children, they say they only care about the kids? They don’t care at all. Appeal decisions! The judges and attorneys are all in it together. They can’t make it anyplace else besides taking someone’s pain and turning it up.

I have to respectfully disagree with the previous review. This firm and especially Mal Ryan was extremely professional, knowledgeable, approachable and available. Mal (et. al) looked out for my best interests every step of the way through the difficult journey of divorce. I highly recommend this firm and would turn to them again in a heartbeat if needed.
