I met with other attorneys seeking legal representation to obtain full custody of my daughter. They didn't seem professional or as if they would be very devoted to my case or the delicate nuances typically found in custody battles. When I met with Marisa I knew she was the one I wanted representing me because she was extremely professional and confident. She explained several different avenues we could walk through and provided a plan of action that was extremely specific to my situation. When other issues regarding my case came up she made sure to maintain a reasuring demeanor and maintained communication until problems were resolved and went above and beyond at times when dealing with the mother of my child (who was very difficult to deal with). I would and will recommend Marisa to anyone. Thanks to Marisa I now have full custody of my daughter.

Here’s the revised version with that detail included: "As a single father, I hired Marissa to represent me in a custody case, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, I won my case. From day one, she was incredibly organized, ensuring every document was professionally formatted and error-free, especially compared to the opposing side. Marissa’s compassion and understanding made an emotionally challenging process much more manageable. In the courtroom, she was assertive, persuasive, and fought for my case with confidence. She was always available—no matter the time or day—and kept communication clear and consistent. I appreciated her transparency, as she laid out all my options and guided me toward the best strategy to win. I can’t imagine going through such a difficult time without her on my side."

Highly recommend! Marisa Moore Apel successfully represented my interests in a complicated divorce case, exceeding my expectations. Throughout the year-long process, she demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and emotional empathy. Professionalism - Marisa is a great representative in court. She's calm and assertive and developed a good relationship with the opposing attorney and court employees. I was comfortable having her represent me in front of judges. I also thought she was assertive, yet poised with the opposing attorney. Attention to detail - Marisa is highly organized and attentive to details. She had clearly reviewed all the items I submitted and was an attentive listener. She took good notes and was able to reference them when referring to certain topics. When in court, she was able to quickly access items we needed, showing a familiarity with the case that could only have come from studious preparation. Emotional empathy - Marisa immediately put me at ease and made me feel cared about, without overstepping the bounds of the attorney/client relationship. I truly felt that she had listened to and then fought for my interests. Divorce and other family matters can be incredibly difficult and emotional, and my case was no exception. I felt listened to, believed, and cared about in a way that exceeded my expectations. Marisa Moore Apel made the divorce process positive, as a whole. I strongly recommend her and her firm.

Marisa was such a pleasure to work with! She has a calming and assertive personality which was exactly what I needed to get me through my divorce. She guided me through the whole process and answered all my questions.

Marisa was incredibly empathetic, thorough, and explained all my options to me in a way that made sense to me. She genuinely cared about my case and helped me be prepared for the complexities of having a custody case in multiple states. I couldn’t recommend a better, more caring attorney in the area.
