I highly recommend working with Dawn if you need a professional and knowledgeable attorney. She cares about her clients and navigates the process quickly.

McMorrow Law is one of the best firms to work with! This is our second time utilizing their services and we have been beyond impressed. Their entire team is top notch! You won't be disappointed with their service!

Amazing attention to detail and clear communication! I was represented by Sadie Marak in the case of my divorce which took over two years to process. Sadie demonstrated a thorough understanding of the law and made the right choices through a lot of twists and turns; knowing when to compromise and when to hold her ground. Sadie never gave me the impression that she had other priorities, although I'm sure she had many clients and cases. Each time I had questions, concerns, or feedback I was able to reach Sadie by phone, email, or text within a matter of days which I really appreciated. In the end, I was very satisfied with how the case resolved and would absolutely recommend her for representation.

I have been waiting more than two years to write this review. Waiting, until my divorce was final, and I felt I could finally speak for myself. In all fairness I want to say immediately I have heard nothing but good things about Ms. McMorrow. This review directly relates to Sadie Marak and her representation of my ex-husband from August 2022 until August 2024. Divorce is emotional, contentious and adversarial, given such I realize I am not a neutral party. However, I don’t believe the process should be compounded by a lawyer who prolongs the process, lies, belittles, shames or makes it personal. Early on my ex-husband and I decided to proceed with mediation to minimize legal fees. After meeting Ms. Marak to discuss our decision, she talked him out of it. Similarly, after I discovered a substantial discrepancy in his income I made him a fair offer, between us, which would cost him less in the long run. After meeting with Ms. Marak, he declined my offer, and I was forced to take him to court to file for modification. In the end it cost him more. Ms. Marak exaggerated everyday situations in my marriage stating we took lavish vacations (to the Outer Banks???) to agreements my husband and I had absolutely made about me staying home with my children. Stating I refused to seek employment. After staying home with my kids for 22 years she had the audacity to claim my husband was the primary caregiver to my children. A neat trick considering travel was a requirement of his employment. She continued to present insulting settlement offers prolonging the process adding legal fees even after a conciliation in which the hearing officer gave her recommendations three times the amount of Ms. Marak’s offer. Finally, Ms. Marak consistently denied, and at times mocked my diagnosis of major depressive disorder (backed up with medical records) something I found so egregious it’s beyond the pale. Divorce is already a painful complicated process. While I absolutely agree a lawyer’s job is to fight for their client they can do so ethically while respecting all parties involved and moving the process along smoothly. I believe Sadie thinks she is fighting for her clients instead she is extremely reactive, as I witnessed first-hand. In the end I received exactly what the hearing officer recommended although Sadie decided to wait until we had a hearing scheduled and on that very day asked if we could discuss a settlement. She allowed the legal fees to pile up until the very end. I’m not suggesting you not go with this firm but if you want to get through this quickly without having to defend yourself against all the BS I would read the reviews on Ms. McMorrow and make your own decision.

I retained McMorrow Law to help with the conclusion of my divorce. Attorney Sadie Marak assisted me with my case and went above and beyond. She was thorough, thoughtful, and compassionate. She saw the obstacles that I was facing and provided me with sound advice and expert legal help. Since concluding my divorce, Attorney Marak has also assisted me in other legal issues, including defending a PFA against my ex-husband. Her team, including Attorney Antonio Paris, were incredibly supportive and helped me to achieve peace of mind. When you have someone in your corner like this, you never forget it. If you need help with family/divorce matters, Sadie, Antonio, and the entire team at McMorrow Law are your best bet!! A sincere THANK YOU to this team!!!

John is absolutely incredible, biggest regret is not finding him years ago. Thank you John.

Wonderful experience with Mcmorrow law. The entire team was hands on at all times ensuring that our family had the best outcomes. Throughout the anxieties court can bring I always felt in good hands knowing Brooke was handling everything!

Requesting the courts as grandparents for permission be allowed to intervene is a difficult legal road. Requesting full legal custody takes this to a new level. It is painful and exhausting. John’s expertise in keeping firm focus, ability to separate the detail in importance of fact versus fluff, his ability in concise detail and how this is articulated to the decision makers is stand alone. Close to twenty (20) plus years of documentation and keeping this Grandma in check was no easy task. John accepted this challenge. Each time we have gone into court confident that we were prepared and our attorney was knowledgeable on the laws and would navigate as required. John sincerely had our granddaughter’s best interest at heart. He was gentle and sincerely kind to a traumatized 8 year old. I do not believe many can say they trust their attorney however we do. We recommend John at every level of family conciliation and family court. His READINESS, RESPONSE and his RESULT need no introduction. Forever grateful.

John is amazing. He was very professional and understanding. I have already recommended him to a friend and I'd don't again. Thank you John and your office for all of your help.

My biggest regret is that I did not have John representing me from the beginning of my custody case. John encompassed everything you would expect from an extraordinary lawyer and represented me to the greatest of expectations. He was clear and concise with advising me, and his communication was excellent. He was very responsive and strategic in handling any situation that arose from my case. He was truly invested into my case and brought results that I could not get from anyone else. Highly recommend attorney John M. Schaffranek!

I highly recommend Dawn as a family lawyer. She is honest, direct, and incredibly collaborative. Throughout my experience, she consistently aimed to achieve the best outcome for everyone involved. Her willingness to work with all parties to find optimal solutions created a sense of security in the midst of processes that can feel really out-of-control. If you need a family lawyer who is willing to be honest with you about likely outcomes so that you do not waste time and money, but is also willing to fight hard for things that you are deserving of, Dawn is the one to choose.

Dawn walked me through a very difficult divorce and custody situation. Her knowledge and expertise combined with her desire to do what is truly in the best interest of the child involved made a very scary process much easier. I have recommended her firm to several friends and family members who have all been equally happy with their experiences with Dawn.
