About

Please see my personal bio and personal story at:  http://www.marilynyork.net/bio_marilyn.php  Marilyn York has over 21 years of exclusive family law experience, unlike many other divorce attorneys who advertise 27 years of experience but hardly any of it is in family law; she passed the California Bar, the Nevada Bar, and the Nevada Certified Family Law Specialist exams on her first attempts. She is always sober (therefore clear headed); quick thinking; and good at math to do marital balance sheets and protect your financial assets.Marilyn is fully dedicated and passionate about Men's Rights and protecting their children; she is fair, honest, powerful and never over works or over charges a case. She is highly respected by the Second Judicial District Court - Family Division and has successfully represented Nevada Judges and Court employees. Many of her other Clients have been Doctors, Lawyers and Policemen. Such clients love Marilyn because she is so tough in Court. You can't beat that.The best family lawyers in the Reno area work for Marilyn long term because she exclusively handles family law cases, specializes in Men's Rights and because the pay and the benefits are the best in the area. This attracts the best Clients and often saves them from bad experiences elsewhere.If you are having serious Marital Disputes, you could benefit greatly by scheduling an Initial Consultation with us for FREE if you hire us the same day; otherwise you pay only $350. You will get sound legal advice, know where you stand and better know what to do next with no commitment.Before you hire a family lawyer, you should insure he or she has the requisite family law experience because many of the local lawyers advertise lots of years of experience ostensiibly as family lawyers and yet we never see them in Family Court. Be wary and don't hire anybody just based on advertising. Get personal referrals from the legal community (family Court) or from others who have experienced divorce.We know family Attorneys -   with serious addictions that diminish their abilities and effectiveness   who love to drag out cases by being unresponsive or ridiculously vicious in their responses   that add fuel to the fire to extend cases and always push for Court   that seem to charge huge sums for not very much work   that appear in Court unprepared and are not respected by the Court

Marilyn, Ilin and the entire staff were extremely easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable and professional in handling a difficult breakup. Their advice was excellent and the outcome was much better than I had hoped to achieve. Simply put, they exceeded both their promise and my expectations. Highly recommend.

Marilyn is sharp and to the point when it comes to legal rights for minors. She does not make reckless promises and always has the good of the child in mind. She will fight with everything she has to assure the innocent child is protected, especially when abuse is suspected. She has watched over my grandson for 5 years and I thank God for her. Yes she is expensive and she earns every penny, what is your children's well being worth? Everything......Marilyn, that is what he is worth.

I was fortunate to have the team of Marilyn York, Esq. and Del Porter, Paralegal as my counsel to win my divorce in 2009. Their independent talents compliment each other for a very efficient and effective team. I engaged them 20 days before trial. This is an extraordinary short period of time to prepare for a case as intense and detailed as this one was. They did a phenomenal job to acquire, organize, and utilize an enormous number of documents. Del Porter is an unusually fast and efficient paralegal with outstanding organization. She is thorough to the extreme with superior intelligence and is highly motivated to win. She became amazingly familiar with my divorce within a short period of time. She knew more about the details of my own divorce than I did and had them organized and ready to provide to Marilyn York during trial preparation. She was enormously productive with the Web and found the most amazing information very quickly. She provided very effective support for Marilyn York allowing her to concentrate on the legal issues of the case. Del Porter, being a woman, understood and could see through my ex-wife (X) immediately. She seemed to know what my X was up to. Ms. Porter anticipated much of the dishonest testimony my X would be giving and dug up from the Web, the documents and other sources supporting facts to disprove my X's testimony. Discrediting my X's testimony was enormous in winning the case. The divorce was very emotional and stressful which diminished my concentration and recall. Ms. Porter had the ability to provide me with very positive encouragement and had the ability to inject some fun and enjoyment into the process reducing a great deal of my stress. She was very valuable in winning this divorce and a pleasure to work with in such a stressful case. I would insist on Del Porter as the paralegal if I should ever have another divorce and highly recommend Del and Marilyn as the divorce team to handle my family or friend's divorces. Very truly yours, Buddy Shaw, Divorced Reno Nevada 4/19/10

I'm just going to put it out there this chick will lie about everything just to get her way okay she gave my child to a openly violent abuser okay not just to me or my kids but also to numerous other people random people proven actively on drugs okay handed a little tiny baby to him and guess what he was in prison in less than 6 months on new charges of violence and I got handed the child. But all that being said this chick lied in court completely and utterly lied and and my side was not able to be heard all she does is give you perks the more you spend money the more show live for you and that's all it is
