Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed help with my divorce process. After bad experience with a different law office, I got a recommendation for "Marathon Law Group". I scheduled a consultation with Mr. Boris and after a conversation with him, I already knew I made the right decision. He was very clear,detailed, and helpful. The paralegal that was assigned to me was Susanna, and I don't have enough words to explain how kind and patient she was with me. My case was not the easiest one, and she was walking me through it step by step. They resolved my issue in a very short time. Every time I had a question and reached out to the office over the phone, they were responsive and determined to help me, no matter who answered the phone. I will be forever grateful, and I wish them the best of luck in the future!!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired Mr. Avramski for a child custody matter out of Clark County and there aren't enough good words I can say about Mr. Avramski and Marathon Law Group. Everyone involved in this firm, including Mr. Avramski himself, are terrific people who are extremely passionate about the job they do. I have the upmost respect for Mr. Avramski as he not only exceeded my expectations when hiring him for my case, but he made it apparent to go the extra mile to ensure the best case outcome for me. I could not be more thankful to Mr. Avramski and his wonderful staff and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone that requires his services.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Knowledgeable, professional, helpful, informative, honest.... I could go on! Don't go with a cheap attorney like I did..... It ended up costing me tens of thousands instead of going with an attorney who really knows how stuff.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am more than grateful and pleased with the results I received with Kristina Kirigin!! I highly highly recommend this attorney after carefully reviewing several attorneys in nevada! My choice was left between her and Joe riccio before learning that they actually worked together. I was in a highly contested custody battle in between 2 different states with another very aggressive attorney representing my ex. I found Kristina Kirigin after having to fire my last attorney and she was able to turn my entire case around that was originally going in my ex's favor due to his constant lies. We went to trial and prevailed with me getting primary physical custody, final say with legal custody, no travel and attorneys fees!! She made my ex tell the truth which broke his entire case. She also worked out a payment plan with me during the process. Kristina Kirigin and her paralegals are life savers! They were all very quick with responses to each email, text or call I made.
