"Marlene has defended me Twice... First time was on a Restraining order with false witnesses and i walked out of that courtroom as my prosecutors are receiving the worst tongue lashing i have ever heard from a Judge. It was beautiful and we walked out laughing at these people. Since Marlene did such an outstanding job, I hired her for a civil lawsuit defense it took almost two years to force the plaintiff into bankruptcy. Due to the type of litigation I was defending myself with the plaintiff is now facing criminal charges for perjury in Bankruptcy court. Marlene E Kern is the Best lawyer i have ever used and she is worth every dollar !!!! Marlene Kern is the Top Gun Maverick of the legal system WOWmarleneWOW!!!!" Jake S. San Diego Ca
"Marlene represented me in child custody matter where my ex was alleging I was unfit to be a father and tried to limit my custody- demanding only supervised visits! I wanted 50/50 custody. Because of my ex's outrageous allegations, I was very concerned about getting custody. Marlene never wavered- everything she said would happen actually happened, and I ended up defending against the baseless allegations and getting awarded the 50/50 custody I wanted. She also taught me how to deal with a narcissist in court (which characteristics my ex certainly displayed) and how to interact with her regarding co-parenting. She was upfront and fair about her bills too. All in all, very pleased with Marlene."
Scott H., San Clemente, Ca.

It is important to plan a case before filing your matter, or motion. There are many steps to be taken in a Divorce or Child Custody matter and having a well thought out litigation plan is crucial!
