Marla Chicotsky

Marla Chicotsky
Partner

Marla is a trial lawyer and seasoned advocate. She has tried over 100 jury trials and has handled countless evidentiary hearings and non-jury trials. Marla has also appeared on FOX News, HLN, and True TV to provide legal commentary on national legal news.

Marla began her career as an Assistant State Attorney for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, in Broward County, Florida, where she prosecuted a wide variety of cases, including driving under the influence, drug related offenses, domestic violence and serious felony charges. After leaving the State Attorney’s Office, Marla went to work for a boutique criminal defense and family law firm. It was there that she found her passion for family law.

Ultimately, Marla founded her own firm to focus on her family law practice. Today, she actively litigates and tries all matters relating to family law, including dissolution of marriages, post dissolution of marriage enforcement matters, post judgment modifications of alimony, child support and timesharing matters, paternity actions, child time sharing issues and temporary and permanent restraining orders. To fully serve her clients, Marla is equally skilled at preparing prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.

Marla believes that a trial lawyer is always ready for trial. With that mindset, she is confident that her clients have the best opportunity for success, whether by way of amicable resolution or favorable court ruling. But still, Marla’s experience has taught her that family law matters present distinct challenges and that clients want a family lawyer to thoughtfully guide them through a uniquely difficult time. To do so, Marla takes a holistic approach to her clients’ needs. She emphasizes regular and open communication, along with a step-by-step approach to provide her clients comfort as she navigates them through the often-unfamiliar world of litigation.

Away from the office, Marla spends time working out, boating, and enjoying the company of her family.
