Horrible experience. Unethical, unprofessional, deceitful.

Very helpful for both of us.

Marta made the process of getting a divorce so very simple for me and my husband. As a mediator, she prepared our divorce decree in a professional and well organized manner. At my pre-trial hearing, my judge commented on how well done the paperwork was and when I told her it was done by Marta she immediately commented on how she knew everything was going to be in order. By using Marta, I saved money on a lawyer during the filing and the court date.

Good

Marta and her staff with their complete thoroughness were a major plus for my case.
Outstanding professionalism. I would highly recommended her.

Had a great experience with Marta! She is so knowledgeable and helpful at every turn. Would highly recommend!

Marta was great! She made the uncomfortable situation a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. She was compassionate and direct. I would highly recommend her.

When your life can change in an instant, you want a lawyer who is knowledgeable, caring, and who goes above beyond normal expectations to fight for you. That person is Marta J. Papa.

Honesty, Integrity, and Persistence. These three words embody Marta, her work ethic, and her unrelenting pursuit to protect her clients and their best rights/best interests. Marta is extraordinary forthcoming, even if it is not what "you want to hear." She does not equivocate in what she knows is right AND realistic. With over twenty-five years of experience, Marta has proven herself to be an exemplar professional, respected, and family law expert in the St. Louis Region.

Honesty: The legal issue Marta represented me for what was an ugly and complicated situation. Marta fought for me every step of the way, but also kept me grounded by never leading me on or promising things that were just not possible. She will fight for what you want - but she will straight up tell you if you are in the not being being realistic or if certain parts of your case is not strong enough.

Persistence: She kept herself abreast on the most up-to-date laws, which turned out to work out in my favor tremendously. In court, the opposing counsel called into question the legitimacy of a law. The opposing counsel was overruled by the judge once Marta presented the new law/legislation, by literally handing out copies of the statute, leaving the opposing counsel bemused and speechless. Marta does her research, stays current on legislation, and also references legal precedents.

Integrity: At no time was I left in the dark about my case. It was an arduous and complicated process. Marta and her incredible staff immediately contacted me if there were new developments. Marta genuinely cared about me as a person (not just "another client") and the interest of my children. Marta's name was given to me from people I spoke to who were aware of my situation or had gone through similar experiences, once I started to inquire about good family law lawyers in St. Louis. Marta's name was literally on everyone's list.

Bottom Line: Call and set up a time to meet with Marta. If you need serious and professional legal counsel, Marta is unequivocally the best family law attorney you will find.

Marta and her staff represented my case with exceptional professionalism, prudent advice, and realistic expectations from beginning to end. Which ended in my favor, I may add.

Thank you, Marta Papa and staff for your hard work and dedication. My divorce was a very difficult situation for my children and me. The determination of Marta and her team kept my children safe, and I knew what happened to my children was their concern as well. They cared to find out what was top on my list of issues and went right to work to place things in order to accomplish that concern. They not only cared about what happened to my kids, but made sure I was taken care of as well. Her office understands the emotional roller coaster the process of divorce can take on a person, and they were there with a listening ear at all times. Her knowledge and professionalism protected my kids and me, and today we couldn't be happier!

Thanks for all the info on this site, Marta! It is particularly helpful for the directionally impaired like me.
