After spending three years going through her own “nasty” divorce, which involved the distribution of a substantial estate and a contentious custody battle, Marie Backes vowed to make it better for others experiencing the traumatic financial and emotional devastation caused by the breakup of the family. Her family law clientele include spouses and partners with substantial estates and parents whose only real asset is their children. The Backes Firm offers client consultations, private mediation, and court representation through trial.
“I know how bad my clients are feeling because I’ve been there,” says Backes. “I do everything possible to zealously represent them, to make things easier during that distressful time.” It was that same overly litigated divorce that led her to change her highly successful “big ticket” civil litigation practice – with a focus on Erin Brockovich-style cases – into an exclusive family law firm.

Ms. Backes established a solid reputation as a formidable trial advocate and sharp negotiator before she turned 35. Unlike most family law or divorce attorneys, she brings with her an impressive background handling large scale civil litigation and private mediations against some of the top San Diego County law firms.

Today she is a well established divorce lawyer who can handle high-conflict and difficult family law issues with uncanny talent and ease. Ms. Backes is talented, tenacious and sensitive. Her firm offers quality service in all areas of divorce and family law.

Backes & Associates serves all of San Diego, including North County, East County, and South County, and is located near the interstate intersection of Interstate 5 & HWY 52 with easy freeway access. Marie Backes volunteers as a Superior Court Pro Tem Settlement Judge in family law cases. She has been practicing law in San Diego for the past 24 years.
