Cassandra Thompson
Paralegal
Cassandra Thompson brings a uniquely empathetic foundation to Marshall & Taylor PLLC, blending deep legal experience with a lifelong passion for human connection. Before stepping into the legal world, she studied social sciences at Essex County College with early dreams of becoming a marriage and family therapist or art therapist. Her deep love for psychology allows her to understand the complex emotional dynamics behind every case, ensuring clients feel truly heard, supported, and guided through life’s most challenging transitions.
Having supported family law clients for nearly five years, Cassandra got her start handling high-stakes cases at a boutique firm in New Jersey and continued her journey in North Carolina family law at Cape Fear Family Law. Now at Marshall & Taylor, she balances this profound compassion with a fiercely protective drive, serving as an unwavering advocate for the families she works with to secure the best possible outcomes.
Outside the office, Cassandra recharges her creative and peaceful energy through yoga, reading, and writing poetry. You’ll often find her unwinding at home or out on local adventures with her three beloved dogs: Athena, Poptart, and Rambo.
