Greatest Experience, Great Family Attorney

Where do I start... During the initial consultation with Marilyn at her office, she'd already planned her approach for my case based on our initial phone conversation. She'd done her homework and knew the history of my custody battle. That speaks volume about her readiness, attention to details, and... professionalism. She surrounds herself with a team that makes things happen quickly. She delivered above and beyond my expectations in a rather short period of time in my custody case in which justice was finally served for a father for once. I'm very satisfied with the results and I would recommend everyone to consult with Marilyn in any family case before you hire any other attorney.

Great Family Attorney

Great Family Attorney The first day I walked into Marylyn Colon ‘s office I was amazed by her professionalism. She was specific, direct, respectful and I could felt her desire to help. She was also very grounded about her services and I liked that. The two people that referred me to her told me t...hat she was one of the best in town. One of them was a client that was very satisfied with her services many years ago. They presented her as an attorney that has an extensive experience in family law. The first impression left me with a very positive image of Marylyn Colon and that will have a great impact in the process and outcome of my divorce. She was open and available during the whole process and helped me to advocate my case in a lawful way. I like her approach. I can say she also has a qualitative human background that helped me tremendously in the difficult process of the divorce. For me she is a great family attorney, a great law mediator .

Adoption

My stepdad and I have had a father-daughter relationship for as long as I can remember. We finally decided to make it official by doing an adult adoption. That's when we hired Marilyn. Marilyn told us exactly what paperwork we needed to get, and she and her team took the rest care. The process to...ok less than a month and now, I can finally say, father and daughter. This meant a lot to us on an emotional level, and I'm glad Marylin was able to make the proceedings in a fast and flawless fashion.

Bring lots of $$$

I hired Marylin Colon to modify my divorce court order. Unfortunately at the same time my brother was going through a divorce and I recommended Marylin Colon early in the process. My modification was an increase in visitation and a recalculation of child support since one of my kids reached 18 years... of age. The retainer was gone in no time and had to pay another retainer. At the end of the day all I did was overpay and received poor results and service. As for my brother after paying this firm thousands of dollars and running into financial challenges, this firm was unwilling to work out a payment plan and withdrew from his case and did not represent him on his final divorce hearing because he owned money. I felt that this firm cared nothing about my case or future and even less for my brother’s. I regret referring by brother to this firm is more painful than the pain they caused me.

Do Yourself a Favor and Hire Anybody Else

I hired them to represent me in a divorce. Before I hired them I had an in depth conversation with them that I basically needed them primarily to represent me in court. A previous attorney had done most of the filings and motions already but did nothing when we went before the judge. I retained them ...and she proceeded to nickel and dime me for a year and a half to the tune of $20,000. By the time we were supposed to finally go to court, she informs me that my retainer had run out and she was withdrawing from the case. I reminded her this was what I had retained her. She proceeded to recount the facts of "what she had done" for me over the last year. She could not even recount correctly the facts of the case. She had no clue. Facts all twisted. I was in shock! She is only into milking you and she is a pro at it. I had to finish the case with another attorney who was a real professional and finished it at a discount due to a referral of a friend.
