Increíble. The best. 100% Professional. thank you

I can only say, with all my heart, thank you very much! I came to see Attorney Marilyn Colon's after having hired two different attorneys who I felt were not representing me to their best extent. On the first visit, I saw how professional attorney Colon was and as well as her team. She was surpris...ed by the situations in my case and I remember her reassuring words; "You are a good father and you will have time that you deserve with your daughter." She took all of my information about my case and started working right away. The first thing she did was send several friendly proposed agreements to the opposing attorney to avoid unnecessary expenses and as to not continue wasting time. This showed me that she was an honest professional and that she did not want to take my case just for the money. She knew the other attorney very well so she organized a great defense for my case. In a matter of days, I began to see results. Her style of work was flawless. We began to defend ourselves from the other party's attacks with great precision. We started to move forward and attorney Jenifer Betancourt took on my case with attorney Colon. I was surprised how she knew all the data, all the background, dates. She advised me well and explained the options to be able to finish my case and thus to not continue generating more expenses. I am really very grateful, she is an impeccable professional and her honesty makes her even greater. Also, I would like to congratulate Noelia, her work as a paralegal was always excellent, she was always informing and works very organized, as well as Yolanda. I am very grateful to the entire team for their hard work and for ensuring that I can spend equal amount of time with my daughter and as well as being able to come to a fair agreement. For those who are starting or are in the process of divorce, I recommend that they retain the services of attorney Marilyn Colon. I really highly recommend this great Family Attorney.

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.

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.
