Joseph E Marvin

This review reflects my personal opinion, based on my personal experience. Joe Marvin represented me in a custody case a very long time ago (2008-2010). I am now, and I was then, very disappointed across the board. An example would be the final agreement (decree). It was as cookie-cutter as they co...me, with no attention to detail or personal consideration for what I was hoping to achieve. With a less-than-mediocre decree, I have found myself in perpetual conflict with the other party. This could have been prevented all together, had the paperwork been drawn up to reflect our individual needs at the time. In responding to another less-than-stellar Google review, Mr. Marvins office states "Client satisfaction is our #1 priority and we welcome the opportunity to address and resolve your specific concerns." This couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, when I called him recently to "address and resolve" my specific concerns, Mr. Marvin was receptive at first, but ironically was not interested in resolving anything. Trust me, going through a custody proceeding is not easy, but having a lawyer that makes things worse, just makes things worse. Choose wisely!

I was referred to Marvin by another attorney friend. That was a big mistake. He doesn't return emails. Shows up to court and hearings late. His billing is vague. He never followed up on anything. I had to remind him to get paperwork from husband's side. He never ordered appraisal on house. Ne...ver sought temporary child support. Never suggested custody evaluation. He never informed me of the process and other avenues I could pursue. I had to tell him the same information over and over again. I am out a lot of money and have to start over again.
