He went on to acquire an MBA from the University of Colorado at Denver with an emphasis in change management.

Strategies:

Mr. Márquez is a Colorado native and was raised in a single family home. His personal appreciation for the plight of single parents in family law cases drives him to advocate for clients no matter what, remaining steadfast and conscientious of the issues in each case. Throughout the entire case, Mr. Márquez is efficient and mindful of his clients’ goals and resources.

Mr. Márquez is analytical, organized and compassionate. He is devoted to diversity, family values and most of all, meticulous preparation of his cases at each stage. Preparation requires a careful and empathetic listener with outstanding interpersonal skill at which Mr. Márquez excels.

With tactful persistence, Mr. Márquez aggressively negotiates agreements, where appropriate, improving the situation of his clients and their families. When aggressive negotiation fails, Mr. Márquez is a confident and successful litigator. Mr. Márquez loves the courtroom but recognizes that clients may fare better with a negotiated outcome that they control.

Mr. Márquez believes that the key to success in family law matters is organization, preparation, and intimate familiarity with each case. Often, this includes tough love, management of client expectations, empathy, and a deep understanding of the law.

Mr. Márquez began as an associate and through hard work and dedication, was promoted to senior associate not too long after in his career. He went on to contribute significantly to the firm’s mentor program and pioneered the use of iPads in the Courtroom. His office is almost entirely paperless.
