Child Parenting Plan

I recently went through a company called Marble Law. They assigned Tammy and her team as my representation. At first, they seemed very helpful and interested in helping with my case. After providing them all the information within minutes of their requests and receiving no notice of the informatio...n being received, I noticed they were not taking my case seriously. I would call for updates regularly. I would be given updates and timelines that never were met. Maybe it was just poor communication in her firm or maybe it was her team really had no idea what to tell me, so stories were made up to keep me hoping something was going to move forward. When I did call to confront them about what was going on and that the level of communication and unprofessionalism was unacceptable, she immediately sent me an email stating "I understand that you are not pleased with the services you have received from this office. I apologize for the delay and believe it may be best to set you up with another counsel from Marble. You should hear from them soon to arrange for a different counsel to assist you." No explanation on why there was a month-long delay for a simple motion for Contempt of Court to be drawn up and sent for my review, just a sorry and basically I'll pawn you off to Marble and let them deal with it. I strongly do not recommend this attorney or team if you are looking for a responsive and motivated group in any case.

Tammy represented me for 2 years!

I can’t say enough good stuff about Tammy. She took my case when no one else would and helped me and my children finish a ugly divorce in a much better situation. My case drug on for exactly two years.. and at times felt impossible but Tammy was focused and prepared. She sticks to facts and what’s et...hical. I truly believe she helped me and my children be in a position to thrive after such a ugly time in my life. Forever grateful for Tammy.

Highly Recommend Tammy Akers/Colorado Springs CO

I worked with Ms. Akers on a very contentious divorce case where I sold their home and she represented the husband. I was so impressed with her level headedness, her expertise, and quick response to every kink that came along during this process. And, believe me, she had everything thing thrown at ...her and, usually at once! She was extremely accessible, knowledgeable, and "quick on her feet". I highly recommend her services.

Total let down

A year ago my wife and I contacted Tammy for a real estate issue. She gladly accepted our case and we gave her all information regarding our transaction with the home purchase. We filled out all the paperwork and here we are still waiting for any action. She stopped returning phone calls and doesn't ...reply to emails. I got her to reply once and call me back. She apologized and due to the circumstances suggested she return our documents. I understand things slip through the cracks and said if she is still interested we would like to stay with her. She said she would have a letter drafted in 3 days. Here we are 6 months later and she has not returned a single phone call/ email since that day. Incredibly unprofessional. I just want my stuff back so I can hire a real attorney.

Custody Case

I feel absolutely confident in hiring Mrs Akers for legal representation. I look forward to all of her help in the case I am currently in with her. She is very knowledgeable and her Paralegal is very helpful as well. The sense of comfort I have knowing she's running things is amazing.
