They have given me the best advice and solution.

The amount of knowledge they have when it comes to family law is amazing. They have given me the best advice and solution to my problem and that's the reason why I am recommending them. I believe that there are still a lot of people whom they can provide professional assistance. If you are going thro...ugh something, you should visit their office.

If you are looking for some of the best attorneys and paralegals who can help you with the situation you are facing, this is definitely the place to be. They are extremely knowledgeable and have a good track record of success. They are the type of people whom you can trust should you need somebody to... represent you for your case.

Thank you so much

Separation happened 3 weeks after we moved from California to Colorado. My ex-husband filed case in Colorado before 3 months of required residency. I was so devastated and didn't know what to do. I contacted the office, and Pat Marrison called me. She advised me that the law would be more favorable t...o me if I divorce in California jurisdiction, urged me to file divorce in California before certain time line, and introduced me attorneys in California. She literally said, "Hang up the phone now, and find an attorney in California ASAP. If that attorney has a question, have her/him call me and I will explain." She was very confident and to the point. Soon I found one in California among her recommendations, and after 6 month (It takes long in California) I came back to a happy single. I'm still surprised when I think of how much the less than five-minute phone conversation affected my life. Even though Pat Marrison didn't take care of my case, I am pretty sure she is the one who truly works for the best benefit of her clients with her vast experiences. Thank you so much, Ms. Pat Marrison

The best move I made for hiring an attorney

I am a divorce active duty Soldier. With most divorces, we cannot agree on anything, and seeing the children has been very challenging. In fact my ex-spouse went as far as to deny me parenting time and ignored conditions outlined in court orders just because she could. That quickly changed once I ret...ained Brenda as my attorney. To be honest, I have to say that retaining her was the best move I made for hiring an attorney. I highly recommended her for any child custody or child support issue you may be facing. I found her to be very professional, straight to the point, extremely knowledgeable, but most of all she proved to be successful in court. Again if you are looking for some to represent you and fight for your case, then Brenda is who you want on your side

The knowledge and professionalism of this TEAM

My experience with Marrison Family Law was in two words "life saving". The knowledge and professionalism of this TEAM is second to none. At 57 years of age I found myself at a cross road I had never expected to face (DIVORCE). While in a devastating fog Mrs. Marrison and her Team supported me through... the process legally and emotionally. I got the best outcome financially that I could have hoped to receive. The compassion and understanding in helping me navigate through the various legal issues was the turning point of my recovery, restoring my dignity, my self image and paving the way to my future.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
