Posted by Veronica | February 25, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

I'm grateful

I am so grateful to Marrison Family Law for helping me divorce my husband and getting me the spousal support we were hoping for. I was sure that I was't getting a dime from him, but these are some pretty hardcore lawyers who will fight for you and your rights. I' very grateful to them and that they s...eemed to understand where I was coming from. I always got updates, and there was always someone to take my call. Outstanding professionalism and I highly recommend them to everyone who needs a reasonable divorce attorney to help them.

Thankful especially to the staff because they were always ready to take my calls

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to get good lawyers for the divorce process if you feel you have a partner who won’t be easy to deal with. I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad that I’ve consulted with Marrison Family Law and hired their services to help me deal with my soon-to-be ex-wif...e, and if I didn’t have them, I’m pretty sure I’d be left with nothing. Thankful especially to the staff because they were always ready to take my calls and always gave me the heads-up on the updates.

They’re true specialists at what they do

I absolutely 100% recommend these lawyers if you’re going through a divorce and trying to get custody of your child. I wholeheartedly appreciate how they looked so thoroughly into my case, even though they must have a million other divorce cases. I’m glad to have such thorough people helping me get c...ustody of my child because I honestly believe I would not have had as much leverage as I do now without them. They’re true specialists at what they do, and they will fight for you, which I appreciate and am very thankful for. I’m a lot more confident in where I stand now.

Posted by Thalia | May 14, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

I’ve won custody of my kids.

I’ve been fighting for custody of my children for going on three years. Unfortunately, my ex-husband is a man of standing, and he makes more money than I do, so the courts had initially considered him as better for bringing up our kids. But with Marrison Family Law’s help, I’ve won custody of my kids.... They helped me prove that my ex has been mentally and emotionally abusing our kids, controlling them in unreasonable ways, and that he’s not taking an actual active role in parenting them. If anything, his mother is the one raising them, not him! I was able to show that I’ve got a better job now, a bigger home, and most of all, they helped give a voice to my kids who want to stay with me. I recommend them for child custody cases, one hundred percent.

Posted by Tamia | May 06, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

I am wholeheartedly recommending any woman who needs help

I can’t thank the good people at Marrison Family Law enough. I am a domestic violence survivor, and I have been fighting for justice in the hands of my abusive ex for nearly two years now. I just can’t see him get off scot-free and do this to another woman or something. The lawyers helped me ensure t...hat my case was airtight, and most importantly, they kept my head in the game. I can’t tell you how many times I thought my case was going to be useless, hopeless, dismissed due to lack of evidence or all that. No, they helped me handle everything, and they helped me find the strength to overcome it all. They helped me gather up the evidence I needed; they presented my case so well, and most importantly, they gave me a fighting chance where I was sure there was none. I am wholeheartedly recommending any woman who needs help to go to them and give themselves a chance.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
