I’m so glad to say that we’ll have him in a safe

Thank you, thank you, thank you—I cannot express enough thanks to Marrison Family Law for helping us out with our custody issues. We have been trying to get custody of my son from my abusive ex for YEARS, and we have tried our best, but he has done everything he could to keep him away from me. Not ev...en local police could help sometimes (said it was a civil issue, whatever). It was a messy battle for sure, but the firm had our back the whole way and gave us that leverage we needed to get my son finally. I’m so glad to say that we’ll have him in a safe, loving home soon, and we’re so grateful for all the help.

Marrison Family Law went through everything

Great listeners, excellent law firm. They never once made me feel like my case was hopeless even though I was well aware that I didn’t have a lot of ground to stand on in my side of it. Marrison Family Law went through everything with a fine-toothed comb to give me the very best chance in my case. Af...ter listening to me, they did a very thorough investigation. They gave me some very clear-cut options that could go different ways, and it’s helped me decide what I want to happen, adjust my expectations, and all that.

I honestly didn’t think it was possible

What I like about Marrison Family Law because they’re good at handling just about everything. There’s been a lot of dispute over our family properties—and I mean going back decades, there are only some people that don’t know when to stop—and plenty of infighting. There’s also paperwork that we didn’t... know if it did or didn’t exist. Plenty of stuff to be laid out. But the law firm found a way to get it all sorted out. I honestly didn’t think it was possible. I like that they kept me updated on what was going on, too, and didn’t just leave me waiting.

If I could give her ten stars, I would.

I needed help with post-divorce issues involving custody and spousal support. After talking to several lawyers, I got in touch with Catherine. During our first conversation, I felt as if a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. She suggested several approaches to resolve my ex-wife’s and my issues.... In court, she aggressively represented me to help ensure the best possible outcome for my kids. If I could give her ten stars, I would.

She strategized with me and helped negotiate

Divorcing is not a happy event, even if it’s long overdue, as it was in my case. I was afraid and overwhelmed when I first walked into the Marrison Family Law office. Carrie was my rock throughout the whole ordeal. Apart from being a great lawyer, she was compassionate and understanding. Carrie was a...lways quick to reply to my questions. She strategized with me and helped negotiate the best terms for me. I cannot thank her and the rest of the Marrison Family Law team for their help in getting me through such a difficult time.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
