Calm, reassuring help with my divorce

Marrison Law helped me though my divorce. My situation was not very contentious but did involve dividing up a martial business and sizable property and investments. Patricia Marrison explained the issues in advance that I would need to deal with, and her advice in the area of spousal support was pa...rticularly excellent. The end result was a very satisfactory and fair outcome. I appreciated the demeanor of Attorney Marrison who was a calm, reassuring voice guiding me during the stress of a divorce. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend.

My case began January 2014; and officially concluded December 2016. During this period, the Marrison Family Law Firm has assisted me through a slew of situations. My case was a high conflict and highly contested case. The law firm helped me to obtain parental responsibilities; establish child support...; navigate through a parental rights evaluation; and overcome a motion of contempt against me. Concerning my background, I am an active duty military member; father; and I was never married to child's mother. There are many father's that truly believe they are disadvantaged in the court room. The Marrison Family Law Firm helped me to stray away from such beliefs; and have helped me in achieving the life I have always desired with my now three year old daughter. Overall, the Marrison Family Law firm truly fought for the what is in the best interest of my daughter. I am forever grateful to their dedication; and attention to detail in my case. I highly recommend anyone going through a custodial situation to consider the Marrison Family Law Firm. For you as the client, just be ready to have realistic expectations.

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

Pat's willingness to fight for me

My (now ex) husband is a real piece of work. Everything he did during the divorce was downright cruel, and it felt like he was only trying to hurt me. Enter Pat Marrison. Pat was the fighter I couldn't be. When I hired her I felt like I finally was in the ring, I finally had someone on MY side. She f...ought back harder than everything he and his lawyers threw at me and in the end, I got exactly what I wanted and I never again have to endure the pain of him treating me like I'm a lesser human being. I can't recommend Marrison Law enough, I don't know what my life would look like without their exceptional legal expertise and Pat's willingness to fight for me.
