Posted by Danniel D | July 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

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.

Posted by Jasmine | July 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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

Thank you Pat we really appreciate it.

Pat and the entire Marrison firm were very helpful during our difficult child custody case. Pat specifically was very helpful and understanding during the process, she answered all our questions, concerns, and numerous phone calls promptly and stayed very professional throughout our ordeal. She also ...gave us a wonderful military discount and was very understanding when it came to paying bills. She had no issues giving us some time to make payments and was very understanding. After almost a year of court etc. we came out on top and with our family together. Thank you Pat we really appreciate it.

KUDOS to the Marrison Law Firm.

The Marrison Law Firm has represented me in an excruciating, ongoing family law matter for over 2 years now. Their legal staff is very consistent with providing professional, thorough, patient, detailed and prompt action as needed. They patiently answer my questions, and I typically have a lot of the...m. I have been so grateful to have an attorney, Pat (and support staff), that is very experienced and still genuinely cares about how my family members lives are affected with the court case issues. There is always careful, efficient, strategic consideration every time we file a motion (and there have been many motions). The other party has been very aggressive and relentless. Pat has remained undaunted, always calm and still ready to win the legal battles at hand. KUDOS to the Marrison Law Firm, my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!
