The absolute best choice in Family Law in COS!

The entire staff at Marrison Family Law is top notch! Having been a client for 2.5 years during my DV divorce and custody case, I can say with out a doubt that I made the best choice in law firm. You can tell that every client matters to the owner Pat Marrison and the firm. Mark Bosworth and his para...legal Shannon have been nothing short of outstanding through the entire process- and I did not have an easy divorce case. They handled every aspect of the case with professionalism, support and are both extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the process of family law cases. I was awarded full custody of my children and Mark and his team fought to make sure that was the outcome. I cannot recommend them enough! When you are going through a hard situation and need someone strong by your side, Marrison Family Law is the best choice!

Marrison Family Law Saved Me From Catastrophe

A friend referred me to Dominic J. Perrino and told me that he was helping her navigate a contentious adversary who was negatively affecting her children and was causing great distress for her whole family. She told me that Mr. Perrino was compassionate, highly efficient, helped her with the document...ation, and listened carefully to her needs. I had spent several months contacting about 42 divorce lawyers in the Colorado Springs area, but I finally decided to go with Marrison Family Law because of my friend’s recommendation. Mr. Perrino did not disappoint — far from it, and he came up with strategies for me that solved seemingly impossible problems, saved me tens of thousands of dollars, and was able to assist me in negotiating a divorce settlement that made the difference between walking away with enough to start my life over or ending up in a protracted fight and financially catastrophic outcome which is the likely fate I was facing. My paralegal, Rene, has given me appropriate, focused attention, responded quickly and efficiently to every inquiry I’ve made, at the same time that she and my lawyer have worked very hard to keep my fees to a minimum. As a result, I was able to get through this extremely painful and harrowing process in roughly 100 days with competent, caring support. I have full confidence that they are fully invested in my success and truly care about my well-being. A professional staff member at Marrison Family Law answers the phone every single time I have called during business hours. They respond to my e-mail communications usually within the same day or no later than the next business day. They are consistently professional, courteous, and efficient. I am eternally grateful to Dominic, Rene, the support staff, and Ms. Marrison for providing a level of personalized and professional service that I would never have been able to find at a big-name law firm. Also, unlike other practices I have researched, they do not have a policy of intentionally aggravating emotions in order to create conflict between the parties so that they can increase their charges. Quite the opposite, they were completely cooperative to my insistence that I maintain a stance of peace during the divorce process. They made sure that I didn’t incur any unnecessary charges so my total divorce costs were about a third of what I expected — and I am fantastically happy about that. I must also give credit where credit is due; this outcome heavily depended upon the cooperation of the other party to a peaceful process. Everyone has a unique situation and experience with their divorce, so your experience might be different but I highly recommend Marrison Family Law because they are truly focused on my success, are cost-conscientious, and they were able to provide efficient, personalized, creative strategies for problem solving. Finally, and most importantly, I believe that my friend’s referral to Mr. Perrino was Divinely directed. Thanks be to God for His provision, protection, and guidance! Blessings, An eternally grateful client

Good at their job

If you haven’t called Marrison Family Law to settle disputes, you need to get on that phone now. I have seen the ugly side of my family fighting over property like vultures. I wholly encourage you to avoid the stress and hire people who know what they’re doing.

I want to wholeheartedly thank the attorneys

I recommend hiring Marrison Family Law with absolutely no reservations for any domestic violence cases. I want to wholeheartedly thank the attorneys not just for a complete slam-dunk case but also for protecting my daughter and helping to give her a new lease on life now.

Your team is very empathetic and very thorough

Marrison Family Law should be the first call for anyone going through a divorce. Thank you so much Ms. Patricia. I don’t think I can thank you enough for the incredible amount of insight you provided. Your team is very empathetic and very thorough. I felt that the entire team was well-informed about ...my case and able to answer any questions I had. I felt cared for and like I had a fighting chance with your team. Thanks again!
