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!

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.

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.

We ended up with what I feel is something fair for both her and me

Thank you, Marrison Family Law! It has been three long years, but we finally received justice. My ex-wife tried everything she can to get every cent off me (including money meant for our kids!), and for a while there, I thought she might get it. But the attorneys made sure that my kids’ interests and... mine were very well protected. We ended up with what I feel is something fair for both her and me, and I get custody of the children. And I just hope that with that, we can put this all behind us.

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.

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.
