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

I honestly can’t thank the firm enough for all they’ve done

I want to commend the staff at Marrison Family Law for handling my divorce so professionally and so effectively at all times. My now ex-wife is from a privileged upbringing, and she did take out what was practically HER family’s entire law team at me, but Marrison family never let me down for a secon...d. There were occasions when things did become pretty heated across the table, but everyone handled it with outstanding professionalism because god knows, I could barely keep it together myself. It’s all over now, and I honestly can’t thank the firm enough for all they’ve done for me at this end.

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.

She was kind, patient, and professional

When my partner and I made the momentous decision to adopt, we scheduled a consultation at Marrison Family Law. We weren’t sure we needed to hire a lawyer; we just wanted to have a general idea of the process we would be facing. After talking to Patricia, we knew we needed her on our team. She discus...sed our options with us, set our expectations, and guided us through every step of the process. Through it all, she was kind, patient, and professional. She did all she could to make the very emotional and stressful process of adoption easier.

I won't hesitate to recommend Marrison Family Law

The team at Marrison Family Law is just amazing. From the receptionist to the lawyer, everyone was professional and supportive. My situation isn't special, and I'm sure I'm only one of the hundreds if not thousands of people they've helped through a divorce, but not once did they ever make me feel li...ke I was just another case to them. They're caring, detail-oriented, and determined, and they quite simply get things done. I won't hesitate to recommend Marrison Family Law to anyone who needs legal services for a custody or divorce issue. Once again, thank you so much for your help!
