Thankful especially to the staff because they were always ready to take my calls

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to get good lawyers for the divorce process if you feel you have a partner who won’t be easy to deal with. I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad that I’ve consulted with Marrison Family Law and hired their services to help me deal with my soon-to-be ex-wif...e, and if I didn’t have them, I’m pretty sure I’d be left with nothing. Thankful especially to the staff because they were always ready to take my calls and always gave me the heads-up on the updates.

I honestly didn’t think it was possible

What I like about Marrison Family Law because they’re good at handling just about everything. There’s been a lot of dispute over our family properties—and I mean going back decades, there are only some people that don’t know when to stop—and plenty of infighting. There’s also paperwork that we didn’t... know if it did or didn’t exist. Plenty of stuff to be laid out. But the law firm found a way to get it all sorted out. I honestly didn’t think it was possible. I like that they kept me updated on what was going on, too, and didn’t just leave me waiting.

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.

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.

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

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.
