I will attest Mark Anthony is an outstanding person who I am very pleased to have worked with and have come to consider a friend. I have no doubts Mark Anthony Barrionuevo (and his paralegal Marlea) is a valuable asset to the legal community. I highly recommend Mark Anthony Law if you are in need of legal assistance.

I hired Mark to deal with my divorce, including protection orders, false claims that had been made against me, child custody issues....there was a lot going on and I was lost trying to deal with it all. Mark is good at his job, he knows the law well and he used it to defend me and help me overcome a...ll the obstacles coming at me. He is professional and he saw through the lies and manipulation that my ex was using to try and bury me. He prepared me for what was coming up in court which calmed my nerves about the whole thing. I put my trust in him...hoping he would help me to not only finalize divorce but make sure my kids would be safe, and he did just that. I would recommend him to anyone going through divorce for sure.

I hired Mark Anthony Barrionuevo for a D&N case that was scheduled for trial to get false allegations dismissed. First thing he did was rescheduled the trial out past my child's 18th birthday leaving my case with no leverage, and leaving me not being able to vindicate myself. All he had to say was "w...hoops". I was shocked he made such a careless decision without speaking to me first. I told him to consult with me before making other decisions on my behalf. Next was a meeting where I was fighting to see my child. At that meeting Mark Anthony pulled me outside the meeting room and asked me to offer goodwill to the other side and give them 100% custody of my child, to the very people who pressed false allegations against me. What??!! I said absolutely not! Back in the meeting, instead of advocating visits for me, he told the other side that he honored their feelings and said he wouldn't request visits again. He totally relinquished my visits without ever asking me! I wondered if he was colluding with the other side because he wasn't looking out for my best interest. While on vacation , there wasn't anyone to respond to some matters while he was gone. It seemed like he was giving up my rights at every turn, to negotiate with the other side. He told me he had the right to make decisions on my behalf and if I didn’t' like it, he'd withdraw. There were times he spoke to me with a bullying tone and with arrogance. I asked him to get discovery that wasn't being provided to me and he didn't do it. He tried to get the discovery at the last minute and wasn't able to obtain it. At the end of my case, he didn't pick up the exhibit..said I didn’t need it even though he knew that another attorney would need it. He didn't know about some of the statutes etc and it was evident he never took the time to research them, so I had to explain them to him. Then he used the information I gave him to respond to the other side. He then turned around and charged me for the emails where I had to explain the law or child's rights to him. He's the only attorney I know of that charges his hourly rate for travel to the courthouse, not sure where he travels from, but travel charges are significant. He wasn't at the El Paso County courthouse much, was more in Denver. At first he was considerate of my retainer, but towards the end he begin nickel and diming quite heavily making huge bills. I'm inclined to think that he took my case more for the money instead of wanting to earnestly advocate for me.

I consulted with Mark after viewing the web site videos of his educational and professional background ,as well as reading his reviews and seeing his rating of 7.2 . I was served with a summons of Legal Separation in Denver Colorado as I was leaving on a visit to Texas. An attorney in Texas check ou...t his educational background and ratings on the Colorado Bar web site and recommended Mark to me to check out. Mark contacted me soon after I submitted my info online and consulted with me for a good hour by phone from Texas, concerning my situation as I explained to him that my marriage to my wife should be approached with reconciliation as the primary goal. I did not want a Legal Separation in Colorado as it is a divorce designed to skirt around religious beliefs. Mark represented me with respect for my wishes and respect for the importance I placed on my marriage. Mark was very honest in his opinion to me in my case as he represented me, and honestly listened to my concerns as well as caring. His financial terms were very straight forward , agreeable, easy to understand and he e-mailed at the end of every week so U were always up to date on the balance of Ur account. Mark will place Ur interests before the all mighty dollar attorneys typically seek. Mark is Honest, Compassionate, Pro Marriage/Family attorney with a family he himself places a very high value on. My wife even approves of his style , as we both give him a 10 rating. Our Legal Separation is now in STAY mode for six months as we have entered into an agreement of joint counseling,reconciliation and are once again are enjoying each others company and sharing our love for one another. Thank You Mark Barrionuevo Richard
