Excellent Family Law Attorney

Mr. Marx is passionate about meeting his client's needs and makes time to review cases and prepare for trial dates very thoroughly. He presents himself well and with great confidence. I have had Mr. Marx represent me with my family law and child custody case for several years and have ultimately been... satisfied with the outcome time and time again. It is clear that even in the often convoluted world of family law, Mr. Marx truly cares about the needs of the children involved and seeking fairness for all parties, while still putting his client's goal in high regard.

Thoughtful and Thorough

Mr Marx was very thoughtful with sensitive to issues regarding my case. He dedicated his continuing education time to expanding his knowledge in areas that would aide in my representation. Mr Marx was very thorough in establishing my case. He provided me with multiple options, providing his best a...dvise and professional insight. He went above and beyond to research, investigate and seek specialist resources in preparing my case. He was a strong advocate for me and my family, as well as , instrumental in providing relief in the outcome of my case. He will continue to be my adviser for legal matters. I highly recommend Mr Marx for Family Law.

review my lawyer

Mr. Marx got me through an ugly divorce. Settled with a fair and equitable disbursement of property and finances that didn't leave me homeless and broke. He went to court with me well organized and prepared. I can't thank him enough.

Business lawyer | Nov 10

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer, because he is a very hardworking, knowledgeable, honest, and a skilled trial attorney. I had a three day trial with Brandon Marx, and was impressed with his ability in a courtroom, his compassion for his client, and his no nonsense attitude. Perhaps most importantly, is the fact that you can rely on what Brandon tells you. He is a pleasure to work with, and I have and will continue to refer individuals to him."

General practice lawyer | Nov 03

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've worked on the same and opposing sides on numerous cases with Brandon over the years. He's smart, tenacious and creative. When we are on opposite sides, my experience is that he is enthusiastic about trying to resolve our differences quickly and inexpensively. In a small town you learn a lot about the other attorneys. I hear that Brandon is reasonable in his billing, and that his clients like what he does for them. He has a loyal following of clients, and this speaks well for his providing good service. We bounce ideas off each other routinely, and I can tell that he keeps abreast of changes in the law. He consistently comes up with ideas on how to expand the protections available to his clients. As I said, we practice in the same town. So, naturally, I don't want Brandon to get ALL of the interesting cases. But occasionally I can't take on a project when approached -- because of a conflict, or because I am swamped. I do not hesitate to refer people to Brandon."
