Cynthia Griffin was amazing, she joined my case half way through the court process. She picked up my case genuinely caring for me and my case as if she was involved from the beginning and she took the time to get to know me and my case . She was very knowledgeable, professional and respectful in every encounter via email, phone or text... I would definitely recommend her to my family, friends or any1 having to hire an attorney for any family related issue. She was great and amazing, 8 out of 5 stars. Exceeded my expectations. Thank you Cynthia for helping me and my family get our lives back into order.Jamie and family! πŸ™πŸ’œπŸ’™

Cynthia Griffin and Jordan Moore(paralegal) were awesome. Very prompt, professional and knowledgeable. Cynthia came into my case half way through and took the time to understand my case and us as a family and what we wanted and needed. She is great at her job.My only regret and no fault to family law was hat we didnt hire Cynthia from the get go. I would truly recommend Cynthia and Jordan to all my family, friends any any1 looking for a quality attorney to deal with the unfortunate family issues they may be having.

I contacted Modern Family Law and was able to have Mrs. Cynthia Griffin as my attorney. I can say enough how thankful I and my family are that she represented me. She is truly a professional lawyer and will take the time to look through your case. She is very dedicated to her clients. Thank you so much!!!!!!

Clyde Zamir was our attorney and he was awesome! He helped build the foundation for our case and we are forever grateful to him for everything he did to help us and the kids. He was professional, knowledgeable, empathetic, and trustworthy. He showed this with his actions and not just his words and we could tell he truly cared and was passionate about what he does. You never want to be in a situation to need an attorney, but I’m glad we found him.If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

I’ve had the fortunate pleasure of working with Nick T. Nick showed an inordinate amount of professionalism, compassion, and offering of advice. I am so thankful I had Nick in my corner. I wouldn’t be where I am without Nick.Nick and his paralegals are wonderful. Nick is excellent in informing me of any and all proposals by the opposing counsel. Nick explains what the outcomes would be for accepting or not accepting the proposal and the consequences so I can make an informed decision. Jordan, his paralegal, keeps me up to date on all written correspondence.I feel I have the Best of the Best with Nick and Jordan.It just dawned on me while I was reviewing my invoice that I had a zero balance due. In my past experiences the billing I had received from other companies I never had a zero balance. This just proved to me yet again how honest. Trustworthy and professional Nick T and his team are. As painful, heartbreaking and gut wrenching my divorce was Nick and his team kept me informed, protected, and they were always available which made the entire process easier to go thru. I strongly recommend Nick and his team.

The worst experience ever. We spent over 20k and spoke to the lawyer 2 times. He did absolutely nothing to help my case. He delayed everything which ended up costing me more money in the long run with child support. My lawyer also randomly quit, and they told me he retired and wasn’t a lawyer anymore so while I was calling around to find a new one I found the office he was at now. Absolutely no communication, but they sure are quick to withdraw money for doing nothing.

I am currently going through a custody case that ar first did not seem all too complicated. I thought we would have had more success with my son’s custody case. This is in no way due to Modern Family Law of Denver lack of effort. In fact the people at MFL took my case in good faith/not with out a cost though and represented me and my sons case to what I felt as best as they could. Thanks to Donald McClellan fine counsel we were ultimately able to lay the foundation to the road that leads to me being able to be a contributing Parent in my sons life.Thanks again Modern Family Law.A hopeful Parent and caring Coloradan.

Review β„–14

I worked with Nick for find jurisdiction during my child custody case; we had to establish jurisdiction before going forward. It took him nearly 30+ hours of doing tasks I did not approve to determine Colorado did not have jurisdiction. My ex wife informed me her lawyer only charged her for less that 10 hours. My NC lawyer (who I’ve been working with for 4x the amount I worked with Nick and modern family) has only charged me for 15 hours and he got my divorce/child custody taken care of. My exes NC lawyer is about the same as my NC lawyer. It’s questionable as to what modern family did to rack up my bill when 3 other lawyers that did equal or far more work.I partially reviewed my bill and questioned some odd charges. Like when does it take 30 mins to forward a client one email? It’s illegal to charge for financial conversations yet they’re on my bill and I informed them it’s illegal to charge me for that. So, I asked to speak nick to figure out why my bill is so high. He is refuses to speak to me. I asked to speak to a supervisor but no one has called me. They’re now threatening to take me to collections if I don’t pay but we’ve yet to resolve.Modern family is the shady Law firm you’ve always dreaded working with. It’s unfortunate because nick seemed like a good lawyer that knew his stuff but he also knew how to rack up my bill before Colorado lost jurisdiction doing tasks that were absolutely meaningless.Update:I have set up a monthly payment plan to pay my remaining balance to avoid my debt going to collections as they’ve threatened me many times with. I have made my payments and kept in good Finacial standing with MFL. I then informed modern family law I would be submitting a complaint against them to the state regarding misconduct, and I have. They then informed me that if I did that, they would β€œtake that as I don’t have any intentions to pay my debt to them and send my debt to collections” then not honoring our agreement. I said β€œno I’ll continue to make my agreed upon payments while we go through this process to avoid collections”. She replied β€œI don’t even know if they’ll accept your payments anymore”. Implying if I go forward, they will not honor our agreement. Ladies and gents, that is a THREAT/ BLACKMAIL and I did include that to my misconduct complaint with them to the Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. Don’t let this company bully you.

My case has yet to end, but I wanted to give an updated review for modern family law and Mr. Nicholas Tootalian specifically anyway. From the very beginning I was impressed and reassured by the staff of modern family law with any and all of my concerns. They have continued to be amazing through this process. Including a financial problem that needed resolved immediately. It was handled swiftly and with kindness and professionalism.While going through this process I have also had the pleasure of working with Jordan, a paralegal. She has been prompt, kind and respectful as well. Any question I have had has been answered in a timely manner and she has made me feel welcome to ask any other questions and discuss any other concerns. No matter now little.If you need a lawyer that hears your every concern, gives good information, gives honest opinions and has everyones best interests in mind then Nick is the one for you! He has been more than words can describe in the most positive ways. He is confident, respectful, kind, and trustworthy. There are so many more good things to be said about Mr. Tootalian, but I will save that for my final review when my case is finally over.Thank you so much to everyone at Modern Family Law, especially Nick. I dont know what I would have done without you all!

Donny McClellan was absolutely amazing, he represented me in a custody battle against my ex husband that was involved over three different states. He kept me up to date with everything I needed to know on my case without over communicating so my bills werent crazy high (although my ex did his best to ruin that). He was fabulous in court and fought every single curve ball they tried to throw at us with ease. I won my case because of him and got everything I wanted and couldve ever asked for to keep my son safe. I wouldnt ever recommend anyone else over Donny. He was kind and so easy to work with and always available.

I had a great experience with Donny and would definitely recommend. Very professional and knowledgable, he truly just wanted to help me fight for what is right. Even before making a final decision on an attorney, I was given a free video consultation that provided me with crucial information about my rights moving forward and confidence that Donny and his team would be able to help me in my divorce case and help fight for the best interests of my child in the custody case.

We chose Modern Family for a second parent adoption and we worked with an awesome team, but our attorney was Jennifer Garcia.The process was long and the navigation through COVID at the finalization of our case provided some unique challenges. Our team met them with great scrappiness and efficiency though.Our case had a couple hiccups, but they handled them promptly and professionally.Our adoption finalized yesterday, and we couldnt be more thankful for the help from Modern Family.

Throughout the entire process, there was no one more professional, understanding, and hard working than Karlee. While she acknowledged the extreme difficulty and personal aspects of the process, she had the ability to take the emotion out and help me make the right decisions. Karlee, her team, and the entire firm have your back and you can trust them to fight for you. If you have to use a law firm for the tough things in life - trust Modern Family Law.

This law firm was an absolute joke to work with I spent over $20,000 and absolutely got ran over the coals. They have sneaky billing tricks and lawyers are non responsive. During my time of being represented with them I spoke to Courtland Williams two times in total. The second time I was supposed to meet him at the office upon arrival there he then notified me he was going to be unable to make it to our meeting substituted his paralegal Sarah Duff. Sarah did seem to care quite a bit about the case I do know that there’s nothing really she could’ve done because Courtland decided to quit the office right when my case was about to reach some sort of resolve. If you are in need of a good lawyer I would definitely do your research before excepting this lawyer team onto your case. I was represented by this firm for a little over four months during that time not one attorney is the same.

We hired Donny McClellan, with Modern Family Law, to fight a difficult custody battle. Donny was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better attorney or a better outcome.

Motion for Contempt not filed over medical concerns for an autistic child because of the other lawyer Brewer and this firm being scared. Now, I have to find a lawyer who is willing to fight. Brewer does not scare me.Fyi this law firm made an agreement with a CFI, cfi denys it. Now, this law firm used my debt card without my permission, used up 3k in 2 weeks to use up the last of a retainer to ensure I was not able to hire another attorney.I would love to know when the CEO is available to discuss this 3k invoice and pick up my check due to the agreement mishandle by your lawyer on staff

Very helpful through out the whole process. Getting a good repetitiveness is a big step in the stride of building a better life with you family. Every one here makes you feel like they are on you side and they only want the best for you. Its going to be costly, but it worth it to know you have the security.

Without getting into too much detail, they are dishonest and not only coaxed me into staying with them when I was going to relieve them as my representation, they also waiting a month to actually file the paperwork for me to fire them when I did end up telling them I didnt want them on my case any longer. All the while still charging me for things that I didnt approve of. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. They are shady.

Absolutely no personalization.Way overpriced.Had 5 lawyers bill about $2,500 just to enter appearance, file a motion, and then pay to them to withdrawal.Paid almost 5000 to get some papers filed in a covid time where there was Zero in person meetings.Has taken over 60 days to receive retainer deposit. Missed child support while waiting on a retainer refund.If you have millions, and dont care about personalization or efforts to mediate then this is the team for you.

Our children have suffered greatly from a history of uncaring and unprofessional attorneys. We have been subjected to 7 years of emotionally overwhelming litigation. I had little faith in attorneys until I met Clyde Zamir. Clyde Zamir has been a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed high on impossible. Not only is he able to defend us from an unjust accusation, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about the most. Our children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Clyde Zamir without reservation. If I could give more stars I would.

The prices are not very affordable as the name would imply. I called to get rates on mediation and the minimum hourly cost is average for my area and the minimum retainer for services is $2,500. The woman I spoke to on the phone was not very helpful in giving me pricing information and hung up on me somewhat rudely when I let her know I was not interested in services. I recommend going with a smaller firm as they are likely to be more personable and have more competitive pricing.

Jennifer Garcia is a very compassionate dedicated attorney who went above and beyond to help me fight battles on multiple fronts and did so in stride. I unfortunately have had to deal with multiple family law attorneys and Ms. Garcia and her staff are very professional dedicated and take your case personally and treat you like family. Better then my prior experiences by far. I would recommend Ms.Garcia to any fathers fighting to be just that a dad. Fathers rights are important to Ms.Garcia and she will fight to ensue your rights are and stay intact. I would use her again most definitely if and when I can if needed. A+ attorney!

I had nothing less than a great experience from the second I had a phone consultation with Nick Tootalian! He was knowledgeable and personable. I didn’t feel as though I was β€œjust another client”. He related to me and my case and made talking about things so easy and comfortable. I never felt brushed off or neglected. I had a different attorney at a different firm years back for the same issues and it was an awful experience. So, naturally, I was hesitant, thinking this situation wouldn’t be any different. I am very happy with my decision to work with Nick. He fought for me and made sure I was good with all of the decisions made throughout the whole process. He genuinely cared about the outcome of my case and I am so grateful for everything he was able to do for me. I would definitely recommend Nick to anyone! From the staff at the front desk to Sarah Duff, his paralegal, Modern Family law was a great experience all around!

Both are very knowledgeable of the law, professional, and caring about their clients. The hard work they put in to helping fathers or anyone with family related needs. I could have asked for a better team of lawyers to have help me with my case. They are determined to get you what you want and what you’re child/children need.

You could save yourself a lot of time and money and just give your soon-to-be ex everything they want! This firm misrepresented me, failed to meet filing deadlines, lied about how much this was going to cost. They told me at most $12k when I originally called, then proceeded to bill me $40,000 before we ever even got to the final orders hearing. It was a bait and switch. The attorney that represented me during the temporary orders hearing was so unprepared that the judge gave the other side MORE than they were even asking for and then proceeded to chastise me for missing filing deadlines, even though I didnt know my attorney hadnt done it. Then for the last year an attorney at this firm has been looking into it, promising to make it right, but never following up when she said she would. Obviously a delaying tactic to keep me from leaving reviews like this. Please, please, stay away from this firm. They make a bad situation worse.

Review β„–51

I retained this law firm in November of 2017. At the start of my case, my attorney was fairly helpful and answered a lot of my questions. Attorneys use the retainer that is provided to the firm to use towards attorneys fees and court costs and filing documents with the courts. towards the end of my retainer this firm became very difficult to get answers from and would often take 3-4 days to answer an email. On top of that, I was thankful to have had family to help me with my retainer, I had a family member call in with my initial retainer so i could retain services. Well in the end, this firm charged my family member with a substantial amount of money when they never had permission to charge after the initial retainer was placed. They work with the client directly and keep the clients debit/credit card on file to re fill retainer when needed. This firm charged a family member for over $800 without permission placing that family member into financial turmoil. They were not willing to refund that money to that person as its all about money and they didnt care how they got it or what it may have done to someone else. There name is Modern Family Law, Key words Modern Family, Most modern familys need help and comfort, this firm was not easy to deal with. After my Mediation it was very hard to get a response from the attorney hired in regards to anything. Even opposing council stated that it was hard to get a response. At the end, it was all about money to this firm and they really hurt a family member in the process. I would highly recommend looking elsewhere or at least do your research before hiring this firm as your counsel.

I dont where to start! All I have to say is this, if you want a Lawyer that wants the best for you and will protect you and your child through a divorce...Jennifer Garcia is the one that you will want and need. Jennifer has been there for me and my son through this entire process and is absolutely amazing. She knows so much and I promise she has your back and interest. I am in a middle of a custody case with my son and she has been there for me whenever I needed her. I absolutely love this firm and I could not of ask for a better lawyer. She has been there for me this entire time and not once turned her back us. Like I said, Jennifer Garcia and the law firm of Modern Family Law is all you will ever need.Thanks,Mike.

I had a wonderful experience with my lawyer, who was hired by another firm and then hired mid- prep by Family Law pc Denver. Our court dates extended unexpectedly and needed to continue w/the lawyer I was prepped for the hearing. He was hired by this firm. They did not state clearly their billing practice or then have any swift prudence in fixing the situation. They have aggressively charged me for things that weren’t agreed upon and when trying to contact them to correct their mistake, did not respond with any honest or timely self correction . I would head a warning when dealing with this practice.

Review β„–62

Attorney knew the game and knew what he was doing, but absolutely not worth the money. I always felt like Jay had my back, but was more of a billing opportunity. I was over 10 grand for a drafted patenting plan and some financials. When I had difficulty paying the 1500$ bi-weekly statements, I never get a response from the attorney or thebilling specialist, they just drafted my account. I had a minimum 2 hours a week for email communication with opposing counsel and when I brought that up, a month later they said there was an error and the emails didnt take that long and credited me back two hours. A four way conference was me sitting in the meeting room by myself while he talked to my opposing counsel and the other party.All in all, Im out an absurd amount of money for a copy and pasted parenting plan with minor adjustments. I didnt even go to court! I didnt know who my judge was or anything! Ive had my new attorney for two weeks and I feel like he got more done in that time than what took this attorney 6 weeks. I would recommend this attorney if you want to put up your retirement to pay for it, or simply spend your life savings in a matter of months. These things arent free, I get that, but this firm (at least Jay Cranmer) is 100% not worth the money.

I have not personally been a client but my family and I were going through a tough separation. I knew nothing about divorce or all the legalities. A family friend referred me to all the great literature that Johnson Marquez has online. Ive listened to all their podcast and read a lot on their blog and feel like I got a better understanding of what actions to take. Dave and all the attorneys there speak about the law in a way that anyone can understand. Even if you do not need their immediate services, I would definitely check out their free resources.-David F.

I would not recommend this firm unless you enjoy giving your money and trust to unempathetic people. This firm claims they are caring and do the right kind of thing culture but they do not care about their clients at all, it’s one of those companies that say they do but their actions speak way against that. I had major problems with this firm which who had almost withdrew two weeks prior to my divorce date, on top of that they leaked my personal phone number and address to my ex spouse who was physically abusive to me which I told all of my information would have been confidential. They accidentally leaked that to my spouse. When I originally confronted my attorney David Collins that I noticed my information was given on some documents provided to my spouse his response what that oh well at least it was my old address ( since I did move) I recently informed their manager as well that my attorney did leak my information with no response from them. No apology no nothing. They don’t care about clients, this is of the many many things I had to deal with this firm. Unstable, non caring people. Stay away.

Long version:I hired Modern Family Law towards the end of my case.. like right at the end.. we literally only had one more court hearing, for the final orders, and it was supposed to be over with. Basically I paid my retainer fee, signed the paperwork, and we had to appear in court 4 days later. If you’re wondering why I even needed to hire an attorney this close to the end, I just did- and that’s another long story on its own. Any way. My lawyer, Grant, was unavailable for the court hearing, so the paralegal showed up to represent me. She didn’t realize it was supposed to be a final order and thought it was just a check-in. Well, my ex and his attorney didn’t show up at all, so my paralegal requested a continuous since we came unprepared as well. That’s probably the root of my bitterness. Since my ex and I couldn’t agree on part of the parenting plan, we decided to take it to trial. The court gave us a month to prepare. My ex didn’t do any thing he was supposed to and was somehow granted another continuous. What I’m most upset about though, is that another 2 months go by and a week before our trial, my attorney calls me to let me know that my ex will be getting a new attorney cause his current one doesn’t β€˜do trials’ but his new attorney will be out of the country and they asked for another continuous. My attorney told me that he doesn’t think we should allow that and is going to deny their request. Come to find out, it gets granted- and on the court order it specifically states that my attorney showed up to the court house, on a different matter, and let them know we will be seeking a continuous. I felt super betrayed because there was no communication that that was even a thought. My attorney then tried to call me and let me know my ex’s new attorney thinks he can get him to agree on everything and it won’t go to trial. Another month later and more money being drained from my account, my ex finally agreed to the terms. Then, my attorney went to a new firm and I was assigned a new attorney, who was nice enough to give me a $500 credit for the β€˜inconvenience’ but of course found a way to completely drain me of that, too, all within a 2 week period.. When I looked at my charge statement, I got charged for an hour, stating I met up with her to go over the final orders and sign them, when in fact, I told her I was going to print all the papers and sign them with a notary instead. All I did was drop off the papers to her . When I reached out to billing I got no response. Then, I was supposed to get my retainer fee within 30 days. I’ve been waiting...It’s been about 20 days and all of a sudden, today, I just got charged with a random $13 filing fee and then a side note saying β€˜I bet you’re wondering about your refund’.. and then it goes over all the refund terms. The one that stuck out to me was that β€˜I have to have 2 weeks of inactivity before I get my refund back’.. what the f???? My attorney already withdrew from my case and it’s been more then 2 weeks of inactivity so why am I still getting charged?? I will be even more upset if I have to wait another 30 days because of this charge today.I just don’t recommend this firm...Short version:Pro’s:I won my caseCon’s:-I literally just paid thousands of dollars for them to talk to my ex’s lawyer the whole time-They mistakenly with-drawl money from your account... I’m talking $500...-They bill you for e v e r y thing. I stopped taking their calls at one point.. but you’ll still get charged even if you don’t answer

My brother was going through a rough divorce. A friend recommended Johnson MΓ‘rquez legal group. They truly helped him through this process, in the end he felt that they took care of him as if he was a family member and couldnt be more grateful for the recommendation. Thank you Dave for everything you did through this tough time.

Jason Marquez is a great lawyer. He is professional, very well informed and knowledgeable about rights and extremely motivated and organized. He made me feel extremely confident and relaxed through the process. I feel that Jason truly made it difficult experience a lot easier and I highly recommend him.

Once I had walked in to the firm I had felt welcome. I will not go thru any other family firm. They make you feel welcome even though your going through a bad time in life. Dave Collins was my lawyer and I will say this, that family law isnt for every lawyer out there because its a tough road to choose just because its the emotional ties that they try not to make but, they kind of have to in order to get all the details that are involved in the case. I love this firm and will always go back if I ever need a question asked or just to go say thanks for guilding me through the ugly part of being a single parent.

After going through my first divorce and having a terrible experience with my attorney (who shall remain nameless), I was referred to Johnson Marquez from a close friend. I could go on and on about my positive experience with this firm. They CRUSHED all my doubts and concerns and made me feel like I was their only client. They also set realistic expectations of what I was to get out of the divorce and I left feeling very happy. These guys will definitely have your back! :)

I worked primarily with Sergei Thomas on my case which included civil family law complicated by criminal charges. He was an ardent advocate for me and my son, a consummate professional and a kind, honest person. He was easily accessible, quick to respond and downright fantastic. If you find yourself needing a family lawyer, call him - I cant recommend highly enough. Additionally he has a depth of knowledge about addiction and abuse that other lawyers I spoke with could not grasp - perhaps from his years serving as a DA in Jeffco. The firm and all of its staff are also wonderful to work with.

Review β„–89

Wow!!! Since there is no option to respond to the owners response, I had to update my original post. Please scroll down for my original post.My original post recommended you avoid this law firm based on the quality of their service and flagrant overbilling. I have now changed that recommendation.... avoid this law firm at all cost because they are dangerous and reckless.The owner of this Law Firm, Chris McTaggart, just revealed the identity of my ex-wife in a pathetic attempt to defend his law firm. This disagreement is between Modern Family Law and myself. We are divorced for a reason, but this arrogant jackhole had no right to make it easy for someone to figure out who she is, where she works, etc..... Chris McTaggart had no right to reveal the identity of my ex-wife on a public forum for the whole world to see. The internet is written in ink, not pencil. In addition, that could lead to someone discovering the identity of my children.This is beyond reckless.... yet, somehow, it just seems par for the course with this firm. Deny, pass blame and, now reveal personal information that could lead to a dangerous situstion for my ex-wife and children.If you read any of the negative posts on this review board, Chris starts off with what seems to be a sincere apology and then quickly explains how its the fault of the individual and not his law firm. This is exactly the type of behavior, in addition to the ridiculous overbilling, that Im talking about. I think Chris McTaggart just proved everything that Im posting about his law firm.In addition, his proclamation of my emails to his staff, is just another lie from this law firm. I corresponded with one individual in his law firm and... the last email this individual sent me was as follows and I quote thank you for your kind words, Brian. I wish you nothing but the best going forward. You going to jump back on here and lie about that too, Chris?I am truly in shock that Chris McTaggert would willingly reveal the information he has revealed with total disregard to the potential repercussions. Seems like a case of doxxing. Wow, wow. Just, wow.Original post:If you are a father, avoid this law firm at all cost. They charged me almost twice the agreed upon amount for ONE hearing. At this hearing my lawyer (David Collins) arrived looking haggard and hungover. He actually fell asleep at our table while I was on the stand! He would continually engage my ex-wife in 30-45 minute phone conversations that went no where and did nothing for my case.... and promptly added these calls to my bill.My initial meeting was a dog and pony show where two lawyers openly brainstormed all the reasons they could be beneficial to my case and followed through on none of them in my hearing. They took the concept of over promising and under delivering to a brand new level.David Collins as unprepared and completely outmatched in that court room. He continued to object to something the judge overruled in the 1st thirty seconds of our hearing, while whispering to me that he was setting me up for an appeal. The judges frustration with him was palpable.Modern Family Law cares only about billing you, not helping you. I simply couldnt be less pleased with my experience.

Johnson Marquez SAVED ME from my living nightmare! I was in a horrible physically abusive relationship and did not see a way out. It took me a while to seek help and guidance. I felt like Jason and everyone at Johnson Marquez understood what I was going through and they knew EXACTLY what to do. Because of their help I am a much stronger and confident person! If I had to go through this again, I would without a doubt have them in my corner.

I really just had some very basic questions and was referred to Whitney by a friend. I appreciated her caring demeanor, personal attention and communication - always ensuring I had the answers I was looking for, but more for questions I hadnt thought of myself. She was a gem to get to know and work with.

Jason Marquez is a highly intelligent attorney. He communicates extremely well, and his strategies are winning. Whenever I need solid advise on anything to do with the law, I turn to Jason. He was lead council on my divorce and we ended up with a fair judgment. I would recommend Jason to anyone and have. Most attorneys promise the moon, but never deliver. Jason delivers. My name is Mike Dobbs and I will gladly take reference calls on Johnson Marquez.Mike Dobbs

Theyre not kidding when they say going through a divorces is a nightmare! People make sure you do your research! I was on my last straw with how many different offices gave me the cold shoulder because of my financial status at the time. I got in touch with Johnson Marquez, and spoke with a Heather, and man did she know what shes talking about. She was so direct and realistic about what I should expect in the outcome.

When my ex took my daughter out of the state without telling me, I was angry. But I didnt know where to begin to get her back. I contacted Erika Gebhardt and after a long battle across a couple of states, I finally have her back. With a court order to divide the time we spend with her, I feel like Im back in control of my life. I couldnt have done it without Erika. Thank you!

The website for this legal group popped up in Google, so I gave them a call with my question thats been haunting me. I was expecting a you need to schedule an appointment or an empty answer with a now we need money but was thoroughly shocked at how much they cared to help me figure out my situation. They went above and beyond my expectations without expecting anything from me. I truly appreciate the help. Thank you for setting me free from this dilemma of mine! After this mess, I have a piece of advice for all who read this. Do NOT move in with your mate until you are legally married. The end! :-DThank you again for your help, guys
