Marvin Law Office, L.L.C.

EDIT 2023: This review reflects my personal opinion, based on my personal experience. Making this edit because even 13 years later I still have negative feelings about how my custody case was handled. There a couple of things that were not addressed in my case that only created conflict for the past 13 years between myself and the other parent . One example is that there was no clause that determined which parent would claim the child as a dependent on their taxes. Had the original custody order been more thorough, perhaps it would have alleviated the constant arguments that came during tax time. Joe Marvin took a cookie cutter approach to my case and did not consider how a 5-2-2-5 would affect our family. This particular time sharing set-up is what many lawyers and judges will want to default to, but it DOES NOT WORK for everyone (if anyone). It was a major detriment to the upbringing of my child. Save yourself the anguish that I went through and find yourself a family law attorney who will not set you up for failure. I spent all of my life savings to hire Joe and could not afford to retain another attorney to modify my custody agreement. In response to my original review, Mavin law office writes “It is always our goal to provide each client with the best representation possible. Mr. Marvin indicated you needed to go through mediation prior to re-opening your case with the Court. You were unwilling to follow through with his free advice.” This is NOT TRUE. To my above point, had the original order been thorough there would be no need to go to mediation, would there? Also Mr. Marvin also stated that he would not help me at all unless I removed this review. (end of edit 2023)
