  • "I didn't want to get a divorce, but when faced with it, I knew I needed a good attorney. Colleen and her staff were friendly and honest. They understood it wasn't an easy thing to do and gave fair counsel and answered questions as they came up. I never had to worry about them getting things done. They had my best interest in mind and fought for me and my kids. I wouldn't hesitate to refer others to Colleen, she did a great job with an ugly situation."

  • "Prior to picking a lawyer for my divorce, I had met with two other lawyers before meeting with Colleen Markou. During that first meeting I knew that Colleen was the person that I wanted to represent me. We discussed the background of what lead up to the divorce and she was more interested in my concerns of child custody than going over fees (like the other two lawyers I met with did). It was because of her genuine concern for my best interests and willingness to listen to what I was saying that I hired Colleen that day. Throughout the case, Colleen was respectful, prepared, and prompt especially when trying to get information and edits back from my ex-wife’s attorney. There was more than one occasion where things were stalled and Colleen always found a way to keep moving forward. Colleen did not allow things to drag out and pushed my ex-wife’s attorney for answers on issues that we were trying to resolve, especially around child custody. Colleen is a huge advocate of equal parenting time. The one thing that stands out for me the most about Colleen is that she was personally involved with the case from beginning to end and did not rely on her assistant (who by the way is also excellent) to take notes and edit the documents. Colleen would sit in her office with me and my marked up draft documents and we would get them completed immediately. Colleen Markou is a fantastic lawyer and I highly recommend her to anyone that is unfortunate enough to have to go through a divorce."

  • "Colleen is an amazing lawyer and if it wasn't for her help I would have never gotten to meet my son let alone get my son back when his mother and grandmother ran off with him. She has gone so far above and beyond to make sure my rights aren't stepped on and to help me make sure my son gets to know his father. I can say that any father that needs legal help for custody or FOC matters there simply is not a better option."

  • "Several months ago, I hired Colleen to represent me as I dealt with post divorce issues and parenting time disputes. Colleen and Catie have been exceptional from day one. They have been extremely professional by listening to my concerns, providing exceptional communication, and delivering me counsel to give me peace of mind as we worked through this process. Colleen has represented me in a manner as if she was representing her own family. I have complete trust in her and would recommend her and her team's services to anyone seeking Family Law counsel."

  • "I hired Colleen Markou after my husband hired legal counsel for our divorce in 2019. She was very professional and listened during our consultation. She was very forthcoming and honest. She fought very hard for what was best for me in my marital situation. I believe she is worth every dime and then some. She was very proactive and filed papers when she stated she would. I was very satisfied with her services and the others in her office."

  • "When I had to fire my first lawyer for not having my best interests in my case I had zero faith in the legal system or a lawyer. I went to Colleen and she was like a breath of fresh air. She tells me the truth about my case and what I should do even when it's not what I want to hear. She is accessible when I call or she calls me back, instead of the last firm where all the advice I got was sent to me through the legal assistant. She bills me honestly and fairly for her time. She displays thorough knowledge of all areas of child custody/divorce. She is aggressive in the court room and does not back down to shady lawyers. One of the things I really liked about her is that she would try to resolve things before going to court when possible, instead of pushing for court to bill extra time like other lawyers do. My court case was a tough one with an ex who retained a shady lawyer and takes me to court constantly. Colleen has fought against them agressively and saved me thousands of dollars by not allowing frivilous items to go to court. I have recommended Colleen to friends of mine because I believe she is the best lawyer in the area and they too have been happy with her representation."

  • "Colleen is an up front and honest attorney that takes her job seriously and professionally, while making you feel comfortable discussing uncomfortable situations and or circumstances. If your looking for a "no bull" attorney that doesn't play games just to take more of your money than I highly suggest Colleen."
