Mary Marrison, CO Lawyer | CENSURED

Col­orado. Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

On this date in the Cen­ten­nial State, the Supreme Court of Col­orado cen­sured Mary Patri­cia Mar­ri­son of Col­orado Springs.

Accord­ing to our inves­ti­ga­tion, Mary improp­erly drew a retainer agree­ment in a con­tin­gency fee case in which she charged inter­est on an account with­out an agree­ment allow­ing her to do so. It was also found that she tried to col­lect a con­tin­gent fee after her rep­re­sen­ta­tion was ter­mi­nated. Finally, in the same mat­ter, she was also found to have improp­erly with­drawn from the case. For this mis­con­duct, she received a pri­vate cen­sure, requir­ing her to attend eight hours of con­tin­u­ing legal edu­ca­tion and to go through all of her cur­rent con­tin­gency fee agree­ments with an expe­ri­enced lawyer to deter­mine if they all were in accord with the Col­orado Rules of Pro­fes­sional Con­duct. The pri­vate cen­sure was not pub­lished by the Supreme Court of Colorado.

Have there been any other instances of mis­con­duct by Ms. Mar­ri­son? Have there been com­plaints made to the Col­orado or any other state’s attor­ney dis­ci­pline author­i­ties regard­ing Ms. Marrison?
