Joseph Ditlow
Associate Attorney - On long term military orders
A native Coloradan, Joseph (Jad) was born and raised in Boulder where he attended Fairview High School. In 2001, he graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in History. Jad started his Air Force career at Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Oklahoma. While there, he attended flight school and found himself working in the Judge Advocate Office as a Legal Assistance Clerk. He immediately fell in love with the law.
In 2003, Jad moved to the Boston, Massachusetts to work for the Air Force as a Systems Program Manager. He also started law school at the New England School of Law (NESL). During his second year at NESL, Jad was transferred to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to work as an Operations Commander for Air Force Recruiting. He also transferred to Marquette School of Law where he interned for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and was inducted into Alpha Sigma Nu (Jesuit Honor Society). In May 2009, Jad was admitted to practice law in Wisconsin. In November 2009, Joseph was admitted to the Colorado bar.
In February 2010, Jad transferred to the Air Force Reserves and simultaneously became a Deputy District Attorney for the 9th Judicial District Attorney’s Office in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Jad went into private practice in 2012 where he engaged in family law, criminal defense, dependency and neglect defense, and municipal prosecution. He has practiced, primarily, family lawyer in Colorado Springs, CO since 2012 and has developed a passion for the practice.
Jad is active in El Paso County’s legal community. He is on the Community Justice Center’s board of directors, a mentor attorney for Teen Court, and regularly assists clients at local clinics. Jad loves the outdoors; and, in his free time, is frequently found with his family on the many hiking and ski trails Colorado has to offer.
As a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force Reserves, Jad is keenly aware of the interplay between family law and the military. Jad further understands the effects that divorce and parenting time issues have on service members and their families, both while serving and after.
As a child of divorce, Jad believes that his personal and professional experiences aid him in relating to clients. Joseph is very aware that the effects of divorce are prevalent long after the formal ending of a marriage. He will make it a point to keep his clients focused on their children and how their actions today will impact their future.

What Clients are Saying?
Hi Mr. Marrison, Not sure if you remember my name, but in September of 2015, I left my husband. A few days later, my friend obtained your business card and passed it to me. I had no money and no where to turn. I pretty much called you out of desperation and your advice and managed to obtain a restraining order. Several times after that, I'd call you with my questions. But, graciously, you always would either take the call or return it. I think you knew I had no money because you never encouraged me to hire you. But instead, you encouraged me to call you with my questions. So one day Mr. Marrison, all the good will return upon you. I have faith. As I'm writing this, I am crying because I am so incredibly grateful. We have never met, but you are and always will be appreciated. With an ocean full of thanks, SH PS. I won my case and got 100% "my" way.
Marrison Law firm is absolutely amazing. From the moment I called and completed a phone consultation, to the moment I won my case I was beyond satisfied. Mikayla and Donna were always compassionate to my needs and always fought with my best interest in mind. My case was so very unique and yet so very messy, I continued to catch myself doubting my probability of winning but as soon as that happened Mikayla and Donna would reassure me. I never felt judged, or like I was just being told what I want.
Dear Pat Marrison, I am writing to you to thank you for our experience in working with your firm. We had the pleasure of working alongside several of your team members for a modification case. Our case was tedious, lasting approximately 7 months. Your team was dedicated, thorough, and sincere. Respectfully,
It is with endless gratitude to have the Marrison Law firm representing me for my divorce. I would not have been able to endure such a painful and sad circumstance. It is truly a honor and a privilege to have them on my team.
I've been so fortunate to have hired the Marrison Law firm to represent me in what has been a long and difficult custody conflict. Through the entire process, everyone on staff has been amazing! Not only have I received excellent legal representation, but I've also received an incredible amount of emotional support during one of the most difficult periods of my life.
The Marrison Law Firm has represented me in an excruciating, ongoing family legal matter for over 2 years now. Their legal staff is very consistent with providing professional, thorough, patient, detailed and prompt action as needed. They patiently answer my questions, and I typically have a lot of them. I have been so grateful to have an attorney, Pat (and support staff), that is very experienced and still genuinely cares about how my family members lives are affected with the court case issues. There is always careful, efficient, strategic consideration every time we file a motion (and there have been many motions). The other party has been very aggressive and relentless. Pat has remained undaunted, always calm and still ready to win the legal battles at hand. KUDOS to the Marrison Law Firm, my family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!
I want you all to know how much I appreciate all you have done for me and my children. We have all survived through adversity and bloomed into kindness. I just can't thank you enough for helping me maintain my relationship with my children. You all will ALWAYS hold special place in my heart!!!
Pat and the entire Marrison firm were very helpful during our difficult child custody case. Pat specifically was very helpful and understanding during the process, she answered all our questions, concerns, and numerous phone calls promptly and stayed very professional throughout our ordeal. She also gave us a wonderful military discount and was very understanding when it came to paying bills. She had no issues giving us some time to make payments and was very understanding. After almost a year of court etc. we came out on top and with our family together. Thank you Pat we really appreciate it.
