Mark L. Medley’s Reviews

I used mark 3 years ago in my Divorce, I was an emotional reck and thought he would fight for me. He told me " this ain't my first rodeo" so I put my trust in him as most of us do. He wasn't prepared for court ever, I didn't go to my final hearing cause I wasn't informed. I am sure someone else received my notice because I received other people's paperwork. Major hippa violation. When I had a question I called him. He told me he didn't have time for me because he was hanging Christmas lights and hung up on me. I tried again a couple of days later and he told me my husband and I were in a pissing contest and he was getting his kids off to school and once again hung up on me. I couldn't fire him because he had already taken all my money I took out of my retirement, which he suggested I do to pay him. During the divorce he never communicated anything to me. I have a special needs child and lost more than what I should have. I am now dealing with retirement and child support issue he drew up which are unclear ,and have had to hire a different attorney. What lawyers need to realize is the long term effects it has on peoples lives.I have had to borrow money to try and fight for my mentally retarded son, who is now an adult, while Mark is living a high life on all my retirement money I gave him. He took full advantage of my time of emotional destress and I am sure has not thought twice about us. I have now gained strength over the last couple of years and write this in hope he doesn't do this to anyone else. I tried to report him to the Bar but the statue of limitation is up. My new lawyer listens to what I have to say and what a difference a little kindness makes when ur not scared to ask a question from ur own lawyer. If I lose my next court case the kindness my lawyer has shown toward me and my son is worth all the money I am having to pay. Kindness goes a long way. I am a nurse and treat each patient as if they are a family member. Someday I might be taking care of ur mother, sister, wife husband and would expect me to provide exceptional care. Why can't he have done the same.

MARK MEDLEY has been my personal attorney for many years and I will continue to use him as well as recommend him to my friends and colleagues seeking "One Of The Best Family Law Attorneys In San Antonio". I highly recommend Mark and his services to anyone seeking an aggressive family law attorney.I hired Mark to represent me w/ my child support case and indeed, Mark came thru for me with an excellent outcome. I put the utmost faith in Mark as he has proven to be an OUTSTANDING lawyer in the courtroom.

Mark is very aggressive and saves his energy for the legal points that matter. In the courtroom there is none better. From choosing a jury to questioning a witness, to reading the mood of the judge, Mark is extremely adept and will yield the best possible results. He is great for high conflict custody cases.

Don't expect him to hold your hand daily or babysit you. But when he can make a legal difference, he is there. I am sticking with him for all my current and future custody issues that arise in my high-conflict case.

We hired mark 2 years ago and he has done a great job with our high conflict case. His is very responsive and did a wonderful job of keeping us informed at every step during the hearings and trial. I would strongly recommend Mark.

From day one Mark and his staff handled my case with extreme priority and sensativity. Keeping me informed at all times, allowing me to weight my options and making himself available to answer questions and address concerns. Paralegal Alma Pope was also very caring and effective in process all necessary document with a great sense of urgency and also keeping in constent comunication with me via email and phone. Mark provides a very comfortable office atmospher allowing me to not feel nervous while try to comunicate details regarding my case.

i was a board certified trial expert prior to retiring and i chose mark medley to represent me in my divorce. his performance was splendid.

Mark is a very tough attorney, understands 100% of family law. Mark is the attorney you want in your corner. He doesn't have any flashy slogans or gimmicks; he just gets the job done. Very professional, understanding and he has a presence in the court room.

In my opinion he is the best attorney. He is awesome in court

Mark Medley consumed most of my retainer prior to the first hearing in my divorce case. He presented faulty facts to the judge and did not make a clear case on my behalf. Medley then loudly insulted me in the presence of my new attorney and opposing counsel in the courthouse hallway at a subsequent hearing with many other witnesses, including his own client. He made the comments not knowing that I was in the hallway out of his sight.

Mark used up my retainer as quick as he could. Didn't accomplish a lot with the money he got. He kept charging me. My ex was breaking into my home and there were accusations of child molestation. When I called Mark he was never available. Became friends with someone in his office and they simply said they were tired of covering for him because he didn't want to talk to clients. In the rare event he did talk to me he took other calls and put me on hold several times. I got billed for the whole phone call regardless of the fact that he was attending to other business while I was on the phone. Some of it was personal. He tried to bully me into accepting things I felt would harm my children. In the end it did.

I used this lawyer twice and will never use him again! I currently in the process of firing him. Used him in the 2nd time because I thought he had my files from the first time and it would easier, boy was I wrong! When you go to the consultation , which you will have to pay for, he tells you what you want to hear just to get your money! If you value your money and family go to another lawyer! I know have to hire another lawyer to try to salvage my case!!! He cares about the money, not people! When you call him, it is virtually impossible to get a hold of him, when I sent him emails he charged me for reviewing the emails, but never responded to them! His business is not ran proficiently and they make billing errors in their favor! If you use him, always double ck your bill!!!!

Mr. Medley, in my opinion, as a "prior client" is a very deceiving and unprofessional attorney. I would never, ever recommend him to anyone, as he takes your money upfront .. a huge amount, I might add, and when an emergency comes up, as a very, very ill family member, and you have to withdraw from his service at the time, he refuses to give any money back. I had to hire yet another attorney to get a small portion back of my original thousands and thousands paid Medley. Is is certainly not trustworthy nor professional, and seeks to gain money from clients by taking advantage of them and the losses in their lives, in my opinion. Do not use this attorney if you value your time, energy, emotions and especially your money. I give this review as my own opinion, which is the ONLY way that I can review this attorney.

I've been in & out of court through a divorce & over child custody since 2005; it has been said by my former husband that I have a "powerful attorney," as he witnessed during our jury trial & subsequent court appearances. Mark took me on as a client when all of the odds were against me as I failed to realize that my former husband was not going to be a nice person in this process & I stood to loose my children during the process & stopped at nothing; yet, Mark accepted my case a few weeks before a jury trial, without hesitation, he studied my case; had a very commanding presence in the court room and made a very compelling case on my behalf leading the jury to unanimously award my children to me. Each time I've been taken back to court; Mark has hit a homerun with his astute knowledge of family law; ensured I had peace of mind in the process. While I could go on and on about what Mark has remarkably done for me, it's sufficient to say he's a top-notch lawyer who gets the job done!!!
