Amazing attorney

I turned to Mark when my child's mother attempted to conduct an "in state removal", in an attempt to severely alter my parenting time and harm our relationship. Despite the other sides attorney making false, disgusting claims and operating in a manner unbefitting of her title, Mark remained incredibl...y professional and never wavered. I relied on his extensive knowledge of the situation and trusted him the entire way through. Mark's efforts at trial were incredible and these actions led to the attempted move to not be allowed. I was then granted primary physical custody of my child. If not for Mark's efforts and expertise during this time, I would not feel like the parent I do today, as I had been fighting for years just to be one. I highly recommend Mark for any custody issues, as I would not be where I am today without him!

Great lawyer

I was going through a custody battle with my ex husband, and consulted with Mark about my situation. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He always had a plan of action and was professional to all parties involved. In his absence he made sure an associate was available to me. Mark is a har...d working, honest lawyer that knows the law and cares about his clients. I was very satisfied and would highly recommended him.

Outstanding Professional service 2nd to none.

Mr. Lee came to my rescue in December 2012 . He was an attorney who cared for my situation and represented me in my divorce when all others wouldn't return phone calls. His dedication to my case got me what I was exactly looking for. Everything that I asked for in my divorce including 50% custody... I was able to achieve only because of his hard work and understanding what really is fair for people to move forward. I know if Attorney Lee hadn't contacted me that day my life would not be what it is today. He was a life changer for me and my three sons. I will never be able to thank him enough for the positive changes that we are enjoying. Thank you Mr. Lee!

Men are parents too

My case started with a separation and grew to a divorce case. Mark and Nicole advised me of the many scenarios that may occur and how to prepare for them. Mark was very knowledgeable and experienced throughout. As the case evolved Mark was very resourceful in recomending outside parties that needed t...o be involved IE:{Accountants, Gaurdian Ad litem, Counselors,Etc.}. Marks office kept me informed by mail, email and Phone which kept the communication open and informative. As a Male the odds were against me when the case erupted into a custody battle. Mark tooks the basic facts of the case, kept it simple and procedeeded diligently. He worked on my behalf to get our lives back to what it was before the separation. While Mark was aggressive , He took every oppurtunity to help settle the case fairly outside of court. Mark always understood where i was coming from and where the case needed to go. After all other common sense attempts were made it was determined that we would have to go to trial. Mark spent ample time collecting facts and was impeccably well prepared for the trial. His presentation of the details was quick, precise, and well delivered. He made it very easy for the judge to see that the children were better off living with thier father. I can't speak enough to Marks level of preparation. In the end, I was awarded full Legal and physical custody of my children and a fair parenting plan. The judge even threw in child support for me surprisingly. I feel that Mark always understood what I was going through while maintaining a high level of professionalism.

Don't give up hope

Are you a dad trying to fight for your children and ready to give in? I am a father that received sole custody of two young girls; achieving what seemed impossible through tenaciousness and honesty; with the support of my attorney. Putting the children in the middle and fighting over child custo...dy is not the best option for the children; however when the children are mentally suffering from one's parents inability to comprehend the damage that they are causing their child due to their own insecurities and you have no choice but to fight for your children, Attorney Mark Lee is the lawyer you want. Attorney Lee listened to the concerns, remembered little details of the children's experiences that were explained to him over 2 years, saw how the mother was using the children as pawns and stealing their precious childhood. When I was at my wits end and ready to just give up and take the selfish easy path because of the fight fathers have to fight, Attorney Lee and Nicole stood behind me and believed in me when everyone thought I was just over reacting and should just continue to let the mother do as she pleased. In this society everyone always assumes the mother is the best option to raise the children, and fathers like myself that live their life around their children are not given a fair and equal chance. Obviously it is in the best interest of the children for both parents to find a way to get along and do what is best for the children, however in my case it was not possible due to the mother's mental state. Without Attorney Mark Lee and Nicole Boyda standing behind me and my Judge listening to all the facts in trial and getting to the truth; I sincerely believe that I would have not been awarded sole custody of my children. While the mother still has visitation and continues to inflict drama on the children, it has been minimized by the amount of time that is spent with her. The children look healthier, they are less stressed, doing very well in school and are on the honor roll. So if you are asking yourself if you should hire Attorney Mark T Lee, first ask yourself if you want an attorney standing beside you that cares about you and your children; not just your wallet.
