Losing His MInd

I met with Attorney Mack back in August of 2023 to defend me on a case, we made an agreement and I paid him $1500 for his defense. After several months of not hearing anything and not being able to even get in touch with a paralegal (left several messages) I was finally able to schedule another appoi...ntment to meet with Attorney Mack. Upon my arrival we entered his office and his action were like he had no idea why I was even there. As I started to reiterate our conversation he still had no memory in relation to anything involving my case. Of course I pushed back a little at which time he stated that perhaps he was not the attorney to represent me in this case. After a cool down period of a couple days I called the office back and left a message requesting a refund since he basically quit. A few days later I received a call to come in and meet with Attorney Stephens as he was going to take over my case. The initial meeting went well and I left feeling confident. Fast forward to December 2024 and I still have had no progress. The messages left at the office are not returned. I also have communicated with Attorney Stephens via text messages to his mobile device. Each time he replies he is tied up in a hearing and will get back to me either later on that day or the next. Needless to say I am still awaiting those replies. I did find out that this law office is actually up for sale. Something, actually a lot of things just don't feel right and at the end of the day I have received almost next to nothing from a service perspective.

A Big Mistake

I regret having ever hired this guy. You meet him in person, consult for a few minutes, and you think, HE is going to defend you and be in touch after you hire him. No sir! He farms you out to someone below him, or third party affiliated, that works on scraping you off or billing you for more mone...y. I ended up terminating the firm, on account of them not being sincere in defending me, why did you agree to do so when I hired YOU? Why would I hire you at all if you are not doing, what we agreed, hence, what is your duty? I Was charged over 3,500.00, and never had a single hearing with them!

NO REGRETS!!

I HIGHLY recommend Mark Mack as an attorney. He was very quick in handling my case; he got my case dismissed in 3 months. He keeps good communication/contact with you and explains everything in detail. The price was very reasonable as well. Overall, he is very professional and knowledgeable. I am v...ery thankful for the great service that was provided from Mr. Mack and his staff.

Best!

When I hired Mack I had a very short time before my court date. His firm was not only accommodating but very quick to understand what it was I wanted from the court. He was candid on his assessment of my situation and very much on my side. He got me a favorable outcome even more favorable than he a...llowed me to expect. I have to say I am pleased I went to this firm.
