Mark is An Excellent Attorney

Mark deserves a solid 5 star rating and more. He is a professional, knowledgeable, and focused attorney who got me the results I was looking for in my difficult divorce case. I would not hesitate to use him again and I highly recommend that you give him a consult.

Outstanding Attorney

Divorce decision and Resolution Mark was recommended tome by a friend and I was glad to have an experienced and competent lawyer working with me. Mark is calm compassionate, and a good listener. He was extremely professional and gave me practical and sound advice and best approaches to my questions ...and ultimate decisions that benefited me. During the process my husband and I were able to reconcile and Mark was pleased that we were able to save our marriage.

Best Lawyer

Mark Dunevant at Dunevant Law P.C. was great to work with! I wish I could give 10 stars but google only allows 5! As we called around for legal help.. we were referred to Mark Dunevant by three other attorneys initially, so I knew at that point he was the right choice for us! Mark represented my case... with excellent care and knowledge and wisdom! He listened to my full story and got to know me and my relatives to learn our situation so that he could provide the best representation! Mark always shuffled his schedule around to be available during short notice meetings and hearings, he went over and above to protect me from any harm to my name or record from any and all lies told against me, false accusations, extreme hostility, public harrassement, attempted burglaries, stalking, provocation… etc. that I endured! Mark guided me through every step of my divorce and custody battle! Mark controlled the courtroom with expert knowledge and confidence and ran circles around the opposing attorney! Mark did so well for me that I am actually in a better place now in life being single than I ever was being married….. can you believe that?!? I feel extremely blessed to have had Dunevant Law P.C. as my legal representation, and I will recommend Mark Dunevant to all of my friends and family for if and when they need legal representation of any kind! I would give Dunevant Law P.C. a 12 out of 10 rating! Mark Dunevant has now become a long time friend of mine, because of the excellent legal experience I have had, and he will be my lawyer of choice for anything and everything I require legal representation for! Please do not hesitate to call Mark Dunevant today, I promise you will not be disappointed! Thanks!

The best Lawyer in Lynchburg.

Mark was highly recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad I listened. As soon as I hired him as my Divorce Lawyer, I got back my peace of mind. He always looked for the best approach that will benefit me. Mark is calm, compassionate, and a good listener, He answered all my concerns in a calm ...manner. After the divorce, I had to go back to court for a child support hearing. He gave me the best advice I could have, for which I am so thankful. I wish I had hired him sooner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
