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!

Custody case

Mark was the fourth attorney I hired in Campbell county regarding my custody hearing. I fought for additional visitation and custody with all four lawyers over the course of 10 years for one child. In November of 2021 Mark was able to finally win me custody and I took my child home that day. My gra...titude couldn’t be more overwhelming for him and his family. As someone who has kids himself I’m sure he can better embody not only being an attorney but a father in a lot of his cases. In addition I usually hire attorneys that are sharks. But mark is calm and reserved in his approach and still gains access to the things we needed to make it happen. I would hire him again for future cases.

You ensure the best possible outcome on my behalf, I know you have a lot of clients, but you always respon...d for my phone or my texts and you pay attention to detail really meant a lot to me. Thanks! for being by my side we were walking into the courtroom to win the case.

Excellent Lawyer

No one wants to go to court, but if you find yourself there the one must have is a lawyer. Your lawyer is the person who navigates you from beginning to end through a not so fun process. The key is to find a lawyer who fits you. Mark was my fit. Mark is an excellent lawyer. From the initial consult t...o the signed court papers he was there every step of the way. Mark and his team are very knowledgeable and go out of their way to to make the process as easy as possible. He handled a custody case for me. He treated me like family not just a court case. He understands that this is your life and will fight for the right verdict. I highly recommend him in your trying times. His knowledge, quick wit, and experience will be your most valuable asset.

A Phenomenal Lawyer

Mr. Dunevant handled my custody, visitation, and child support case for me. He knew exactly what to do once I explained my situation to him, and his exact words were "I know what to do, you don't have to worry about anything." Mark has been there for me no matter what time of day to answer any questi...ons that I had for him. He always made sure to set up a meeting before every court cause to discuss any changes and our plans. After court he would always explain to me in detail what the judge said, what's going to happen next, and his plans for me. My case was handled very professionally and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Dunevant, he will put all of his attention and knowledge into your case.
