very good attorney

Mr Childers is a very good defense attorney. Tells you like it is and he tells you what he can do for you. In both my cases he has delivered what he promised and I was very happy with both results. Just like Bill Murry says in Stripes. Never convicted. He is worth the $.

Great person and lawyer

I couldn't have asked for better representation and highly recommend Mark to anyone for anything. I had serious dwi pending and the issues that surround such a problem kept mounting up. Mark asked what I wanted as far as a realistic outcome, then not only made that happen but went above and beyond... what we thought was possible. Work has me out of town a lot so I wasn't the easiest person to deal with, and he and Diane did their best to work around my schedule making my life much easier during a rotten time. I was presented with many options and scenarios, and given complete explanations on why or why I shouldn't go certain routes, never being talked down to once. The end result was awesome, and we can't thank Mark & Diane enough for their time and efforts.

Mooresvill accident

December 2014 while traveling in Mooresville, NC from my home in Wilmington, NC I was in a major traffic accident involving an eighteen wheeler and a passenger car. I was cited for leaving a safe lane. Physically and emotionally under stress I reached out for help and support. A local resident ref...erred me to the law firm of Jones, Childers, McLurkin & Donaldson PLLC specially Mark Childers and his Paralegal Michelle. From my first phone call Mark and Michelle took charge of my case with exceptional warmth, kindness and a high level of professionalism. Many pieces of this traffic accident had to be addressed involving several stake holders across many states. My legal team took immediate charge addressing all my legal issues with promptness keeping me in the loop with timely communications. Their extraordinary legal skills representing me at my court hearings resulted in a positive outcome for me. I highly recommend Mark and Michelle to anyone who is in need of outstanding legal support.

Excellent

My 16 yr old son was "showboating" mere weeks before he was granted his full DL. I was desperate to make sure he wouldn't receive points on his record or against the insurance. Mark Childers and his paralegal addressed my case immediately, kept me informed every step of the way and my son's case was ...closed with the Best possible outcome. Thank you!
