DUI and DWI 35%

I believe that someone's life should not be ruined simply for one mistake. I take pride in securing significant reductions and/or not guilty verdicts for my clients.

Divorce and Separation 15%

I believe in handling uncontested matters quickly and discreetly. If the matter is contested, I believe in fighting for my clients -- even when they think they can't fight anymore.

Average Attorney

Attorney worked on my case and tried to settle my case very prematurely. Attorney was not very knowledgeable and was very pressing. Attorney wanted me to settle case four months after the accident and did not know many doctors who could treat me. I hired another attorney and he has got me the treatme...nt I needed and has exceeded further than I could ever imagine.

Great Attorney

Mark handled an auto accident injury for my granddaughter that involved multiple insurance companies. He was always professional and kept us informed of his progress. He was able to negotiate benefits on the policies that we had no clue was available. We were very pleased with the settlement. I w...as very impressed with his integrity as a young professional. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who needed an attorney. I will seek his services again if ever needed.

Excellent Service!

Mr. Jones handled my case against a company whose truck driver was negligent, which resulted in my car being totaled and personal injury to me. From the onset, Mr. Jones was very attentive and understanding of my claim. His thorough knowledge of procedures, particular laws, and circumstances surrou...nding my type of claim reassured me as we went along. He was calm and confident, tenacious and patient. Had it not been for his expertise and service, I would not have been successful in my claim against the company. I was extremely pleased with the compensation agreed upon through mediation. I have absolutely no doubt that Mr. Jones will continue providing excellent service to all his clients!

"Mark is a strong courtroom advocate who isn't afraid to wage war for his clients. Few attorneys, especially in Columbus, Georgia, are willing to put their clients' interests first and do what it takes to win a case. If want a lawyer who is respected by both lawyers and judges in Columbus for his knowledge and courage in the courtroom, then Mark Jones is your guy."
