I was vary reserved about choosing a Lawfirm. We met with Tom Marks initially for a consultation because we were dealing with a unique situation and case. (Ex wife and children out of state) Our pastor actually recommended them. Tom was honest with us which was a relief because my experience has be...en anything but honest with others. He gave us vary accurate cost consideration from best case scenario to worst case scenario which helped to be prepared for the worst and budget for the worst. (For example that if it wasn't contested would be far cheaper but if contested and need social evaluation could be as much as "incert cost") We ended up choosing Joy Reagan as our attorney who is within the umbrella of The Marks Lawfirm. Mostly because Tom recommended her and felt would be better fit for our situation. It's been 10 months since our case was finalized and I'm just getting around to writing a review. Reviews I don't give very often but when it comes to lawyers they are few and far between to find real honest ones. I've looked and hired a couple duds. They handled my case with grace. Dealt with serious issues in a timely manner. Gave good counsel. And made my life less stressful in dealing with a vary complex family situation. I can't say I would have been able to accomplish the results without them as advocates behind me. Obtaining primary custody for a father is no easy task. I'd recommend them to anyone serious about navigating the family court system and wants to take the high road of doing right by your family. I'd NOT recommend them if your looking for EVERYTHING you can get from the court system. They will tell you to consider the family above any selfish or vindictive motivation and I loved that about them. And if your motivation is that I would say they'd rather not have you as a client. I also loved that as well.

I am a father who is well versed in speaking publicly, however, I am finding it hard to locate the most proper words to fully describe my experience in my interactions with Tom Marks, as well as his paralegal Terri, while they were in charge of our case... We were going up against some pretty hefty ...opposition coming from my in-laws, which is definitely par for the course for my marriage of 11 years, and Tom, very quickly, a swayed my concerns about their power level in the process they were putting me and my wife through concerning our children. He gave us the confidence to absolutely stomp our foot down on our oppressors ideas of what they declared needed to happen, which they saw as their right, simply due to their claims that we were undeserving of our own children, who are 9 and 11... Tom showed me that they, in fact, had absolutely no legal right to have any say on our children's future, mainly because the rights and power they were claiming they had, had only been granted to them as a temporary construct by us, our children's parents. After learning that fact in our first meeting with Tom Marks, I was able to rebut, repeatedly, my in-laws notions that they were in charge of the decision making in the whole process, and we should be grateful that they were allowing us to regain our rightful position. After pretty deftly and forcefully confronting my mother in law of just where her power came from in the first place, i.e. me and her daughter, she promptly did a 180 degree turn, stopped arguing with us, and then proceeded to act like she was on our team the whole time. Man, did we ever feel ecstatic after that conversation! In fact we felt so good after that conversation, we decided to just ignore the disingenuous nature of my in-laws actions directly after our win. Since we were so obviously the victors, we decided to keep our actions on the high road. But let us tell you, we will absolutely be calling Tom Marks, as well as his paralegal Terri, to take charge of whatever situation we may find ourselves in where an attorney in necessary. They are kind, focused, highly intelligent of the law, compassionate as well as being quite prompt in their interactions with us, their clients, particularly because time=coin in the legal realm. I will end my adulation by pointing out this one all encompassing ideal... The whole Tom Marks team was refreshingly gut level honest from the beginning of our interactions, all the way through to the end. I found that they actually aspired to act with the same fervor as my family does throughout life, which is to have Integrity, humility and a sense of urgency in everything they do. Tom and his team exceeded all of our expectations in every respect.

Mr. Marks is a person first and a lawyer second. My situation was handled with urgency and in accordance with my intent as well as end state. He worked with my timeline and provided legal advice that proved invaluable. An honest broker who truly looks into the best interest of his client and the futu...re of the children involved. In the long run, Mr. Marks negotiation skillset allowed me to walk away from this ordeal with everything that I declared I could part with. Highly Recommended!

Tom Marks and his firm were the ‘able guides’ for me during the most difficult experience of my life. What was to have been an amicable adult process quickly turned into a nasty battle and Tom with his team were proactive professionals when things started to go sideways. Between the characters of m...y now ex and the lawyer she chose to represent her, there were many surprises that I was able to confidently hand to the Marks Law firm and have them respond quickly. Tom would say “White gloves and white hat” reminding me more than once that we would take the high road in all our dealings against someone that continued to rack up contempt of court judgments against her. Tom specifically was considerate of my costs when it came to unnecessary and wasteful proceedings set on me by my ex, intended to make this very financially painful for me. It was also apparent in the court room and in all legal proceedings that Tom was well respected and known at all levels to be a superior attorney in his field. The judge even stated that to me in the final judgment session, and I agreed with him having experienced that all along. I would rather not ever have to introduce Tom or any good divorce attorney to someone I know and love. Yet if the reality of life finds you needing legal counsel in the area of family law, you will not find a more caring expert to guide you through the storm. I highly recommend the Marks Law firm.

I was referred to Tom Marks Law Firm by my grandchildren's counselor as I had several child custody questions in regards to my son's upcoming divorce. Mr. Marks and his team were very attentive to my questions and concerns. They gave me good solid advice on how to proceed and what our options were.... Over several years my family and I have had contact with many different lawyers, both business and personal. I can truly say that out of all my experiences that Mr. Marks and his legal team got back quickly with research to answer my legal questions. Mr. Marks' office staff were the most friendly, courteous and helpful that I have ever encountered. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Marks Law Firm to anyone in need of family law matters. I wish we had met Mr. Marks sooner to handle my son's divorce case.
