Experiance - Integrity - Results

I can not say enough great things about Mark Sessums. Mark is an attorney whom I know is extremely busy, however he made me feel like I was his only client. Every time I had a question or concern he would get back with me immediately at most any hour on any day which in my case was extremely helpfu...l and reassuring. He is one of the nicest down to earth men you will ever encounter who NEVER makes you feel like your needs are unwarranted. He always gives you proper advise to lead you in the right direction and keeps your expectation realistic. His staff is as amazing as he is. I don't think you will find a better team of legal professionals any where. I will recommend Mark to anyone and everyone for as long as I live. He is a true artist at what he does and you can tell he loves what he does. Through the year Mark represented me, I never once felt I was being left out of the loop which happened with my previous attorney prior to retaining him. When you need something done right, he is the man who stands by you and who cares about doing the right thing. He is a man of his word and ALWAYS did the best for me, his client. He is the absolute best in my opinion.

This is not a paid endorsement! It is the truth!

After reading these beyond-belief-reviews, I can only assume they were paid endorsements. This attorney has had my simple child custody modification for almost 2 years. We are no closer to resolution than when I walked into his office. He does not return phone calls. Pads his bills. Shows up late to ...hearings. Argues the wrong matters he schedules before the Judge. Judge and opposing counsel had to finally tell him he was arguing the wrong thing! (I was mortified!) Pretty much completely unprepared and arrogant. But has managed to bill me almost $10,000 for "work". Maybe if I was the Man fighting on custody issues he would have done his job. Reporting him to the bar will be in everyone's best interest. Terrible service by both him and his paralegal! Almost 4 months later I am still waiting on him to set a hearing on a vital Motion he filed with the court in April. But now I find out he is going to withdraw instead of finish the job. Good luck if you use him. You will need it AND A LOT OF MONEY!

This former client chose to post a misrepresentation of her case on many levels. I worked with her at a former firm. She knew my abilities when she hired my firm. She came to us and asked us to take her case as she had been held in contempt for failure to comply with a timesharing order. She knew our capabilities and that is why she retained my firm’s services for 2 years. She was scared and needed help. The falling out occurred when we asked her to make small payments that she could afford: $300 monthly. She declined to do so from April, 2014, to the present despite promising she would do so. We had not set the matter for trial as the existing timesharing order was favorable to her and it was not in her interest to have the matter tried as her timesharing goals were unrealistic and limiting timesharing was her ultimate goal. However, when she asked us to amend her petition without payment to more fully set out her claims we did so and agreed on a monthly payment schedule thereafter. She then reneged on paying. Our withdrawal followed. I quote her March 19 e-mail to my assistant “[I am not’ criticizing the work performed by you or Mark or the firm…I appreciate someone standing up for my 2 boys…” That was the last e-mail she ever sent our firm. We tried to help a former co-worker and are being unfairly criticized for our efforts.
