Mark Stephen Hanks

Young female divorcing her HS sweetheart, which was a total disaster. Mark made this process effortless and easy for me to take a step back and let him guide me through the process. Dealing with a very rich ex husbands family, he had my best interest at heart, while understanding the laws and paramet...ers to fight my case for me fairly, and accurately. This was a very emotional, and unexpected divorce. Mark made this journey not nearly as bad as it could have been. I highly recommend Mark in the Tampa Bay Area, for a knowledgeable attorney, who will go the extra mile to ensure YOU get the best outcome. He is patient, understanding but also educated within his field to know what will be expected, and what cannot be expected. He will not blow smoke to get you to hire him. Authentic, genuine and leave the worrying up to Mark.

I contacted Attorney Hanks when I found out my now ex-husband had filed the paper work for our divorce. I spoke with Mr. Hank's paralegal, Bonnie the Friday afternoon before Easter. Not only was she in the office, she scheduled an appointment for me the first thing Monday morning. During our consu...ltation Mr. Hanks made me feel that the world was not going to come crashing down on me. He allayed my fears and reassured me that he had it all under control. He sure did. Between Bonnie and Mr. Hanks I never had to wait very long for a return phone call or answer to a question. When I had trouble filling out paper work he took the time to sit down and baby me through it. He got me the money I need to care for my children, and my ex had to pay the fees. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a divorce attorney.

Back in 2012 a felony charge was brought against me. Before Attorney Hanks, P.A., I had hired another local attorney to represent me. After spending a fortune in retainer fees with the other attorney, I eventually realized I needed an attorney who would believe me, and do everything possible to def...end my rights. I was facing a minimum five years of prison if found guilty after trial. Almost immediately after switching attorneys and retaining Attorney Hanks, P.A., he located previously, undiscovered evidence in my case. Over the following 13 months, he and his team launched a massive investigation into the circumstances surrounding my case. After nine depositions of SPPD police officers and their staff, and after ordering recordings, personnel files, and department policies, Attorney Hanks teamed up with an expert witness and private forensic analyst to build a very strong defense for my innocence. His defense was strong enough that even though I was facing 5 years, we turned down two separate State offers of 30 days in jail. He was more than prepared to take my case to trial. After more than a year of proactive defense work, Attorney Hanks had my charge dropped to a misdemeanor. I served no jail time, I had no probation, and I paid a miminal fine. Thank God for the work done through Attorney Hanks, P.A. They continued to fight for my rights and they never backed down from getting me justice Djakarta, St. Petersburg
