Mark Douglas McMann

I would not recommend Mark McMann P.A. to anyone for any legal issues. I hired him December 2016, for a simple child support modification and we agreed on a total payment for the case. As the case progressed, McMann P.A. and his staff quickly became difficult to contact via phone when I needed upd...ates on the case. They either returned calls several days later or not at all. During the case, I had also set up several phone consultations with dates and times. McMann P.A. never followed through with any of them. During court mediation he was supposed to show up at the court but claimed at the last minute he was ill, and phoned in instead. During the case we also moved and I notified McMann P.A. twice we had moved, yet his office kept sending the paperwork to the wrong address. We also never received any notice of the deposition via email or at our address. Luckily, I called the day before the deposition to ask about the case and I was finally told the deposition was the next day. If I had not called, I would have missed my own court date as McMann P.A. failed to keep me advised of my case progress. When I did finally receive case documents from his office there was many mis-spellings and grammatical errors. I actually had to contact his office to have them corrected. The case was finally resolved almost 7 months later. Even though the case was resolved without going to trial, and we had already agreed on the payment amount, he then demanded additional money for the case. In closing, I would not recommend attorney McMann P.A. for any legal issues whatsoever. Also, the Florida Bar states McMann P.A. was disciplined and fined by the Florida bar on 6/21/17 for a DUI-driving under the influence, (which he plead guilty in court) and received from the Florida Bar one year probation, fines and court costs.

Mr. mcmann failed to represent me on a simple custody modification. My exam-wife and I had shared custody with no child support , my ex took me to court asking for full custody, I challenged and ask for custody due to the fact that DVD had been evolved with my ex regarding children and the fact she w...as baker acted for a suicide attempt 6mths prior. Mark failed to bring this to the courts attention. Nothing was addressed except I paid him $2300, had to pay $5000 for my ex-wifes attorney plus $416 monthly child support while still having my son 50 percent of the time, keeping health insurance on him plus paying her 70 percent of whatever she buys him. Mind you nothing else was changed, his office staff is rude, nobody returns emails/phone calls and he dropped the issues without me advising him to do so, and when confronted he says you told him to. He even cancelled hearing that her attorney was fighting us on not wanting DVD records or baker act records admitted into court, sent email saying he will reschedule and never did. He even spoke other clients he was representing.

I had a horrible experience with Mr. Mcmann. I hired him to help me in an injunction case. My original child support case was located in Tampa, so he had it moved to Lakeland (since this is where he is located...easier for him), this judge in Lakeland was awful and I had to pay an extra $300 dollar...s for the move, which he didn't even inform me of. Why he wanted to go to that judge was beyond me, because she was not good. He would never respond to my emails, when I called I was always told that he was out of the office and maybe the office staff could help answer a question. I would try to make apts to see him and he was always behind, seen me a lot later than our apt time and I always felt rushed. He seems to take on too many cases, and doesn't have the time he needs to make sure he is giving his attention to his client. He would also get my facts mixed-up and say that differently than I said. Way too much money, service was awful!
