Estate Planning

Needed a solid estate plan for my very complicated family situation. Mr. Creech waded through the detail, completed everything satisfactorily. His price was very fair compared to other ranges I'd seen.

Do not hire this attorney!

This guy is a joke. He does not care about you or your problems . He doesnt care about anything but how much money you have . He put my case on the backburner and screwed up the whole situation and has sprung up a ton of new charges out of nowhere. His services are terrible. I feel I would have gotte...n more accomplished sooner without him. I strongly urge you to not waist your time with this con man. Your better off representing yourself.

Not an actual client.

terrible

He is the worst attorney and I use that word loosely. I hired him for a divorce and all he wanted to do is negotiate my life with the other attorney. Went to court on a support situation waste of time I could have done better being Pro Se. I would stay clear away from this person.

I am not familiar with this client based on the posting, but we do certainly try to get our client's the best possible outcome in every situation. Sometimes those situations require more negotiating than litigating.

Worst lawyer ever!!!!

I had the worst experience ever with this attorney and I don't say that lightly. Very unprofessional, unorganized and rude to say the least. I hired him in march and it's is now October and I have hired another attorney to clean up the mess he has made.....or should I say , lack there of , because w...hat should have been a easy 1 month process has now turned into a 8 month nightmare. I have yet to receive ANY copies or documents of anything that was going on that I asked for on NUMEROUS occasions along with an itemized bill of where my money was going to, only to get the run around every time. Every time I asked Mark Creech a question regarding the case I wouldn't get an answer or he would raise his tone with me and become very defensive and told me if I kept questioning him he wouldn't be able to help me and to find someone else. This man is so unorganized that I didn't even sign an agreement until 5 months into it . He charged me for bogus meetings that never occurred. When I wanted to get a second opinion about a document he wanted me to sign I was informed to sign it now or he would fire me as a client. I said fire me because I'm doing the same. I would NOT recommend this guy in a million year!!!

I would apologize for this experience, but this is not a real review. No such string of events has ever occurred for me to chalk this up to a misunderstanding. I will apologize to honest clients trying to get realistic feedback.

Landlord/Tenant situation

My husband and I saw Mr. Creech for a consultation regarding an issue with our tenant. He was very informative and helpful. He gave us some great advice and we are on our way to a satisfactory resolution. We certainly will utilize him again, if necessary.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
