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.

Divorce

Mr. Creech handled my divorce, he really did a great job of making sure that I did not get cheated out of anything that I should not have. He did exactly what he said he would do and made sure that I knew exactly what was going on......I will tell my buddies about him if they ever need a lawyer for ...anything. He was pretty cool about the whole thing and I thought his prices were good, too.

Divorce

Mr. Creech did a great job of handling my divorce, I was very happy with the results, it didn't cost as much as I thought, and he did everything he said he would for me. I will tell my buddies about him. This is my second time writing this, I don"t think it went through the first time and I want to ...make sure it does. Thanks!

Mark Gets It Done!

Mark stays cool and calm; explains what will happen when, and then listens to your desires in the case so he can give you the lowdown, the practical, the art of the possible. I got thru my divorce with personal damage at a fair minimum and nothing for me to be resentful about. Mark engineered a clean... break, a clean divorce for me.

Recommend

I am sure it is fair to say that I am a "PITA" client - having been faced with a nasty divorce - that came out of the clear blue sky. As a result, I was particularly emotional - Mr. Creech did his best to keep me calm, which I appreciate. Mr. Creech has a fantastic presence in court - and is very s...killed. When we went to court, I was very pleased with the results. (The only reason I said "Good" instead of "excellent" on "Kept me informed" is because I feel if he had "cc-ed" me when he filed docs with opposing counsel or with the court - in the form of "Progress Reports" - that may have helped me to stay calm- because then I would know what was going on, eliminating the need for me to pester him for updates)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
