I highly recommend Mark. It took my impossible situation and gave me everything I asked for!! He gave me my little girl and life back!

Mark Gober is smart, effective, and hard working, but yet sensitive to the needs of a family in crisis.

A friend recommended Mark Gober and my family was 100% pleased with his representation during my family's time of need. When a divorce happens, yes, it is about money and who gets what but there are so many other more important concerns. Mr. Gober obtained a very good financial settlement for me but he also assured that all of the needs of our children from now through college were fully addressed. Mark is caring, but still forceful and will stand up and fight for you and your children in Court. Cannot say enough good things about Mr. Gober and the great work he does for families.

You get what you pay for !

I was very nervous heading into my divorce due to major concerns for my child's safety during his visitation with his father. Mark and his staff listened to exactly what I wanted and helped me get that. If you are looking for an experienced lawyer who has compassion for the child involved then Mark is the attorney for you. After just five days the papers were signed and I couldn't have been any happier with the results. My divorce was handled in an extremely timely manner and I am forever grateful for Mark and his staff. Mark was very up front with me about his pricing and I knew going in what I was expected to pay. Mark cares about his client and makes sure the children get what they need. As a female getting a divorce was extremely scary, but Mark made it a very smooth process for me.

Best divorce lawyer in Tuscaloosa

I have used Mark Gober in a bitter divorce/custody case which involved a large amount of assets. He has also represented me in two post divorce cases filed by my former wife. He knows what he is doing and he saved my life. Gober is NOT the least expensive lawyer in town. You get what you pay for. He has been around for a long time and he has the connections and relationships to get things done. Highly recommend.

Mark Gober is an excellent and experienced lawyer.

The divorce process is very painful, especially where the future of your children hangs in the balance. Mark Gober represented me in a very difficult child custody battle and secured for me the custody of my two children after a bitterly fought trial. I would recommend him highly.
