The best attorney in town!

I would love to express my heartfelt gratitude to the McDaniel Law Firm.. The professional expertise, I have been so incredibly fortunate to work with the team at this firm, have well beyond exceeded my expectations. Mark McDaniel Jr. gave me my life back. He is THE BEST attorney in Memphis, TN. I hi...ghly encourage anyone dealing with a case to call his law firm immediately. His team are wonderful people, as they always call or email me back instantly if I have a question or concerns. Mark and his team members are highly supportive and knowledgeable. They have an excellent reputation and will represent you very well. Additionally, Mark has such impeccable manners, and it is no surprise that the community holds him in such a high regard, as they should. I am blown away by his integrity. He will give all that he can to negotiate and execute a plan of action to reach the most positive outcome you could have ever expected. This man made the impossible become, actually unbelievably, possible. I promise that he and his team will fight for you and work towards getting you the very best outcome. Mark McDaniel Jr. genuinely cares and will advocate for you. I am so grateful and appreciative of him! Warmest Regards, Caitlin O.

Mark McDaniel Jr is a skilled, highly recommend attorney

Mark had to fight my charge for a long time because I refused to plead guilty, and the entire time Mark made me feel like I had a friend—a legal friend—fighting in my corner. Mark is a skilled, 10 out of 10 attorney and legal advisor, and his retainer fee was very reasonable. I will always be grate...ful for how the negotiations he did for me changed the trajectory of my life. I would have lost my job and had a criminal record had I been found guilty, but after Mark’s hard work, the case was (rightfully) dismissed and expunged.

Excellent Service

I am so grateful that I found the McDaniel Law Firm to handle my son's case. He was charged with simple possession/misdemeanor. I am highly satisfied with the entire range of service, from the inquiry/intake process, working with the attorney, to receiving closing documents stating his record had bee...n expunged. Every person that I encountered was very friendly and treated us with the highest respect. I was fully informed about each step of the process and never had to chase my attorney down. My son was worried about having to travel back and forth from college, but our attorney made sure he was represented well and could stay at school. The average person doesn't wake up and think "I'll do something today that will require an attorney's service." But life happens! When it does, I highly... HIGHLY recommend the folks at The McDaniel Law Firm.

Highly satisfied

The attorney did an excellent job. I was out of town on company business and he handled my case on short notice. I highly recommend this attorney.

Trustee/POA

I have worked with many attorney's over the years. Mark's legal knowledge, professionalism, and proactive management of the legal process, puts him at the top of my list for legal services in Memphis, Tennessee. I could not have asked for a better attorney or outcome to the cases Mark managed.

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.
