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.

Out of State - My Miracle Worker

I called Mr. McDaniel the day before I had court for a speeding ticket. I had let the date sneak up on me and I am not a resident of TN but Texas. It was after lunch, he took my call - he went to court the next morning for me; the ticket was gone; not on my record, and no additional costs. He took ...a tremendous of stress away. My son & I travel a lot to Cincinnati Children's for health care so we drive this frequently! Thank you Mr. McDaniel!

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.
