This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Yelled at me after I told him I have panic disorder

Attorny hamby used my private consultation for his very next client .I won without representation .on appeal trebble said he would not remove any conflicts from hamby to request a new Attorny even though I told him my doctor advised me to stay away from too much stress because of high blood pressur...e /stroke .he screamed who told you your rights about four times and said he could not represent me

I'm sorry you feel I was not responsive to your needs. I did not yell at you. I tried to explain the scope of my representation to you and you would not let me get a work in edgewise. It was clear that you would not be listening to my advise if I was hired, so I let you know I could not represent you. I hope you find counsel that can assist you quickly.

Great Legal Counsel

Mark has represented in several times with my child custody case and child support. He is very professional and will help you navigate through the legal system and I highly recommend this firm.

Slow and Incomplete

I used this attorney twice. He was extremely slow both times, and did as little as possible both times. He doesn't seem to understand finances and could never understand my case. I'm still trying to clean up what he could have done easily in court.

I'm sorry you feel my representation was not effective. It says a lot that you would not even identify your first name so I can respond.

Great Attorney

I had the pleasure of being represented by Mr. Mark Tribble in 2018/2019. He made my experience with the Cookeville court system tolerable and I was able to get the results I needed in order to continue to do what I love. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing assistance. He is very profe...ssional, open and honest throughout and about your whole process. I hope I won't need him again, especially for the type of case I had, but if I do I would definitely allow him and the firm to represent me again. It was a pleasure Mr. Tribble and I hope continued success for you!

Thorough, effective and a winning lawyer

I am a practicing lawyer in the Washington DC area. We retained Mr. Tribble to assist our daughter. He was excellent, thorough, fully understood the system, and was ultimately successful with a very difficult and challenging situation. He communicated well each stage of the proceedings. We would r...ecommend him in a heartbeat!

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.
