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 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!

Won't find a better attorney

It's an oversight that Mark isn't rated a 10. I could not have asked for a better attorney. I have had a very difficult divorce/child custody case, and Mark has made the difference in making sure that myself and my children's wishes were represented and heard. There is no other attorney in Cookeville... I would want to go into court or trial with but Mark. He knows the law inside and out and has never let me down in the year and a half and many court appearances that he has been my attorney. He is a good communicator and also a compassionate person who honestly cares. A rare find. Thank you, Mark, for not only being a top notch attorney, but also a genuinely good person.

Top Notch

I cannot say enough about Mark for helping me through my Divorce and relocation trial. When searching for an attorney I wanted someone who would put my daughter first, and advise me in decisions that would benefit her. I hired Mark because of his beliefs, character, and background. He cared about m...y daughter and the effects this would or could have on her. Mark was always up front with me and explained every option in full detail before a decision was made. Mark is very poised in the courtroom as well. I appreciate everything Mark did for me and my family while going through such a difficult time.

Wonderful Experience

Mr. Tribble was always available and easily accessible. He was always very courteous and professional and kept me updated without my even having to call. Not only did he update me by phone but would follow up with a letter. He made me feel calm and like he really had things under control. Everyone... I met in his office was very polite and friendly. I never had to go to court, he was able to get the case dismissed.

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.
