Mark is a standout attorney and person.

We are in the middle of a VERY difficult custody case. We’ve had poor representation in the past, so to say we were skeptical would be an understand. Mark has won our hearts and our endorsement. He is honest. He does not play games. He is an excellent litigator. He won an appeal for our case whi...ch has given us renewed hope. We believe him when he tells us he thinks we have a strong case. We can not recommend him enough.

Horrible!

Hired him to help in a custody battle. He told us he would file for custody for us and it was part of his fee but he never did and he only went to 1 hearing and asked for more money after he didn't even do anything. Please don't waste your money!

I am aware of the "anonymous" client that posted this review . Despite repeatedly warning my client about their behavior in the court room, the client refused to listen to my legal counsel. As a result the court’s ruling was not in their favor. Attempting to modify the court’s decision would have required additional services and filings, and therefore additional fees.

He was my voice!

As a man it is difficult to articulate that I needed someone else to be my voice, but I did. I was in a physically abusive relationship for almost 20 years. I am still embarrassed I allowed myself to accept her physical violence toward me. I cannot go back and change the last 20 years, but Mark and h...is office were the positive voice of reason to show me I could change my future. More importantly I could stop the violence for my children. He gave me my voice back!! He provided referrals for support, and counseling. He did not let me falter when I was weak, and if he was not encouraging me it was his incredible support staff. I often wonder if I had not been referred to him, if myself or one of my children would still be here. I will never be able to thank Mark and Family First for everything they have done for me, and my children. My ex-wife was forced into counseling, and required to maintain her medication. She can only see the children with supervised visits. What a blessing, absolutely a blessing.

An attorney with compassion

I had a child custody case that needed an attorney who understood the significance of keeping my children safe. I had other attorneys in the past, but none of them seemed to put time in effort in to my case. Attorney Eppley met me on a Saturday afternoon and by early the following week, documents h...ad been drafted. I felt like I could tell Attorney Eppley everything and he made me feel like my children mattered, as if they were his children. I appreciate his knowledge of family law and what he said the process would be lie, was exactly what happened. I am forever grateful for Attorney Eppley and will recommend my friends to him. Oh, and one other thing, he is prompt on returning phone calls and answering his phone even after hours.

Family First is an accurate name for Mark Eppley's firm!

Mark was phenomenal with the handling of my case and special circumstances. He truly allowed me to express what I felt the problems were with my previous attorney, listened and came up with effective, creative solutions, that the courts, and even my ex were agreeable to. Myself, and my children are ...so grateful for everything Mark and Family First has done for us. The relief I have received on a daily basis from having a plan put together that works is more than words could ever express. Thank you! I happily recommend Mark and his firm to my family and friends.

  • 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.
