The lion of Jonesboro

Thank God for Mr Rees and my paralegal Miss Lauren. For their hard work in preparing for my trial. When my trial finally started; Mr Rees kept me informed of what the situation is and what the prosecutor was planning three times. Folks if you are in need of an attorney; you need to call Mr Rees. He w...ill fight for you.

The BESt lawyer in Jonesboro hands down!!

Mark is by far the best lawyer in Jonesboro! He represented me in my divorce and got even more alimony than I imagined. He told them he would go to court and fight for everything I deserved and more if mediation didn't produce what he thought I deserved. I got my house(he had to pay off), vehicles(pa...id off), I/2 of 3 different retirement accounts, a big alimony check every month for the rest of my life, child support, everything in my home,. My ex walked away with his clothes and his boat. He will fight for you every step of the way!! So if you need the best... Give Mark Rees a call, you will not go wrong! He is very honest and works hard for you!

Good Christian Man

I was referred to Mark threw a friend ....upon calling his office to set up a consultation briefly speaking to his receptionist I was put directly on the phone with Mark. I was shocked that he actually made time to speak to a potentional client on the phone without myself ever being an established c...lient of his or ever meeting him. Mark was very pleasant and very helpful. Although Mark thought it was best he not take my cause due to personal conflict of knowing the defendant in the matter. He was up front with this information and compassionate with my sisuation. Mark could've fully declined to help me and that would've been the end of our conversation but it wasn't......Mark went on to refer me to three different attorneys that he thought would best fit my needs and interest . Before the end of our lengthy conversation Mark was very kind in saying that if I should need anymore guidance or help in anyway for me to please call him back and he'd do what he could to assist me without taking my case. He also assured me that our conversation was strictly confidential and reassured me that he would not speak of it to the defendant a personal accuquiance of his. Ive had plenty of experience dealing with attorneys in family law but I have to say that Mark was an exception of most......he did not charge me a dime for his time ( over 20 mins ) and was very forthcoming with helpful and ligitatment legal advice. He steered me in the right direction 100% and I have full faith Mark will be good on his word if I should need to call him back for further advice. I'm confident that if I should need Mark in future law issues he would be my first and only call. Marks actions showed me he's loyal , honest and dependable and mostly compassionate of basically a strangers sisuatiom and not all about making money on my bad sisuation at hand. Thank you Mark Rees......

Wow

I keep getting kicked out of this so I'm going to try to make it short and sweet I meet mr rees in his office . he came across as a very kind man. With a professional manner that I enjoyed speaking too .so friendly very professional as was his staff he representing me in a DWI case on the 15th and Ja...ckson county he came over and showed up looking very professional very prepared himself . but anyway he maked quick work of the prosecutors case. the prosecuting attorney was clearly know real compilation in this case and didn't even seem like he should have been the same courtroom with mr. Reeves I don't know if they're prosecuting attorney's about the same level as the one here in Jackson and I don't know if its always this smove. better I don't think you could go wrong using this law firm . as I said before very, professional very caring seem to be hard working and knew the case better than the prosecutor for sure . I and never worried he made everything look easy and now I have no charges and no no DWIs on my record so of course that makes me very happy just give him a call best of luck
