Best In The Metroplex

Mark is an attorney that walks the walk and knows the talk. After meeting him in person I new in 2 minutes he was the attorney for my case. HE is agressive and a man of presence in the court room. He definitely has the skills to make the case in your favor. THE BEST ATTORNEY

Excellent Attorney

After having recovered from brain surgery and being laid off from my full time job, I was contacted out of the blue by CPS about two children in their care. I was claimed to be the alleged father. To compound matters, I was over 200 miles away where the case was opened. I immediately started searchin...g for lawyers in the area of the local district court. Mark Falcon’s law firm was at the top of the list in my very first search query. Within minutes of speaking with Mark on the phone, my fears were eased and my stress levels dropped. The case itself took almost a year to complete, but Mark worked diligently for me. He negotiated a very fair child support rate, got my visitation going almost immediately. We would talk every time prior to trial and Mark would explain exactly what was going to happen the next day, and word for word it happened exactly as he said, in court. I ultimately got sole custody of one of my children. Mr. Falcon was a blessing. Any client would be lucky to call him their attorney. When it comes to family law, I have no doubt that there is no better in the State of Texas than Mr. Falcon. Jason McCauley Houston, Texas

Best Damn Lawyer in Dallas Ft. Worth no Doubt!!!

When I reached out to Mark I was in desperate need. My career was on the line and I needed someone who could desperately save my livelihood. I was pulled over for a DUI in which my friend had left a bottle of Vodka in the passenger door that I was unaware of. The deck was stacked against us as the... officer who performed the test bragged how she had made over 700 DUI arrest and she had not lost 1 case. Her reason on why she had never lost a case was because she said she never makes a mistake and people plea guilty and take the probation. However, Mark was a pitbull in the courtroom. Locking in on their weaknesses and never letting lose. As a matter of fact I began to feel so embarrassed for the officers I was tempted to ask Mark to please be a little softer on the officers because I could tell they were getting irritated and uneasy having to answer for their inconsistencies. At the end of the day the officer left with a record of 700-1. Ours was the first case she had ever lost. I can't say in enough words what Mark's victory meant to me and my family. Mark's tenaciousness and pit bull mentality saved my career and I am forever grateful.

Making Dreams Come True

Mark Falcon is a highly skilled, highly professional attorney with many strengths, but the greatest of these lies in his ability to explain the trial process to those of us who have almost no legal training whatsoever. I had met with several attorneys before deciding on Mr. Falcon, and I can tell you... that I was not mistaken in opting to go with him. From the moment that I retained his counsel to the conclusion of the trial process, Mr. Falcon worked with me to ensure that I was fully aware of all of his decisions regarding my case from diligently and expertly explaining the current state of the law and its implications for my case to the tactical decisions that he made to keep the prosecution on its toes leading into the trial. At no point did I ever feel like I didn’t know what was coming; on the contrary, Mark made sure that I was prepared for everything, and surprised by nothing. It was this sort of devotion to his clients and his career path that really influenced me to become an attorney myself. I currently attend a Texas law school and am in the top 25% of my class, thanks in no small part to the first hand experience I received from Mark. I only hope that once I graduate and pass the bar, I can be half the lawyer that Mark Falcon is. You will not go wrong with him.

Better Than All The Others

Mr. Falcon is an exceptional attorney. My choice in choosing him as my attorney for my divorce and custody agreement was not misplaced. He was able to obtain an agreement that was fair for both parties. When I felt my world was falling apart, Mr. Falcon was my pillar of strength to piece it back toge...ther. He is more than an attorney; he's a family man that truly understands. I'm proud to say that he is now my attorney of choice for my legal affairs currently and into the future.
