Child Support Assistance

5 Stars I worked with Mark briefly to help my granddaughter get child support arrearages from her ex-husband. We had several discussions on the topic and Mark was very responsive, thorough and professional. I felt he could have gotten us a positive outcome, however we did not engage his full servic...e because my granddaughter moved out of state and her ex-husband also just left Texas so we had to engage a lawyer in the state in which they now both reside.

Highly Recommend Mark

Mark and his staff were so pleasant to work with throughout my case. In such a difficult time it is easy to take your frustration out on the wrong people and Mark was so patient with me. He had my back 100 percent and helped me get custody of my daughter and get her out of a bad situation. I can't im...agine the outcome if I hadn't found Mark and I am forever thankful! I highly recommend him!

The only attorney you should call

Responsive, honest, upfront. These are the things I think of when I’m asked to describe Mark. You want to know the facts of your case and hear the truth? This attorney will not lie to you and tell you what you want to hear even if it means you’ll be mad. I’m thankful to have had such great representa...tion. Was always quick to respond and keep me informed on everything. If you need someone you can trust to keep your rights safe, here’s your guy!

Glad I hired him

Mark helped me out in a bad time in my life and I'm thankful for his guidance and knowledge. He was available and had a solution when I called. My son is doing much better and is happy thanks to Mark helping me get custody of him. If you want an attorney that is honest and available then Mark is your... guy.

Excellent

Creative and punctual on child custody case. Mr. Childress took time to understand details of these matters and identified several avenues to explore in efforts to get custody of my girls. Very fair and honest with high standards fueled by integrity and dedication. After a few short weeks custody sui...t was won, and much appreciated. More than pleased with this attorney.

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.
