Great Attorney

I would highly recommend Mark as your family law attorney. I hired him for my child custody case. He is very knowledgeable and very well liked in the courts. Marks demeanor, compassion and confidence as a lawyer eased my mind and anxiety about my case. I was stressed and worried about my court d...ates, but Mark took the time to explain in detail the process that would take place. Mark always responded back to my questions in a timely matter. He is an A+ in my book.

Mark M. Childress, Family Law

I needed an attorney who would stand up for me and my child during a very hard time. Mark was there to answer every question, every phone call and did it in a way that I felt as if I were his only client. He was very knowledgeable not only about the law, but about the opposing attorney and the judge.... He prepared me well and we won our case. I would recommend Mark Childress to anyone who is fighting for custody or in need of child support.

family law court

Mark childress is currently my lawyer. My sister is sueing me for custady of my son christian. I battled with drugs for about a year and a half and my sister cared for my son during my battle of addiction. I am now 9 months clean. Almost a year clean and mark has been nothing but helpful through my b...attle. We just went to court and Mark got me over night stays every other weekend with my son. I have faith that mark will get my baby boy back into his mothers arms where he belongs. Mark is trust worthy, he is upfront with what money he needs to pursue your case and he doesn't mess around When it comes to my son, mark knows where my son needs to be and I believe he will do everything in his power and fight until my son is back with me. His mother.

Wrongful termination

When my ex tried to terminate my rights to my only son in 2012, I was distraught. I am so thankful I found Mark at the time I did. He was so determined and NEVER gave up or settled for less than the best. Finally after all of the battles with my ex we won. I know he gave it his all and put in a lot o...f time and effort for me and because of that I'd say he's the best attorney in the Fort Worth. He is awesome in court and he knows his stuff. Which is very reassuring when it comes to losing your kid! I am so thankful for him and always will be. If I ever need another attorney he's my guy!
