BEST EXPERIENCE WITH AT LAWYER

My wife and I hired Mark Childress based on word of mouth. And, I am extremely pleased we did. The outcome could not have been better. Mark was upfront when it came to questions. He never beat around the bush. Nor did he over promise and under deliver. (Which is very common among lawyers.) Let me jus...t say the cards were stacked against us. But Mark came thru with the best possible results. From my family to your's Thank you Mark. Awesome job. Will send countless referrals.

Excellent

So happy that I used Mark for my divorce. He was very good at explaining every detail to me which helped me feel less worried. It went according to plan and I was divorced in a short period of time. Can't say enough how happy I am that he made it so easy for me and my family to get through this tough... time in a civilized manner. I would recommend him to anyone who needed a family law attorney!

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.

Happy Boy, Happy Life

My husband and I hired Mark as our lawyer for my husband to adopt my son. I received a call from Mark within hours and he quickly moved forward with our case. I not only got updates from his office but Mark himself. Mark made sure every detail was met and completed by the book and we didn't miss any ...steps for the opposing party to come back in my son's life. It was long journey but our outcome was worth making sure every 'T' was crossed and every 'I' was dotted. We have a very happy boy and our family is now legally complete. Mark helped us with every question we had, we are pleased with him and his effort.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

  • 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.
