Mark Mcentire Childress

I was fortunate to find Mark at such a tough time in my life. It felt like my world was crumbling down and I was in desperate need of legal advice. He was very knowledgeable and gathered all of the facts before laying out the best options for me. In such a time of grief it is easy to get carried away... with anger but he was very logical in his guidance which led me to making decisions that would best serve my long term interests. I am very pleased at how I came through my divorce and was able to move on with my life. I could not have done that without the legal help from Mark. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of a divorce lawyer. He genuinely cares about your needs and works hard to fight for them.

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!

As I find these reviews it compels me to write one myself. Mark was my attorney about two years ago. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. From the very beginning he was up front with me about there never being a guaranteed outcome, however throughout my case he worked hard to get me the bes...t results possible, which he did. His office staff were always pleasant, and they were all very professional. I can't say enough good things about them! It upsets me to see these terrible reviews and I want people to know the good things about Mark and how many people have been helped because of Mark and his staff. I hope that this will help people in making a wise decison to hire Mark! If he helped me in my messy divorce, he can help you too.

I am in tears writing about this attorney and never have done a review before but... I just cannot let any other person/family go threw what mine has gone threw. I will first start off with he has stripped us of our life savings, we are a younger couple and are starting out new in life together so le...t's just say $10,000 plus dollars is a lot for us when we could have used this money else where. He has left us financially upside down, without and custody/visitation rights to children, emotionally devastated and frankly scared of attorneys and judges!!! This was supposed to be a pretty common easy case as Mark claimed, he met us on a Saturday and things seemed fine gave him all the money he asked for upfront. Went to the first hearing didn't go as Mark stated then of course he wanted more money to proceed which was paid. Went to a mediation which was awful oh let me add on our day of court he doesn't have you get to his office a little to early to prep and prepare you of what to come no Mark does that when you walk to the court house out of breath and loud passing busses and cars drive by. So back to the mediation nothing is worked out by either side so Mark states ok we are at a zero balance now what we can do is move forward with a trial and I want to get this one particular judge but.... Doing that I need another $5000 so we go home think about it called his office few days later with some questions I will not say names but she states oh I am not sure I will get back with you well she never does so about a week goes by after few calls to his office she finally calls back and first thing she says is by the way Mark says you have an outstanding balance and in order to move forward you need to pay that plus the $5000 so we go back and fourth over payment Mark stated last week I had a zero balance... Well you can never get a straight answer it's always I'll have to get back with you with this one particular woman. Make a long story short here Mark then stated he was dropping me as a client for non payment so not knowing what to do court coming up I need an attorney I paid him biggest mistake ever! He never did what he said he was going to do in court!!! He blames me as to why the court was not favoring him. Well the real facts are he doesn't really care his heart isn't into his career he is all About being and playing the part of a rich pretty boy attorney which he does do that well. His office is a mess they never know what the heck is going on you constantly have to remind them I felt like I was the attorney I gathered information and paperwork at the end I kick myself wondering why I even got an attorney. I am in such a mess and have zero I mean zero Time with my beautiful children which is killing me. I had to hire another attorney and she cannot believe the mess Mark allowed my to be in!!! She also states why didn't we show up to court on such and such date well..... Answer is Mark never did, he said he was billed us for it but never did! Needless to say I am the type of person if I have bad service or bad taste in my mouth I just look away and never go back but with Mark and his office I have to warn others... We are taking about lives and families here. Please please please look elsewhere do your homework I did not and I am severely paying the price and now I can't afford to dig myself out of Marks mess with a real attorney!! Good luck we didn't have any!!
