Mark Mcentire Childress

BEWARE!!! This law firm is a scam. At first they did their job, but once I realized they were overbilling and I asked them about it, I received a $300 bill for an automated response that didn't answer any of my questions. Then they said they were terminating me for non-payment after I paid them the o...vercharge and I asked them if they were gonna continue my case. Thend I was billed nine hundred dollars for asking. I've been charged over four thousand dollars only for them to leave my case unfinished, a simple case, no children and no spouse around to object anything. I'm out $4000 and left with an unfinished case. If you're looking for a lawyer that you can speak to and willl keep you informed about your case, then this law firm is not for you. They will charge you hundreds for any question you have even about them being incompetent and overcharging. They lied to me about what they bill per hour, and i was told it wouldnt cost much more than $2000 for the divorce, boy was that a lie! IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A DIVORCE LAWYER, LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! I advise you not to waste your time and money with these scammers. If you have been scammed by this law firm, contact the bar association and the better business bureau and file a complaint

This law firm is a complete scam, they take people’s money and do nothing. They do not respond in a timely manner, if they respond at all and nickel and dime you for everything. This is not normal! Please anyone considering this firm think again. They truly need to be looked into by the bar associati...on and law enforcement for their tactics. They mishandled my grandfathers divorce and he has now had to hire a different law firm to take care of the mess they created. When reaching out to other firms they even mentioned how many complaints they have heard regarding Mark Childress. I thought Rick Mitchell was better when he took over after Sarah Robbins but turns out he is not it’s all a facade. He puts a good face on but he’s just as bad they are all crooks. Their security guard at the Dallas location is a joke she is a huge uneducated individual that is disrespectful and only there to try and scare paying customers away, because once you pay and retain them you are not allowed on the property, in what world is this normal? Desiree is also a mess and the communication amongst all parties is a disgrace. Please do your research and do not fall victim to this firm. Even having to give it 1 Star is an overstatement.

My experience with this Firm was extremely disappointing. Upon hiring them, I paid a retainer fee of $3,000 for assistance with my straightforward case. I clearly communicated to the firm that I only required help with the Final Decree, as all other necessary forms had already been filed and appro...ved by the court. The task at hand was so simple that even a paralegal could have handled it. However, they assigned Brenda Colon to my case. Surprisingly, instead of focusing solely on the Final Decree, which had already been prepared using the official county court form, the firm took it upon themselves to resubmit the exact same forms that were already completed and approved by the court, without informing or obtaining my consent. I only became aware of this unnecessary duplication of efforts when they finally decided to speak with me on the phone, long after the fact. Their explanation for this baffling action was that the new documents "looked nicer" than the official county court document. To my dismay, they essentially did nothing for me, yet they charged me $1,825 for work that I had already completed myself. Given the simplicity of my no-contest case and the minimal work required, it is evident that they attempted to maximize billable hours by engaging in unnecessary actions, such as duplicating paperwork that did not require resubmission. These actions were completely unwarranted, conducted without my knowledge or consent, and offered no benefits whatsoever to me or my case. When I discovered what they had done, I immediately terminated their services, demanded that all work be ceased, and requested a refund of my funds. However, to my dismay, they continued to bill me and even charged an additional $212. To date, I have not received any reimbursement from them. In my opinion, they should refund the full $3,000 for their failure to provide adequate assistance and their blatant disregard for the best interests of their client. I was taken advantage of and they did not look out for my interests.
