Frauds

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.

Great service

Mark Childress has always come through for us. He helped us with 3 adoptions and he also handled my sister’s divorce. He does great work at an affordable price.

Hire him

I would recommend Mark over and over again to anyone looking for an attorney for custody issues (and I’m sure he’d be just as good at any other family law issues as well). Mark is responsive, has a great reputation in the courthouse and will work hard to do what’s fair for you given your situation. L...et’s be honest, being in this situation sucks but Mark takes the worry out of it all because he is always well prepared and you can have confidence to know it’s being handled diligently. Thanks for everything, Mark!

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.

  • 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.
