If you're looking for the right lawyer for you, stop looking. You've found him!

Seriously, I know that title is cheesy, but its truth! So glad I came across Mark Lane when I did. Could not have asked for a better lawyer! If you want a lawyer that really knows his law and doesn't just say what you want to hear, this is it. Mark was very honest and upfront about his opinion of my ...case. Im glad he wasn't one of those lawyers that just says what I want to hear just so he can get my money. I had the privilege of meeting his beautiful (inside and out) wife, Debra. Such a sweetheart. Gave me great encouragement when I was feeling down. The whole office just has a great energy that I didn't know a law office could have.

Mark Lane : Responsive and Trustworthy

Mark Lane Is currently helping me with a case and from the first phone call, he has been extremely responsive. I spoke with he and his office staff and received counsel the day I needed it. Mark's knowledge of the law has been very helpful. I highly recommend Mark Lane as a lawyer.

Something positive at a very difficult time

Very happy with Mark Lane and his law firm. Everyone in the office was very knowledgeable and helpful. He sat down with me a couple of times for council and what I could expect before I made my decision to proceed with Mark & his firm. He & his wife took time to get to know me personally and my s...pecific needs. Mark did an excellent job representing me, gave me good advice which I followed even though I may not have liked it, he knew what was best for me in my situation & what would result in a speedy & less costly divorce. He gives his personal cell phone number so there is no problem contacting him with any questions at any time of the day.

Overwhelmed by how good this attorney was to me.

Above and beyond my expectations. I had already been through one horrible experience with a BAD attorney in Fort Worth. Mark Lane was patient, informative and very honest with me. He let me know right up front what I was up against and there were no easy answers to my situation. My divorce was awf...ul from day one. The child custody issues went from bad to ridiculous. Mark helped through the process. He allowed me to come to his office and spent a lot of time explaining every issue. He didn't charge me for the weekly office visits which I needed just to stay sane! He even prayed for me when I was there. I spoke to many other clients while I was in the office and everyone seemed to have the same opinion of Mark Lane. His office staff was knowledgable in every situation. They always called me back when I had questions. I have read some of the reviews on this site and they must be people that are just bitter from their own divorces because this attorney was different and truly a good guy. I would recommend him to my own mother. Even my ex has since told me he would recommend him!

Mark Lane is the lawyer that gives lawyers a bad reputation

I used this law office for my divorce. Mark talked and sounded very confident when I first met with him. After I signed on, I got pawned off to someone else in his office. I never got any communication or any of my questions answered. I was actually told by his assistant that them simply communic...ating with me required them to charge me and they were actually doing me a favor by not returning my phone calls. Mark demonstrated his incompetence throughout the whole ordeal, he screwed up my divorce decree, omitted or forgot simple things, ignored what I specifically asked to be included in my decree and I had to file a complaint in order to simply get my bill. If you used him and had a good experience, congrats you are one of the lucky ones. Mark made it perfectly clear that all he cares about is the money in your bank account. Do your homework.
