Modification

I made more than my sons father while were dating. Sure enough he thought when he broke it off he was going to get child support and custody of our son. At first i thought there is no way hes going to get anything and my son. Some how he convinced his attorney I was a horrible person. Then they took ...my son and made me pay support. If it were fair I would pay it. But I have my son all the time and I was paying for him to go and party and enjoy himself. I thought it was set in stone. Until i googled it and marks name came up. I got a consultation and he made it all the way it should be. He made him pay for my son. Mark got me the modification that was much needed. I love my son and am so happy I have him back and am not having to pay for someone else to do what they want without responsibility.

YEAH!!!

Dead beat dad wasnt doing nothing for his daughter and I wasnt having that! No girl should grow up with a father that doesnt love her. Mark felt the same way he made sure my daughter knew that he was fighting for her. Now i have full custody and he will be helping. If it wasnt for mark my family ...wouldnt be where it needs to be! Youre the best!!!

Do not get this guy

I have been locked in a custody Battle for almost a year now. As a single father in Texas I knew my chances were slim, Mark Lane and his paralegals gave done nothing to reassure me. I only met Mr. Lane at my court appearance which he showed up to THREE HOURS LATE. And they have this nasty habit of ne...ver answering your phone calls but they still charge you $150 for calling them. Possibly the worst attorney ever, they are just out to make a buck. The only time I hear from them is when they want money but when I have a question about my case I am all alone. Don't get this guy folks.

Replied last February 03, 2015

It is very common for the layperson to mis-understand how hearings work. I show up at the courthouse and check in for multiple hearings. The client often waits extended amounts of time, but they are waiting on the judge, not the attorney. As to the issue of answering our phone calls, I give every client my personal cell phone number and my email address. Clients have access to me 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I often spend my nights and weekends answering clients questions. I'm well aware of who "Bill" is and can contest these complaints with documented responses. Unfortunately, Bill you don't always get the outcome of your case that you would like and often clients get bitter and choose to blame the attorney. They don't want to take responsibility for their own circumstances. It's a misfortunate aspect of the business I am in. God Bless.

Custody case gone wrong!

If you are looking for someone who will make sure you aren't taken advantage. Marks your guy. I was told over and over that I was gonna get my butt handed to me because I'm a father trying to get custody of my children. Sure enough mark stomped that junk right out. My boys deserve to be takin care o...f and not pushed to the side. Mr. Lane you have my utmost thanks!

Thank you, Mark Lane!!

I am so thankful that I hired Mr. Lane for my custody case. In what was a difficult time in my life, as well as the lives of my children, Mr. Lane (and his staff!) did what they could to make it easier. They handled my case in the best way I personally think it could have been handled. Obviously case...s like this are going to be hard emotionally and financially, but I found his rates to be better then some others I had spoken with before hiring an attorney. I would highly recommend Mark Lane. Thank you again!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
