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.

Highly recommended

Very professional staff, attentive and genuine. I was always kept in the loop of what was going on. I would highly recommend hiring Mr. Lane to handle your case. Very assertive as far as speaking with the opposing attorney.

UNRELIABLE...Nothing but a huge LETDOWN. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON MARK LANE!!!!

Everything that Bill said in his review previous to mine is right on. Mark Lane showed up one time to all my hearings. I honestly believe that he should have represented my husband, alot a like. He uses God and portrays to be a Christian attorney but I will assure you that he is anything but what he ...claims. He is all talk and no show. You get no phone calls back, nothing gets done, they lie and do not follow through on anything. I was promised things that never happened and it ended up worse. Mark had the nerve to not even show up to my mediation which I was yelled at, treated horribly, and fiorced to sign against my will. Im contiplating a lawsuit against his office. Ive worked with several attorneys and Mark Lane is by far the worst nightmare. He will sure continue sending ridiculous made up fees lol!!

This review is completely untrue in every single aspect and a lawsuit is being filed against this client. We provided excellent legal services to this client at every juncture in this case and provided these services at a reduced rate. As documented in the court records, unfortunately struggled with personal issues that most courts do not approve in regards to having custody of children. As with every client, we pray that she is blessed and is able to stabilize her life in a manner that benefits her children.

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.

Warning! Do not hire this man!

Mark Lane has to be the worst attorney in Ft. Worth. Do not hire him! He will never call you back, he will not keep you informed, he will act like he cares to get your business and then you will be pulling out your hair just to get information on your case. His staff will tell you they will call you ...back and never call! He reminds me of my husband who I divorced! You will feel the same way about Mark Lane! He will also give your spouses Attorney more info then he gives you. You will feel helpless and angry if you hire this man! He is not worth a penny find another lawyer especially if its your first divorce case you will feel like a complete wreck and helpless if you hire this man I did and even when you call over and over again very upset they wont care or call you back!

  • 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.
