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!

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!

Don't Be Fooled He Talks Big Delivers Nothing

This has been the worst experience of my life Mark Lane added to my Fears instead of fight for me I would call and ask questions and tell them that I was afraid that he wouldn't do what he should for me. They acted like I was bothering them instead of reassuring me. They never returned my calls he ev...en pushed me off on another lawyer that was worthless. I wouldn't even recommend him to my enemy. He will make you think he is going to do everything for you when you go into your first meeting after that I didn't hear from him or see him no calls nothing! All I got was a message telling me when my court dates were. I would call crying they would promise to call me back then never call me back. Don't waste your money cause that's all he cares about is taking your money for doing nothing! Try to get your spouse to hire him then you will be sure to get what you want without even trying Mark Lane will make sure that your spouse will lose!

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.
