If you are looking for a great lawyer, you found him.

I retained Mark after having a very awful experience (very costly too) with another attorney. His office is very timely, very professional and caring. My court/mediation experience went very well and I highly recommend his services. He knows his business well but is also a good Christian man. Look no... further if you need a good family lawyer.

The best thing I ever did!

Mark is my new go to! I found him on facebook and decided I would give him a try after meeting with two other attorneys... Right after he met with me his assistant called and said we are filing on your divorce right now do you know where we can find your husband? I was like dang that was fast! Here c...omes the war I thought. Nope. Mark had a sit down with my husband and all was well! Referral Referral Referral!!! Thank you Mark

Run!!!

I hope to save someone the nightmare that I experienced with this attorney. Completely disrespectful, and unprofessional. Mr. Lane does not realize that he works for his clients, not vice versa... He will sell you up front on results, but will not deliver. After paying my retainer I had a very hard ...time getting a bill from Mr. Lane so that I could reconcile work actually performed. Three months later I did receive an outrageous bill. My retainer had been used completely, and I had a bill for another $5000.00. Absolutely no results whatsoever. Just save yourself the time, and hassle by moving onto an honest attorney that will work on your behalf, not just run up your bill. I finally fired Mr. Lane and hired someone that delivered the results that we were looking for, and delivered those results for about 20% of what Mark Lane was trying to charge!! Yes, that's right 20%! Run far and run fast!

Awful

We had a case that we hired Mark to assist us with. He told us that since we were a returning customer he would work win us on the billing and give us a break. We only worked with Pam on the case. We showed up to court to find it would be undisputed due to the opposing party being a no show. We filed... the papers and updated custody with the clerk and they charged us $5500. They billed us for Ike having to call to find out when the court date was. They even billed us when we called about discrepancies with the bill. Their office personnel are incompetent. Nobody should ever use this firm. With the amount of family law firms out there, Marks firm should be passed on.

Thats how its done.

Lies, Cheating, A FREAKING SECOND FAMILY! I guess I was desperate for a woman that I missed the signs for CRAZY!!! She tried to twist everything around saying I was the one cheating and hurting her. BS! I found out she had another family on the way. She was planning to leave me anyway. I went to Mark... for a consult I walked out cause I didn't believe he could do it. I found out he was wolf in court! He took her down so quick without me losing anything. He is definitely the one you want.

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.
