Mark Christopher Lane

He was a terrible attorney and I regret retaining his services for my divorce. He couldn't even finish handling my divorce before he withdrew his services. You have to leave a credit card or bank account on file with him so that he can charge you whatever he wants to without even sending you an invoi...ce. He doesn't do anything that he says he's going to do. You cannot ever contact him. He does not act in your best interest. He doesn't request discovery from the other party. He tries to shortcut and rush through Mediation trying leave out all of the important issues that must be addressed. He tries to force you to sign the Settlement Agreement even though your ex showed up to Mediation with his bank account balances written on a piece of paper and no inventory listing all assets and liabilities. Then he turns around and withdraws from your case because you wouldn't agree to another botched Mediation and charges thousands of dollars to your credit card without an invoice.

I was told my case was easy and that it would be resolved in 3 months for around $3000, it took over a year and triple that cost to get a resolution, which I finally had to demand happen in mediation or I would still be waiting for another rescheduled court date and be paying him for doing nothing. N...ever failed to take my money on time every month, but never returned phone calls or emails- but they sure charged for them (also, never dealt directly with him- it was always office staff and paralegals)....and when I requested my bill it took them 4 months and 8 phone calls to get it to me, conveniently exactly when my final payment was due.

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.

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!!
