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.

My original review posted by Mike in 2012. This attorney has changed his original response that stated “the court did not act in the best interest of the minor child” to trying to save face and lie about me. Yes he claimed a conflict of interest with my spouse. There may have been. However that ...is no excuse for mishandling my case. My daughter attempted suicide requiring medical attention and hospitalization after this attorney handled my case. I was Active duty military at the time of the case (since I have retired). And he not only took multiple thousands of dollars from me I. Fees he has not once tried to apologize for the irrevocable damage that his office caused my daughter nor me. Absolutely run from this attorney.

I hired Mark , for a divorce it was a costly horrible divorce that because of reconciliation off and on it lasted approximately 6 1/2 yrs . I payed Mark thousands of dollars over that period of time - divorce can be costly and if you want prime rib and all the fixens then you gotta pay for it . O...k here it is , (1 ) I could of changed attys anytime . I’m a retired cattle rancher ( hands on ) and retired airline pilot - and I don’t take crap off anyone and if I do - I have to sure respect them . Mark will tell you … “Shut Up and listen !” When its needed … he will call you ask how you are when you have surg and ask if you need anything?and mean it - He will listen when your discouraged at the same time keep your skin thick because divorce isn’t for the weak . Yes … I had very heated discussion with him when I didn’t agree - all but once that I remember he was right and I was not quite right . That’s what I was paying him for ! I didn’t need a lot of bedside manner - I wanted to open and maintain a can of Whoop A.. and he did but smooth flowing just enough and he cooled my jets when needed ( often ) . If I called .. he answered , if I needed to ask a question he answered it - sometimes he told me … “let me work …this is costing you $” ( when I was over managing ) he’d tell me “I got this . “ I used mark to pound the beach with the heavy artillery soft up the enemy and I mean nobody gonna mess with you in or out court house if he’s your atty … seriously ! It’s been yrs now since …. I got the divorce :) I was going through my phone and saw his number .. texted him and just as when I was paying him thousands $ he answered my text and he’s there if I need .. I’m telling you I’m sold - I’d hire him again - I like him as a person and I like when it comes to him as my atty I could look away and he’s got it . He’s better as a leader / teammate than your opposing counsel so hire him and listen , he’s got it ! just let him work !!!!! RG

Best family attorney in the state of Texas!! Mark was simply awesome and professional he got me the results I want it in a very timely quick manner! He was very professional and direct but sweet with me he got me the results that I wanted whenever I wanted them and exactly what I needed!! He was the ...best Attorney I could’ve ever asked for! Thank you Mark!!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better Attorney! Do not believe in a bad reviews on him not for a second!!

BEWARE! Find another attorney…I believe Mark Lane is Bi-polar. Just read the reviews…just a crap shoot if you get the “great” lawyer or the lawyer who works for your ex…RUN PEOPLE RUN!! Ps. Not giving name because I’m not going to let him comment and attempt to justify his poor behavior…shame on yo...u Sir!
