A Hidden Gem

I hired Mr Pederson a little late in my case after my previous attorney said he could not help. Marc took on the case , acted quickly and without judgement stood by me and supported my decision and got the case to closure. Kudos to him . please don't look any further if you need an honest and ethical... divorce lawyer who will support you till the end

Best Kept Lawyer Secret in Bexar County

It's been 12 years since my divorce. Mr. Pederson was found on military.com when I could not even spell divorce and was not knowledgeable on the process. Fast forward 12 years, I am in a favorable mental, emotional, physical, psychological, and financial status. While those times during the divorce w...ere dark days, I was not able to see the white light at the end of the tunnel. Marc could though, and was at the helm. He assured me he knew military and civil service needs for typical clients. Looking back on my own situation where Marc gave it his all on my case, and also looking at other clients who did not fair well with their legal representation from other high powered firms, if I needed a lawyer again for future military or civil service unique needs, I highly recommend Pederson Law Firm without a doubt. Rest assured with this guy for military and civil service issues.

Highly Capable Family Law Attorney with Integrity

Marc, has been my attorney for over 10 yrs. During that period of time he has represented myself and my 2 special-needs sons (now young men) through every aspect of child welfare and support including my original divorce. He has been exemplary in every aspect of representing us including his knowledg...e of the law(s) and legal procedures and his interface with the Court(s) and Judges. His in-court trial skills are very good as he applies just the right and appropriate combination of knowledge, skill and experience to persuade the Court / Judge in order to gain the best outcome(s) for his client. In sum, Marc has been successful in every representation over these last 10 yrs in 3 court trails / Hearings and the many required legal actions accompanying those 3 trials and numerous other related legal matters. Perhaps the most important of all is that he has the integrity that clients should seek.

Right person to trust

Marc helped my family tremendously. I had a lawyer for child custody before, but that didn’t really work out the best. Marc went over everything with me and made me aware of my options. He made himself available when I had questions or concerns. Thanks to him I have full custody. It was a bit of a pr...ocess, but it was more than worth it. Without a doubt the best person to go to for these kinds of situations.

Highly recommended

Mr. Pederson is mazing to work with. I'm never blind sided by whats going on. I went into my custody case not knowing what to expect but was quickly put at ease. He went above and beyond. It's important that your attorney is on the same page as you and fighting for you and your children. I'm thankful... for having him represent my family.
