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

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.

Your Search for an Amazing Family Lawyer is Over!

You cannot go wrong with Mr. Pederson--he is attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, compassionate, driven to get you results, resourceful, and walks you through the entire process step-by-step. I hired him for grandparent custody of my 2-year old grandson who was in a terrible situation after Child P...rotective Services recommended we seek custody through the courts. Mr. Pederson moved very quickly, ensuring that the safety and security of my grandson was kept at the highest priority. He is amazing and we will be using him for any future legal matters--we are clients forever! I highly recommend him to anyone needing navigation through the tricky legal system--Mr. Pederson is truly a God send!

THE BEST FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY IN SAN ANTONIO

Mr.Pederson is a fine attorney both in terms of knowledge as well as kindness. I sought the counsel of Mr. Pederson in my divorce case, and he was a blessing when I was at my most difficult time. He is very thorough in his work, unpretentious and kept me updated on the state of the case and answere...d all my questions, both via email as well as texts. His knowledge of the law is so profound, I am 100% sure , I couldn't have gotten a better attorney. If not for Mr.Pederson, my case could have gotten prolonged, and caused additional misery and pain. I'd recommend Mr.Pederson to anyone who is going through a divorce or seeking counsel on a legal question, or frustrated with their current divorce attorney to have a consultation with him, and you will notice the difference. Mr.Pederson was my third lawyer, after my 2 previous lawyers did not know how to handle the case. It was a huge relief, the moment I had my free consultation with Marc. Thanks Mr.Pederson for being there for me all the way.

Hard-Hitting Attorney

This guy is GOOD. Extremely responsive and devoted. What I appreciated most about Marc was his extensive knowledge in Texas Law and his aggressive approach at getting me the most power early on. He was able to get me full conservatorship of my son in less than three months! He is also very crafty at ...wording court papers for the benefit of his client. With Marc behind me, my ex had no chance. In a separate case I hired him for, Marc was able to get my daughter's deadbeat father's parental rights terminated without anyone else having to adopt her, a task NUMEROUS attorneys and even the Texas Attorney General Child Support Division office explicitly told me was not possible! Marc is confident in his professional abilities but not arrogant. He is the attorney you want representing you in your child custody case.
