My Highest Recommendation (Divorce)

I have had one lawyer who I truly respected and trusted... she is now a judge. I now have another! Outstanding professional. I am very familiar with the processes for divorce proceedings. I was representing myself, but I do recognize my limitations. When I felt I could not keep emotions out of t...he process I knew I needed representation to ensure I was protected and not taken advantage of based on my feelings. Mr. Thompson was recommended to me by a friend. I immediately felt a connection. Mr. Thompson was meticulous, precise, and concise, Attributes I look for when dealing with legal issues. Mr. Thompson listened attentively, and we mapped out the course action we should take. He recommended and arranged for mediation to resolve the division of assets. His experience during mediation was immeasurable. He ensured I stayed focus on the end game which allowed me to keep my emotions in check. My divorce was finalized based on a mutually agreed mediation of assets and divorce. I highly recommend Mr. Thompson for your legal needs. His cost was more than reasonable. The results "Outstanding!"

Highly Recommended!

I was a little apprehensive when looking for a lawyer to assist me with my divorce. I initially planned to attempt the divorce on my own, and had already begun the process when I contacted Mark. He was able to meet with me in his office very quickly after our initial contact, and was amazingly flexib...le with my schedule. Mark really took the time to talk to me, listen to my concerns, and offer his counsel. I am so glad that I chose Mark to handle my divorce! His rates were very reasonable as well, which made the process even less stressful. I really hope that I am never in the needs of his services again, but I would highly recommend him to anyone that does.

Divorce Representation

Mark was a great fit for me. He was very good at keeping me calm through the entire process by keeping me informed and be honest and transparent through the process. I also could afford his prices, and his payment plan and methods of pay were very fair. He also help me through: financial discl...osures, restraining orders, alimony, child support, division of property, and my retirement benefits. Recently, he aided me in resolving my Survivors Benefit Plan issues with the military pay system at DFAS. He is quick, thorough and returns calls. He's a keeper and an asset to our family.

Fast, efficient..everything you want in a Lawyer

I never write reviews, even when I'm pleased with a service. However, I remember how nervous I was about finding a good attorney, mostly worried that I would be taken advantage of when it came to fees and billing. If I can help someone else in a similar position, then it is worth spending a moment to... write this review. Like most people, my natural disposition towards Lawyers is to not trust them. I've never needed legal help before, but had to get an attorney to help resolve a legal matter related to my recent divorce. There are a lot of options on the internet for lawyers in SA. I picked Mr. Thompson because of his background in divorce/trusts and the many positive reviews. I am very pleased with his guidance and resolution of my legal matter. His fees were reasonable and there were no unexpected or hidden fees. I would hire him again in a second and I highly recommend him.

Vey Good Attorney, Reasonable Price

I hired Mr. Thompson to represent my brother during a time when he was unable to appear in court for himself. He had been looking for his wife a few years when she purposely avoided being served divorce papers. Mr. Thompson was able to get their divorce granted without any issues, or either party bei...ng present. He kept in contact with me on a regular, frequently updated me on the status of the case, and also stayed in contact with my brother as well. Throughout the time he worked for us, he sent statements showing the account balance of retainer fees. He was always polite, and straight forward.He gave us a initial consult over the phone free of charge. There were no hidden fees for emails or correspondence. I recommend him to anyone.
