A Very Satisfied Client

I was referred to Mark by a friend who recently went through a divorce in which Mark was the opposing lawyer. His experience through the divorce process was that Mark was far my informative and knowledgeable with his ex-spouse than what he received. I found the same with Mark and always felt very c...omfortable through the process. I would not hesitate referring Mark to any family or friends believing he would be as reassuring and competent as what I found in working with him.

I consider our case (my case) a HUGE SUCCESS and couldn’t have asked for a better “end result” than what Mr. Thompson delivered!

Mr. Mark C. Thompson is THE MAN! Outstanding Levels of Service and A+ Results at as fair of a price as you can find! I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Thompson and having him as my lawyer in a tricky Family Law battle with my Sons Mothers. I was scared about what I was facing and the e...ntire “court situation.” I knew nothing about the legal side of the fence and had sought out Mr. Thompson after hearing some positive things about him to represent my case in San Antonio. Long story short; Mark Thompson IS THE MAN!! He walked me through everything at a pace I needed, he made me feel comfortable with what we were doing and our plan for the future. He was very knowledgeable and extremely thorough and provides a level of service/results that you would typically expect to receive at twice the price. He gives as good of a service and as high of a level of results as one can imagine at a tremendous value and I would NEVER use any other Family Law Attorney again, other than Mark C. Thompson! I consider our case (my case) a HUGE SUCCESS and couldn’t have asked for a better “end result” than what Mr. Thompson assisted in delivering!! A+ Recommendation

Mark Thompson is an excellent Family Law Attorney, highly recommended

I contacted Mark about handling my divorce case, that was to be filed in Comal County. Even though his office is in San Antonio, he made the commute to represent me. Not only did he help me through a very difficult time, by being a voice of reason, but he handled my case with the best professionalism... that I have seen in the court systems. Mark is very knowledgeable, will not mislead you on possible outcomes, and will defend your case with all aspects of the law. He requires a retainer fee, although this is standard, he will return any unused portion that is left over, when other lawyers will keep it, or create "bonus" phone calls or paperwork to burn the remainder. I am sure that I will hire Mark again, and I have already recommended him to several people already.

Great lawyer for a bad sitation

He did wonderful for my kids and I. He was very dedicated to making sure that my kids and I would be taken care of after 11 years of marriage. He knew exactly what the state regulations were and he fought to get us everything we were entitled to. He drew up the papers and then we (my ex and myself...) were able to sign and settle out of court. He let me know exactly what the steps were, as far as getting a divorce in the state of Texas, and told me what to expect each step. I was pleased with the outcome. I have already referred other friends who are going through separation.

Mark Thompson is friendly and fair, two characteristics that are in direct contrast to the lawyer stereotype. In my case, he was easy to deal with, highly knowledgeable, honest, and seemed to generally care about me as his client, instead of just working for the money. Mark handled both sides of m...y divorce, working with my wife and myself. Even though he made it clear that he was my representative, he treated her with respect and fairness, which was something I wanted when I sought legal representation. He suggested a proper course of action when necessary and guided both of us through the divorce process. He eliminated much of the pain and anguish I have seen my friends go through during their divorce proceedings. I feel that anyone who does not sign on with Mark is making a mistake. If you have a need for an attorney, this is the man you want in your corner.
