About Mark
Biography
I have been licensed since November of 2008 and my practice focuses entirely on divorce and family law.
Practicing family law allows me to represent real people and help them through a difficult time in their life. I do not represent banks or insurance companies. I represent real people with everyday problems. People who are going through divorces, people who are trying to collect child support, people who want to adopt a child, and people who are simply trying to see their children. I take great pride in practicing family law.
Each case (and client) is different. As your lawyer, my job is to listen to you, analyze your situation, identify the legal issues, make you aware of your options and the possible consequences, and then fiercely represent you once you have decided which path to take.
I am especially familiar with the issues that service members and their spouses face in family law cases, particularly calculating child support and dividing military retirement. I have represented service members and government employees stationed all over the world.
Some divorces are very nasty, but most cases are settled through negotiating. I am always prepared to go to court to fight for my clients. But going to court is not always worth it. If we have to go to court we will be prepared to win. But if we can work things out and keep the costs down, and still get my client a good result, so much the better.

Competent and efficient
I came to Mr. Thompson after firing the initial attorney I hired. Going pro se was daunting and I didn't have the time or energy to commit to that.

Personable and Professional
Mr. Thompson provided excellent counsel. He provided peace during a time of trouble. What stood out to me about Mr. Thompson was his unbiased and fair approach to the dissolution of my marriage.

Extremely helpful and efficient
Mark was very thorough and helpful with my case. He responded to emails promptly and is easy to access by phone. He made everything very clear and easy for me - I couldn't have proceeded with my case with such accuracy and efficiency without him. Wonderful attorney!
