Sterling Attorney

My grandmother once gave me the best compliment I have could ever receive. She called me sterling and said it was the greatest compliment you could ever give to someone of the highest moral character. As I do not consider myself to be sterling, I am continually striving to be sterling and perhaps on...e fine day I will achieve it. However, after she gave me the compliment, I contemplated her words. A lawyer’s job is not always glamorous. Along the same lines, I love justice, but most people do not want to see the wheels of justice move. Though the wheels of justice do move, great judges ensure that they do effectively, but they tend to move slowly, and with a lot of legal maneuvering along the way. If a rational and reasonable judge believes you have a case, they will ensure you will eventually get your day in court, but this process takes time and patience. When that day comes, Mark Braswells Law Firm will strive to ensure you are as prepared as possible for your day in court. Selection of an Attorney is as important as selecting a crib for your baby. You don’t want to go cheap on something you safeguard your precious childs life with. However, if people’s riches are judged by the people they positively touch, Mark Braswells firm will strive to be the richest firm in the world. If you throw a penny into a calm lake, you will see small waves ripple from the point at which your penny hit's the water. For every action, there is a reaction. Mark Braswells actions have a reaction. Mark Braswell wants actions to have positive reactions in your best interest, and the community. Trust is a peculiar thing. It can take a lifetime to build and one silly or innocent mistake to lose it. Once you have lost it, it is hard to get it back. Mark Braswell will strive continually to create and build, and maintain trust in the San Antonio community about what is the right thing to do in your best interest, and under all circumstances that effect you and your life. Aristotle once said, “(We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit).” Excellence is not achieved over night. Mark Braswell will continually strive to be excellent in all endeavors that are in your best interest. He will do this by asking questions about the client’s needs and concerns, and listening carefully to their answers, and working hard to solve those legal problems and issues. I believe everyone is capable of immortality. It is a different kind of immortality than going to heaven when you die. I believe we see people who have passed on in the good work and lessons they pass on to other people and how they in turn pass it along to the next generation. Mark Braswell will strive towards immortality. He will always try to teach valuable legal lessons to its clients and encourage them to pass lessons learned along to the next generation. It is my privilege and distinct honor to have retained Mark Braswell Attorney at law, to represent me In my divorce, and custody battle of my three children. I would consider him as my grandma would say, he is in every sense an STERLING Attorney.

100% effective! The peoples Lawyer

I was referred to Mark while pursing gaining custody of my children. After having a not so good experience with another lawyer in San Antonio, Mark was a breath of fresh air. He made me feel like I was a client, not just a person with money coming in. When I needed to talk to him, I talked to him, no...t his staff, which is so helpful. While prepping for court, he made sure I was on my "A" game and we as a team, gathered witnesses and prepped evidence. This man can charm anyone. He's a true gentleman, but has a switch that he uses to switch to lawyer/bulldog mode in court. He can be forceful when needed and can be charming when needed. He was able to do the unimaginable for my children and I. It's not very often a male wins custody of children, and even more seldom to see a male in the military get custody. Mark made sure there was not any other options. He's my lawyer now. His staff is small. so I didn't get lost in speaking to paralegals. His law clerk is second to none. No one wants to hire a lawyer because of costs, but if you NEED to hire a lawyer, Mark is the guy you want to hire. He'll make you feel like a person, and fight as hard as you want him to.

Excellent Rating!

After yet another false CPS complaint was made against me, I found myself in a very intimidating courtroom. All the professionals were greeting my ex husband and I felt so alone. When Mark entered the room he never left my side. I felt the entire mood of the court change immediately. I knew at tha...t moment I chose the right attorney. Not only was my case dismissed quickly but I am confident I will no longer be plagued with future complaints. My children and I can finally be at peace.. He is prompt and very focused, and I recommend him highly. I was proud he represented me, and it was wonderful to observe him work so effectively.
