Mark L. Medley

Mr Medley has been a Godsend. He is professional, direct, extremely knowledgeable & experienced. Unlike so many attorneys He’s also compassionate & understanding. Throughout my case he made sure I was informed, understood his plan, the TX family code laws & how they applied to my situation. I was ver...y anxious & nervous that once again my ex’s deceiving ways would prevail as it had done in the past. Mr Medley’s expertise & recommendations relieved that anxiety, I had absolutely no doubts, he was completely prepared, I knew at last I was in good hands! In court, Mark Medley’s technique was outstanding, his presence immediately authoritative & commanding. My Ex had no intention of paying child support for our daughter, he (& his atty) had gone to great deceptive measures to avoid it. Mr Medley proved this beyond any doubt. The judge agreed: ruled in our favor! temp CS, back CS & attorney fees!! It was an awesome feeling! - Next, Mediation, thanks to Mr. Mark Medley, I’M NOT WORRIED!!

First time dealing a lawyer and Mr. Medley forever put a bad taste in my mouth for the legal profession. I approach Mr. Medley about my case to fight for standard visitation of my child because my ex lived in a different state. On the first visit he presented himself as a very knowledgeable professio...nal and assured me that I had a good case. Once the retainer money was handed over it all went down hill. Mr. Medley and his office failed to keep me inform about my case on multiple occasions. When you schedule a meeting with him @450/hr he always assures you things are ok but when they truly are not. Mr. Medley pushed for my case to go to court and did not even mentioned mediation as an option until I brought it up. I ended up settling on an agreement with my ex without mediation and no courtroom time. The retainer fee was 4500, after all was said and done and his office calculated the time used only a couple of hundred bucks was left from the retainer fee. And till this day i have not seen it. I contacted his office multiple time but they claim they are under construction and do not have access to my files. Please be warned this a VERY unprofessional lawfirm and and lawyer. I was better informed by my ex's laywer if that tells you something.

Mr. Medley sales pitched me to get the retainer and told me I had a great case and this "wasn't his first rodeo". He told me the initial meeting was free (another way to get me to pay) and then charged me for it when I fired him. He then didn't return calls or emails and his staff was rude and unpr...ofessional. Once he realized I didn't want to go to court and settle outside of court, he stopped caring and told me that my case was a lost cause and I should prepare to pay the maximum to my ex-spouse. He communicated with the other lawyer without my knowledge or consent on decisions that I should have been a part of and then told me that he communicated with me. When I fired him he took a week to get me the final bill so he could nickel and dime me. I filed a grievance with the Texas Bar but is was denied and the local San Antonio Bar office was of no help. Mr. Medley is an unethical, unprofessional and untrustworthy person.

Medley is currently working my case and I have to say he gets things done. Upon taking my case, it was in such disarray and very well underway (5 years of litigation underway). Right away he started cleaning things up, setting hearings and didn't mess around with opposing counsel who dragged their fe...et on everything. I think people need to understand, that their case is not the only case being worked on. When it mattered, Mark contacted me and kept me informed in a timely manner. The relationship works best when he's not being micro-managed which I understand so I do give him time to return calls and/or emails. We talk on a weekly basis and I also work well with his paralegal Lori. We talk over case strategy and he really makes me feel like we are a team. He does cost a pretty penny so if you don't have at least 10k to put down, you may want to look elsewhere. I will tell you that I'm very happy thus far. We will see how the custody hearing goes so consider this review To Be Continued.....

If you need a divorce lawyer or any other disputes such as child custody or child Support Mark Medley and his staff is the team you hire without a doubt. Mark and his team will work their hardest to ensure you have the best chance in getting the results you want. From the beginning Mark listened to... my concerns and what I ultimately wanted out of my divorce. As a male I initially felt it would be impossible for me to win the right to establish primary residency (primary custody) of my child. My ex-wife had done an excellent job of smearing me and having me arrested on false accusations. In the beginning of my divorce my ex-wife had primary custody of my son and even the court ordered psychiatrist who completed the social study recommended that my child remain primarily with my ex-wife. This was one of the biggest obstacles to overcome. But, Mark knows how to focus on the details that matter to ensure you get what you want out of your divorce or child custody dispute. During my child custody trial I was amazed how much work he puts in. We would exchange text, emails, and phone conversations well past midnight during the 12 day trial. That’s what you can expect from him. I would not hesitate to hire Mark and his staff again. Because of Mark I was able to win primary custody. His legal expertise is second to none and he is the one you want on your team.
