Phenomenal Attorney!!!

Phenomenal attorney! After using Mr. Medley some years ago for a family law matter, it was a no-brainer to contact him again to represent me for my divorce. I’m very glad I contacted Mr. Medley’s law firm to handle this matter, because my simple divorce quickly turned into a very complex divorce, b...ecause of the domestic violence perpetrated by my ex-spouse. Mr. Medley and his staff were exceptional and stood with me every step of my legal process. He and his staff worked exceptionally hard on my case, as evident by the successful outcome. Mr. Medley and his staff are knowledgeable, professional, supportive, and compassionate. Although this divorce was a very frustrating and difficult experience for me, dealing with all the antics she (my ex-spouse) displayed throughout the divorce process, Mr. Medley always brought calm, understanding, and perspective to my situation. Mr. Medley and his staff skillfully worked through all the difficult family law issues, and navigated a successful outcome, while keeping fees reasonable. Without reservation, I highly recommend Mr. Medley’s law firm to anyone needing a skilled, knowledgeable, experienced, and competent attorney.

Mark Medley the Tim Duncan of the court room and the cream that rose to the top!

Mark did an exceptional job of getting the job done. Mark is well respected in the legal community and when a judge or his colleagues see him in court, they know he means business. Since all Mark does is family law for the past 20+ years, he is very good and experienced at it. When he makes a recomme...ndation to the court is taken with a little more esteem. Mark is what I would call a bulldog and in a divorce that is the kind of attorney you want. Mark knows the law, he knows how to try a case, and he knows how to win! Money well spent, thank you Mark!

Mark is a brilliant well established lawyer

Like many I never thought that I would have ever needed a divorce lawyer. During a very difficult time Mark not only become my lawyer but my advocate. He was strategic , responsive , incredibly well prepared and always honest. My divorce and custody agreement was favorable . Mark is a champion of fat...hers rights and I am appreciative of the work he did.

Best Lawyer in Central Texas

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.
