MARK MEDLEY.. Worth every penny & then some!!!

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!!

Beyond AMAZING!!!!

My case last from 2012 to 2017. It was very exhausting and awful, My ex husband and his wife tried effortlessly to cause my sons harm while my then current husband was dying from brain cancer. Note: My ex husband did not have a visitation order(on purpose). It was a long case, I was very emotional..., and Mr Medley was amazing.....he wont hold your hand BUT I promise if you see him in action in the courtroom he is AMAZING and his reputation follows him! I have a son with autism and he now has lifetime childsupport, my ex husband did not accomplish any items he set out to do.He has no visitation, and has to pay reinbursement of health insurance and half of all private school tuition. In full trial Mr Medley was able to pick apart his entire case! He is AMAZING. We did not start this case by any means....it was done to cause me harm...BUT Mr Medley made sure I was taken care of!! And compared to my ex-husbands attorney fees, Mr Medley was only 1/4th of the cost. I can not say enough wonderful things about Mark Medley. Let me add when the OAG finally enforced the excessive amounts of child support owed, my ex husband hired another pricey attorney who tried to tear me apart. I was told after the OAG hearing by multiple attorneys "Mark Medley trained you well"! I was able to stay calm and kept redirecting all the questions back to the matter at hand "Only child support"! Again, Mark Medley is AMAZING in trial in the courtroom....you would rather have him on your side than against him!!! Especially if you have a child with special needs!! I dont see the stars to rate him but definitely 5!

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.
