Best Lawyer in town

I cannot thank Mark Medley and his team enough for their outstanding support during such a challenging time. Their professionalism, expertise, and compassion made all the difference throughout the divorce process. From the beginning, Mark took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my options cl...early, and guide me every step of the way. They were always responsive, keeping me informed and making sure I felt confident in every decision. What stood out most was his genuine care and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for me and my family. Thanks to his hard work and skillful negotiation, I was able to move forward with peace of mind. I highly recommend Mark Medley to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy divorce lawyer

Highly recommended m!

I was referred to Attorney Mark Medley, when I found out my spouse was cheating on me. He handle my case in a very sufficient and accurate manner. I was very happy with the attention he gave me when I needed to consult with him. He always took my phone call when I called or called me back in a timel...y manner. Then he also helped me with an adoption when my eldest daughter passed away suddenly. I was able to adopt my granddaughter. I highly recommend him as an attorney, if I would need his services in the future I would not hesitate to contact him again.

Great lawyer - thank you Mark!

I cannot recommend Mark L. Medley highly enough for anyone in need of a family lawyer. When I was facing a complicated divorce and custody case, I was overwhelmed and worried about both the outcome and the potential costs. Mark completely exceeded my expectations on all fronts. What impressed me mos...t was his combination of professionalism and compassion. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and clearly explained all my options without using confusing legal jargon. Throughout the entire process, he was responsive to my questions and concerns, often responding to emails and calls the same day. Mark's expertise in family law was evident in how efficiently he handled my case. He anticipated potential issues before they arose and developed strategic solutions that ultimately led to a favorable outcome. His preparation for court was meticulous, and his presentation of my case was compelling and effective. Perhaps most surprisingly, the final cost was significantly lower than what I had anticipated for such comprehensive legal representation. Mark was transparent about fees from the beginning, and there were no unexpected charges. If you're looking for a family attorney who combines legal expertise with genuine care for clients while keeping costs reasonable, Mark L. Medley is absolutely the lawyer you want by your side.

Should be disbarred due to ethics violations

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.

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.

In the many cases on which we've worked together, either when I've been opposing counsel or when I've served as mediator, I've found Mark to be consistently prepared and effective in his representation. He knows how to try a difficult case at the courhouse, but just as importantly he knows how and when to settle a case in his client's best interest. He's a good lawyer and an honest man; an excellent combination."
