Highly Recommend Mark Medley

5 Stars – Highly Recommend Mark Medley! I cannot say enough great things about Mark Medley. From our very first meeting, he was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made a stressful situation much more manageable with his calm demeanor and clear communication. Mark was alway...s responsive, honest, and truly had my family’s best interests at heart. He guided me through every step of the legal process with confidence and care, and I always felt supported and well-informed. If you’re looking for a family lawyer who is both skilled and genuinely cares about his clients, Mark Medley is the one you want by your side. Highly recommend!

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

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!!

STAY AWAY and save your money!!!!

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.

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.

"I've known Mark for over 20 years. 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."
