Seventeen years ago was my first experience having Mark as my lawyer. Before Mark I had been living in a battered women's shelter with my children, going through a very long and rough divorce, but with a decently good lawyer that the shelter offered me. Then my attorney from the battered women's shel...ter became ill and I was without a lawyer. I went through two other very bad lawyers before I was referred to Mark. Mark was my saving grace. He is like a hammer in the court room and very protective of his clients, in addition to being extremely knowledgeable of the law. Through the last seventeen years I have called on Mark as my lawyer when needed, and referred him to many different people; family and friends. He has always done a great job for myself and those I have referred him to. Mark is the "Superman" of lawyers who is well respected, extremely knowledgeable, and a very good person. If you have ever had a bad lawyer, you know how important it is to have a good one. He is one of the good ones, and the only one I trust to be sitting next to me in the court room as my lawyer.

So I promised an update so here it is! I retained Mark in Feb 2015 and we just finalized mediation today. In a mere 7 months, Mark reversed a terrible custody arrangement that had been in place for almost 5 years. He's truly the best money I have ever spent. He's aggressive and he is EXTREMELY knowle...dgeable!!! He is very well respected within his industry. Mark will shoot you straight about your case and he is reliable and trustworthy. He's amazing!!! He's truly the best attorney in San Antonio.

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.....

Mr. Medley took on my case after it was decenlty underway. He gave me much more confidence in my case than my previous attorney and started straightening out matters right away. Because of his experience, he is not easily shaken by attacks of the opposing party, which is very helpful. I would have ...liked to see more availability and more preparation before the custody trial as far as the witnesses went. My best friend wasn't even sure who was questioning her when she was put on the stand, so her testimony was very choppy and hindered (she thought she was being questioned by the opposing party and was hesitant with her information). I also feel that the asked for geo restriction (should the jury vote FOR a restriction) should have been more broad, but I am ultimately pleased and am still in contact with Mr. Medley. He is busy, so be prepared to assist in your own case where possible, but he does know what he's doing, so definitely would recommend.

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!
