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.

Mother of a daughter going through a divorce

Please don't waste your money on this money-hungry attorney. He will continue to ask for more money and never give you a respectful representation. When he drains your bank account and you finally realize he's taken you for so much money, he'll withdraw from your case and will never refund you your... hard-earned cash.

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.
