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

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.

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.

GETS THINGS DONE

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.....
