Posted by Arthur | December 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Relief and Satisfaction!

I am a Senior Claims Manager for a roofing company. Mark was actually a client that I provided a roof for. I had an ongoing Child Support issue. Once I found out he was a Lawyer I asked him for advice. At that time my legal issue weren't as serious. He gave me good advice free of charge. But a sh...ort time after, I was in a situation that took a nasty turn. The Attorney General's Office had set my child support at a fair rate, I thought... I was told we would have to come back because the mother wanted legal advice... when we returned, what was originally agreed upon, dramatically changed... I was facing the Judge. Instead of the attorney who was just used as a negotiator the other times I went there... from what they were telling me, it was sounding like I was going to be paying possibly double to tripe what was originally agreed upon. This would have had me deep in debt and most likely ended me up in jail, as it truly wasn't fair legally to my actual income. At this point I knew I needed a lawyer. Mark was the first person I thought of. Mark has a great approach of trying to avoid the courtroom, if possible. Although we did have to go into the court house, Mark had turned all my anxiety into relief very quickly. Days before my court date, with very little notice or much time for Mark to work with, outside of the courtroom, Mark was able to negotiate... First, with the Lead Attorney, at the Attorney General's Office, and then with the mother. He not only negotiated a fair and reasonable child support for me, he negotiated it in a way that totally satisfied the mother as well. Mark's price was fair too! He also has really worked with me on payment, because I was already in a pretty tough financial situation. Mark provided me with much needed relief and total satisfaction! He also is a great guy and easy to work with, which is an added plus. I would strongly recommend him!
