Mark Leroy Means

He is a one man show. He is hardly available to answer questions. He did a terrible job on my divorce proceeding. He allowed the opposing counsel to file the temp order with bunch of errors, by not filing an objection in a timely manner. In addition he did a terrible job arguing 50/50 legal custody d...uring the temp hearing. My record is clean no drug, physical abuse, or any other cause that would have give the judge to give my ex 100% legal custody. He never responded to my emails and never answered his phone. That should have been a good indication that he is not a good lawyer. He counseled me upto the temp orders and when I finally fired him he sent me a bill for $14k. He was unable to get a hearing on the custody, again because he missed the deadline of filing an objection. Essentially if you want to pay an attorney 56 hours to go to one hearing and get you crappy results, he is the man for the job.

Hired Attorney Means to handle my high conflict (intimidating ex) divorce and custody. He got me more than 50% of the assets and less than 50% of the debts and primary care giver for my children. This is what I wanted and he nailed it! He does not promise unrealistic rulings but is straight to the... point, knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and never judged me! The definition of professional and courteous!

After being hit by a drunk driver that resulted in a medically induced coma, hospitalization and permanent disabilities, I consulted numerous attorneys in the Treasure Valley to represent me. Most of them didn't provide me with much hope or that they had my best interests in mind. After talking wit...h Mark about the situation I felt a little more at ease. Mark assisted me in dealing with the numerous insurance hurdles that most people aren't aware of. He was very upfront with the realities of what to expect, not the delusions of monetary grandeur conveyed in the commercials. He was very firm with all the insurance companies, keeping my best interests at the forefront. Always kept me in the know and timely in his correspondence. He has assisted me on numerous occasions in regards to simple legal advice/consultation. He never sugarcoats the answer to what I want to hear, which is comforting when dealing with the complexities of the legal system. I would use Mark again in the future if and/or when needed.
