Mark Leroy Means

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.

My husband and I set out to find a lawyer that would be able to vocalize for us in his custody case. I happen to run across mark means, and decided to read about him, learn his experience and also ready reviews about him. Although there were some that I didn’t not like we decided to hire Mark. In the... custody case my husbands concerns and wants regarding the kids, were stated very clearly to mark. Mark used his experience to explain to us how it was most likely going to go. That we could up with more or less when it came to the custody of our children. We retained mark at 5000$ and to me it was well spent. Mark made sure that all the paperwork was filled out properly, any questions we had were answered in a timely matter. I do not want to get into the details of our case because it is private. But mark was very professional and we wanted what was best for our children and we got it. I would recommend Mark because If we need him as our lawyer again we will hire him.

Mark was quick to return my calls and set up meetings to discuss my case. He was calm and professional in the court and made things a lot easier and stress free. He worked diligently and helped me understand all my options. I'm very pleased with the outcome and I would gladly hire Mark again if neede...d in the future.

I hired Mr. Means to write a cease and desist letter. Since I live out of state he said to write such a letter would cost 350.00-500.00 because it takes time to put it together. He instructed me to send him the necessary emails, which I did on July 20th. I have Mailtrak on my gmail which lets me k...now when my emails were read. Mr. Means called me from his office on July 31st and had not looked at any of the emails. He was trying to write the letter while he had me on the phone asking questions. I kept saying please open the email that stemmed my having to hire an attorney in Idaho. It was useless. He sent me the draft with multiple errors including the date of an incident, he also had many run on sentences and misspelled words. I revised the letter and added the necessary corrections for his review. The next day he sent me the same letter without ever looking at the revised version. I pointed out that the letter was the same with the same mistake to which he responded to by telling me he sent the wrong file. I looked at mailtrak and saw he opened the email with the revised letter 2 minutes before sending the old version again which told me he never read the revisions. I then asked for him to reimburse me and he said he would but never did. He wanted me to give him my address that I refuse to do since I don't trust him - I have everything documented in texts and emails and thank god for mailtrak which doesn't make this a he said she said. This lawyer is dishonest and I would not do business with him. I have filed a complaint with the bar that I am certain I will prevail on. Shame on you Mr. Means for how you conduct yourself. Shame on you!

When the time came to look for an attorney I had no idea where to look or start. During my search I luckily found Mark's profile and I am so happy I did. Upon reading his amazing reviews I was certain I chose the right one! Mark is a straight shooter and very supportive. When in doubt he was always v...ery clear to me about what steps needed to be taken and made me aware of my options. He was very responsive to text/emails during this sensitive time and guided me through. I didn't think I would be able to settle my custody case as soon as I did but Mark made that happen for me and also made sure I got everything I asked for. I didn't feel like just another case. He fought for my daughter and I and I truly felt he had our best interest at heart. He thought of things to bring up or fit in to my custody arrangement that were beneficial to me that I didn't even think of. I would hire Mark again down the road if I ever needed a lawyer. He is intelligent, trustworthy, supportive and punctual. Because of Mark I have my daughter with me and that's all that matters!
