Mark Leroy Means

I highly recommend Mark. After reading all of the other 5 star reviews on Avvo I decided to give him a call. He was patient and answered all of my many many questions. His rates are extremely fair and he is very knowledgeable in his field. I'm glad I can add one more positive review to his profile. ... Thank you for all of your help, Mark

I was involved in a car accident. None of which was my fault. I had never been in this situation before, never even been in an accident before, let alone thinking I needed a lawyer for one. Mark told both my husband and I that we would have nothing to worry about. Months went by, we didn't worry abou...t anything. Come to find out my bills started getting sent to collections because he wasn't worried about them either. I ended up paying most of the doctor bills out of pocket, before any settlement was made. Mark made me email him the same documents multiple times because he had lost track of them. I called ALL of the doctor offices/hospitals every month giving them updates on my case. Mark never called any of them, until it was time to settle and then he was calling to find out how much money to send them, which he kept telling me he would talk them down on the amount owed...and he didn't! When I asked Mark questions about how things would pan out in the end close to settlement time he explained to me that none of the side things that I had paid for and none of the side things that he had paid for would be taken out of the settlement, it was simply Mark takes 1/3, the bills get paid (whatever I hadn't already paid) and I get the rest.....That is NOT AT ALL how it turned out. . He charged me for mailing things and making copies of things. This man ended up taking home more money, doing nothing, than I did, after spending 4 days/nights in the hospital, missing work - 6 mths recovering, paying bills up front, calling ALL of the doctor offices myself, and not being able to take care of my family...How can this man sleep at night! I asked him over and over again for a copy of my contract and he would never send it to me. He told me that normally he has his clients come into the office and talk over the accounting aspect of things, nope he sent a check in the mail. With one sheet explaining where all of my settlement went. He took his 1/3 PLUS fees for this and that and the other....NOT A FLAT FEE!!! By this point I was upset. I called him and texted and never any response until about a week and a half later, I get a letter in the mail stating that his offices sees my file as closed, along with that was finally a copy of a contract. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! He is trying to be a one man show and doesn't juggle very well. I was NOT at all impressed. I did tell Mark close to time to receive the settlement that I was happy with the results...I got my full policy amount, which I could have done on my own. Lesson learned the hard way.

I hired Mark at the beginning of one nasty custody battle, and am so glad I chose him! I wasn't sure I was making the right choice, or even how to go about choosing a lawyer as the whole experience was new to me, but Mark quickly put those fears to rest! He talked me through the whole process, worked... with us on payments, and helped talk me down when I was getting too heated by things. In the end we were able to file for default thanks to his attention to detail and knowledge of the law, and were granted what we had only dreamed of! Mark was amazing, and I'll be sure to use him for any kind of legal matter I have in the future!

Unfortunately I had to seek out a lawyer for custody reasons. This, as you can imagine is an extremely difficult process. I found Mark Means and hired him immediately. He was genuine, but straight to the point. He was very clear and precise throughout the whole process. He was very reachable with any... questions that I had and wasn't afraid to take the time to explain everything in detail so that I felt comfortable and involved. I felt he genuinely had my best interest and was a great advocate on my behalf. I would highly recommend Mark Means with any legal issues you may have.
