Mark Cantrell is an honest attorney who is easy to work with

Mark Cantrell is an amazing attorney. I will begin by saying he was a court appointed attorney, meaning it was almost working for free, however he worked on this case as it he was being paid on a normal basis. This client is mentally handicapped, however he treated him wonderfully well and he ended ...up with only 2 years probation. The ins and outs of this case were very difficult to stay on top of however, even with all his other cases, either he personally returned out call or his assistant did. I would have him handle any case I had that needed an attorney.

The best!! Hands down

I have him saved in my phone under best lawyer. I was referred to him by a former client who said he was the best. After having him represent me, now I KNOW he is the best. Hands down. I live in Atlanta GA and he represented me for a case in California and did a better job than I could have imagined.... Thank you Mark from the bottom of my heart. he really went to bat for me.

Excellent Attorney, Great Person!

Mr. Cantrell is an excellent professional with a wealth experience and knowledge. I was a juror for a case and Mr. Cantrell did a great job! He is also an outstanding member of the community. Thank you for your work, Mr. Cantrell!

Amazing Service and Great Expertise

Had a public intoxication charge, went to court 3times and was able to get it dismissed. Helped me through the whole process, if i called or emailed him he would get back to me in a timely manner and explained any question or concern i had in a very simple and clear manner. So thankful to have used M...ark.

Best Attorney

Mark has a firm understanding of the law and how the system works. He makes sure that his clients are among the first to see the judge so that they can get in and out of court and on with their day. His prices are reasonable and he will fight for his clients and I can't that for every defense attorne...y that I saw in court. I would recommend Mark to any and everyone!

Relationship: Co-worker

"I’m so delighted that Mark Cantrell is part of The KLF family. They demonstrate a commitment to delivering Peace of Mind to all of our clients that is truly awesome. Mark knows that our clients care about getting the best possible result, having the best experience of being represented, and feeling fought for and cared about. My ultimate test when hiring an associate is whether I would want them going to battle on my behalf. There is simply no question that when it comes to Mark, I would jump in a foxhole with them without hesitation."
