Posted by Brandi Patchon | June 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

I highly recommend Mark Busby

I'm a single mother who desperately needed legal help protecting my children from a dangerous situation. Mark immediately contacted me after I reached out with the details of my situation and set up a meeting. From beginning to end, he was honest, efficient, and took the time to answer all my questio...ns never making me feel like I was a bother to him. Ultimately he was able to facilitate the changes I felt needed to be made in order to provide a safer situation- and this was not an easy task due to the other party being extremely difficult. I will always be grateful for Mark and the work he put in to help my children and I when we needed it.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
