If your looking for a good divorce lawyer, this is your guy. He got me every thing I wanted and he made it look easy.

I'm posting this at 11:30 PM October 25th. Sometimes I have a hard time sleeping at night because I lay in bed and think about how this man completely ripped me off. I gave Mark Lane $8,500 yes that's correct 8 thousand 5 hundred dollars for a custody case. I showed this man numerous and numerous texts and calls of my daughter mom being completely insane sending me and my family death threats. So then when it's time for court I find out that he is great friends with her lawyer and basically just took my case for the money and never even tried to fight for me. I paid Marl Lane $8,500 and he wanted more, that's all he was worried about. ****DO NOT GO TO THIS GREEDY MAN****

I am not going into detail. All I can say is that in my opinion he isn't even worth the one star. I have two friends that hired him, paid tons of money and regret having him as their attorney. He did not do them any favors. Read all the bad reviews on him and believe them.

Mark is an ass! But a HIGHLY recommended ass! Who the hell wants a polite attorney? Grow up. He’s brutally honest and quick with his answers. He cuts through your bs and your opopnets. You’d be a fool not to hire him.

Be careful they make up a lot of fictitious charges. When you try to terminate their services and they say they’ll call you the next day, you call back a week or two later and again they tell you they’ll call back. Guess who’s paying $40 for each of those phone calls? And you’re paying for some of the worst phone etiquette you’ll ever run across. If you were able to marry and have babies with a person you can put your egos aside long enough to have a civil conversation and agree on circumstances. Then just go divorce for $200 online. This needs to be a dying industry. That’s all.

Mark Lane is finishing-up my divorce case. He has been a true professional. I’ve read so many reviews here that put him down for a number of things - not returning calls, not getting what the client wanted, etc. If I may, I’d like to offer perspective on these things, based on my experiences with Mr. Lane and his office: First, some background. I’m finalizing a divorce where I ended up losing an animal that was so very important to me. My wife chose to use my dog as a ploy to hurt me during this divorce process, and I will no longer ever see the little guy that helped me keep my sanity on many dark and horrible nights. Having said that, Mark also negotiated a settlement for me that keeps my head well above water financially in a time where I most need it. What I’m trying to illustrate to you is this: I lost something precious to me during this divorce. It kills me emotionally. However, it’s not Mark Lane’s fault. I have a role to play in how my life turns out and I accept my portion of responsibility for my marriage and its outcome. It’s true that it can be difficult to reach Mr. Lane. However, and this is my personal opinion, Mark is not the kind of attorney that is a hand-holder or a coddler. Make no mistake, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care about you or your case. But it does mean that for some folks, his no-nonsense, let’s-just-handle-this approach, can be off-putting. If you need someone to console you constantly and hold your hand, I’d suggest finding another attorney. However, and again this is my opinion, most of those attorneys that are hand-holders are also the ones that may tend to tell you what you want to hear. Why? Because divorce or any family law situation is excruciating at best. There’s simply no way to predict what you will get and there’s nothing good about the process. The best you can hope for is to survive and come out a better person on the other side. It’s your life. You have to own the good, the bad, and the ugly. Don’t ever expect to pay someone a sum of money to simply make your problems go away. If you can understand that, you’ll never find a better attorney. To sum up my review, I wanted to say “thank you” to Mark Lane and his staff. I wrote this review so that others who need an attorney - the best attorney you can get, in my opinion - would know Mr. Lane’s style and his abilities. And, frankly, I felt it necessary to provide a sense of perspective on all the bad reviews he has received.

All I can say is this firm is exactly why the Law Industry has such a bad reputation.

First off let me start by saying Mark Lane did his job and I was divorced within 3 months. He did what I paid him to do and all the while he was pleasant and helpful every time I spoke with him. However his staff is a whole other story. They were helpful when I had questions or concerns for the most part. I paid my entire retainer off about a month after I hired him which was August 2017 in Sept they drafted my checking account $400. When I called them they said they had forgotten to take me off the list for the payment plan. Ok I understand that, I told them just send me a check. Well the check took almost two weeks to get to me, and mind you I am now a single mother raising two kids, $400 is a lot of money to me. When I received the check it was a signed BLANK check. Not even my name was written on it. I’m a honest person so I called them and they said just make it for $400 and cash it, which I did. (How does that happen??) So here we are in December and AGAIN they debited my checking account another $400 on December 20th, just in time for Christmas. This time when I called I was pretty upset, and told them this was unacceptable and I needed my money back ASAP. The girl I spoke with was not very apologetic and stated the computers were down so there was nothing at that moment they could do. She was suppose to call me back the next morning, there was no call...I had to call them. I have called a few times and you could tell they were sick of hearing from me.....so here it is December 30th and I still do not have a check in hand. Oh and they stated they had taken me off the list the first time it happened, well I guess they did because I was not debited in October or November but I guess someone needed some Christmas money because it happened in December....just a thought! 🤔🤔 So the 2 stars are because his staff kinda sucks. Thank you girls for making my Christmas so special! 😡😡

I used Mark Lane in 2009 he was an awesome make it happen lawyer.I was fighting for my 3 year old nephew that was not in the best place at the time.My nephew is 11 years old now straight A student in gifted and talented classes. I owe that to Mark he did everything he could to get us custody. THANK YOU MARK! Every lawyer out there is expensive, and charges fees here and there.Call around your looking at $5000 plus for any lawyer to help you. my advice to you is to call around and get pricing on different lawyers, and see what they're going to do for you. Then call Mark ,and see the difference in what his prices are ,and how he's going to fight for you. Mark might be a little more expensive but he's going to get more done for you. Good luck to all that are needing a lawyer right now may God bless you, and be with you. May he hold you in your time of need.GOD bless!

Years ago, I hired Mark Lane to defend me in criminal matter. Being young and naive about the system, I lucked out in being referred to this attorney. The cases were dismissed by the judge, thrown out for lack of evidence in Tarrant County. At that time, he was just starting out in his career so I can only imagine how much better of a lawyer he is today. I am sorry for all those who have negative comments. All I can say is you have to be absolutely, brutally honest about every detail with the attorney you hire. You hire him to be on your side. Do not leave out any details that can hurt you in court. Grateful my life was not ruined at such a young age, thanks to Mark Lane. No felonies on my record.

Mark Lane is a Christian man that provided understanding and relief during a difficult time in my family's life. I've used him several times and continue to use him today. I refer people to him when given the chance. Thank you Mark for being so great at what you do!!!
