Law Offices of Mark M. Childress

Don't use Rick Mitchell, and I didn't have a great experience with Mark either. Rick was careless, and I can not tell you how many times he forwarded or responded in error for one of his other clients, with personal information and case details. Rick did not show up with a computer on the day I had mitigation, and left me with another attorney I had never talked to in my life when he drove home to get his computer. Please avoid this firm. They should not be allowed to practice law

Great experience with Haylie Davis representing a family member. She is a fighter for the best interest of child.

This is an update to my previous review. After not standing by his word on how much a non contested custody mod would be, they wanted me to pay a $750 trust deposit. At that point I decided not to continue with them. I could not get a response back directly from Mark as to why he told me what he told me. They agreed to terminate our relationship because I left my previous review. Then they proceed to charge me another $1,250 to close my case PLUS the $750 trust fee. It seems as they think their clients are stupid. I should not owe that trust fee. I recommend anyone and everyone who has had a bad experience with this firm to contact the Texas Bar as well as the BBB. Mark did eventually respond to one of my emails but all he did was copy and paste their policy. They hide behind their "jargon". Mark is not a man of his word. Not sure how they have gotten positive reviews. The positive reviews must either be people with plenty of disposable income or have been persuaded to write them. I will for sure be contacting the Bar and the BBB.

This law firm was very honest. In a lawyer I believe honesty is the most important thing. After the initial consultation you won't get to speak with Rick much but his aides are very helpful considering the circumstances. He was ALWAYS there and ready for a hearing. I'm definitely hiring and recommend this firm again.

Willing to work with the needs of his client. Mr. Mitchell puts forth a strong moral effort. As a nervous father going through this legal loophole nightmare, there is an abundance of doubt in trying to trust someone to help. Mr. Mitchell continued to prove his ethics throughout. And then, after a while, you try to contact him for more help and his secretary decides (from her memory only) that you were a few thousand dollars behind. Which usually would not be a problem to debate, except this firm does not give out the traditional receipt of what is owed and what is due....making any changes they wish to make indisputable. And then you are stuck once again - with no lawyer.
