Hired Attorney Mark D. Brent

I was originally working with a fellow lawyer at the the same firm. However, this lawyer, who was originally going to handle my case, recommended Counselor Brent when he became a judge. He knew that Counselor Brent would be the best for my situation and he was right on target. Counselor Brent and his team did a fantastic job from day one. I didn't have to constantly call to find out what's going on because I knew that he was on top of the situation and would notify me of anything that was important. If anyone is looking for a divorce lawyer who really cares about his client, then Mark Brent is your lawyer.

 
Child Custody

Hired Attorney Mark D. Brent

I retained Mark Brent to help me with a child custody case. From the very first interaction, Mark was compassionate, caring and straightforward. There was no sugar coating or telling me what I wanted to hear, it was simple honesty and what to prepare for. He made sure to explain all that could happen and the timing involved. Never once did I feel rushed when we spoke. Mark Brent's legal assistant, Heather truly follows Mark Brent's example of care and compassion towards the client, she was a dream to work with. Not once did I feel forgotten, pushed aside or uninformed throughout the entire process. I have dealt with many lawyers in my life and I will tell you, the only one I would recommend is Mark Brent, he is worth every penny. Thanks to Attorney Mark Brent, my son now lives with me, is healing and thriving.

Mark Brent assisted me with a guardianship matter. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, knew his way around the courtroom and had a very good rapport with the other attorneys and judge. His attention to detail is excellent. I felt that my case was handled with the utmost care and efficiency. His team provided excellent support. I will continue seeking his guidance in the future.

I didn’t think that the divorce process could be so smooth but Mark Brent and his team made it happen! I hired him in late January and my divorce was finalized mid-March. They handled everything and I mean EVERYTHING. They kept great communication through the whole process with me as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better firm to help me with all of this. Thank you so much!
