He is abusive and irresponsible. He got angry with me for asking a question during a break at my custody trial and got up and said, “I’m going home-represent yourself if you’re so smart!” Unconscionable!

Condescending. Surprised he has not been reprimanded by the bar.

Mark is the best divorce and custody lawyer in north Mississippi. I switched to him after using a non-aggressive attorney. He is a true Bulldog. YOU Hire him, pay him, and let him do his job. The people that have problems with him are the ones that try to tell him what to do. He is very busy because he is that good. I would recommend him to anyone.

Horrible lawyer. Low IQ. You want to loose your case and loose thousand, hire him. He will destroy your present and future beyond repair. He mismanaged my case horribly.

Very poor communicator, difficult to speak to him directly, appears offended for client to ask questions. Condescending, rude. Not worth the money he costs. Would be looking for another lawyer if we weren't already in so deep.

Unapproachable, rude, condescending. Thinks nothing of telling clients they are ignorant,etc. No professionalism. Clients who have questions or need directions offend him. He threatens to fireclients. Poor communicator- when you are able to reach him. Too far invested to change now- otherwise he would be history.

I hired Mark Shelton, because the lawyer I was using wasnt working out. I was actually referred to him by a person who had lost a case against him. I hired him for a divorce and he was kind and he worked very quickly and aggressively. He was very straight forward and to the point, but he knew the laws well. I had no issues being able to communicate with him. I have recommended him to at least 3 people since. I would recommend him to anyone.

After dealing with a different attorney for a year, I switched attorneys and chose Mark due to hearing nothing but high praise for his work. I had heard he was a "bulldog" when it comes to winning a divorce case, and I would agree. He is very knowledgeable in law, and knows how to put anybody in their place. I really didn't have to do anything but sit back and let Mark handle everything! I would highly recommend Mark for anyone seeking a divorce....unless you want to waste a lot of time and money!

Mark worked two cases for me. Could rarely talk to him directly and if I did manage to get him instead of his receptionist he was rude. on one occasion he sent his partner for a meeting who knew nothing about my case and put me at a complete disadvantage with opposing counsel. do not give this jack a** a dime! he is only out for the buck and dosent care about the client at all.

Worst communication I've ever had with ANY professional. He represented us on two cases spanning 3+ years. First case seemed to go okay, but I'm afraid that's only because we were new to being in court and litigation. Mark only did the minimal amount required and never gave us notice ahead of time on important issues. Additionally, the "opposing" lawyer wasn't very knowledgeable or driven. For the second case, Mark basically just showed up and winged it with information from the previous case. This time the "opposing" lawyer was very knowledgeable and represented his constituent well. The other lawyer picked apart Mark on many issues including a terribly written court order which was quite embarrassing. He's a smooth talker but don't expect any help from this guy. You're basically on your own. We kept Mark for the second case because of his familiarity from the first. In hindsight that was a very poor decision on our part. You will get much better representation for your money elsewher
