Click to report rating    7/28/25   3     1     1     1     1   Earlier comments about Mark's lack of integrity and discipline are so very true. He intimidates his own clients, bullies them and seems to be stuck in the procedural side of the litigation, lacking any ability to think strategically; he is disrespectful, writes novels in his email responses which all lead to high legal fees with zero progress. $10K in charges and we are 6 months in from a simple court mediation and still do not have the Order filed - a CONSENT Order. He has no experience in managing high conflict cases, tries to play "kumbaya" with the opposing side, does not follow his Client's instructions and charges an arm and a leg for his exhaustive and long monologue speeches about nothing. He has no problem abandoning you when you need legal assistance most, because his vacation plans are a higher priority. He is rather insecure and will try to destroy you if you ever question or challenge his charges or recommendations. Stay away from this lawyer at all costs!!!!! RID: 273733
Click to report rating    5/8/24   5     5     5     5     5   At the outset of our divorce proceedings, I felt utterly hopeless. The complexities of the legal system loomed large, casting a shadow of uncertainty over our future. But then, like a beacon in the darkness, Mark Lancaster entered the scene. From that moment on, everything changed. Mark Lancaster wasn't just a legal expert; he is our rock. With his compassionate demeanor, he guided us through every twist and turn of the process. His unwavering support gave us the strength to face each challenge head-on, knowing that we had a true ally by our side. What truly sets Mark apart is his unparalleled dedication to our case. No concern was too small, no question too trivial. He was always there, ready to address our needs with promptness and professionalism. His responsiveness was nothing short of remarkable, a testament to his commitment to our well-being. RID: 269564
Click to report rating    8/14/23   5     5     5     5     5   I can only assume that the negative reviews are actually from people that went up against Mark and lost. Mark helped us find a workable financial deal with the most abusive, dishonest parent that you can imagine. He wasn't cheap and he dots his I's and crosses his T's but we finally felt like someone was in our corner. We have had peace for almost 3 years but the other parent is back to denying visitation and being verbally abusive, so we are seeking out Mark once again. RID: 266448
Click to report rating    3/20/23   1     1     4     1     1   Mark does not care that there are real people trying to come to an agreement. Mark will bully, harass, and lie to further your case, but at what cost? I spent more, and it took way longer than it should have. He has no professional integrity, does not fact check his statements, has no consideration for cost, and even bullies his own clients. STAY AWAY from Mark and his firm. RID: 264518
Click to report rating    12/18/21   1     1     1     1     1   He is a bully with no integrity, is dishonest, disorganized, aggressive and uses bullying and intimidation. Absolutely the worst. No care for how children affected. Shocking he is allowed to continue in legal system. RID: 231677

Click to report rating    10/8/19   5     5     5     5     5   Don't understand these negative ratings, must be people that aren't Mark's clients complaining. Not my experience of Mark at all. RID: 215168
Click to report rating    4/13/19   1     1     1     1     1   WEASEL, LIAR, BULLY, COWARD, NO INTEGRITY, MANIPULATOR, UNETHICAL, DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING. COMPLETE EMBARASSMENT TO LAWYERS EVERYWHERE RID: 210297
Click to report rating    5/28/18   1     1     1     1     1   If you want a lawyer with no integrity than Mark is your man. Disorganized, dishonest, and disrespectful. Uses bullying and intimidation to try to win. No concern for the wellbeing of children. Sad that this is allowed in our legal system. RID: 199945
Click to report rating    11/4/15   5     4     5     5     5   Best money we have spent was on Mark's advice. He is to the point, engaging, helpful and arms his clients with the knowledge they need to succeed. I've seen the previous comments and just want to say, we were given Mark as a personal recommendation from a family friend, he represented him in his divorce and fight for his kids (and won) - there is more than just us that feel he is great. Money is an issue for us, so he worked within our parameters to arm us to represent ourselves and all of his advice was spot on. He had to reschedule our initial consult last minute and because we had taken time off work, he met us on a Saturday instead to accommodate our schedule. His assistant Sonya is very helpful and personable, on top of her job. Best decision you can make is to contact him - if he can't help you, he will tell you flat out. He's upfront, direct and knows exactly how to word things so that they come out properly. RID: 161271
Click to report rating    5/4/15   1     1     1     1     1   Too upset and disgusted to even say anything about the mess he made of my file and my life, at a huge financial cost. RID: 153812
Click to report rating    2/4/15   5     3     4     4     5   I FINALLY have shared parenting of my three children. This wouldn't have happened without Mark Lancaster. I retained him when we were mired in an exhausting Application skirmish. I was ready to throw my hands up in disgust, but Mark convinced me not to give up and gave feasible options. He focused on my kid’s best interest and finding common ground. He built a rapport with my Ex that led to Mediation and resulted in the Order. Resorting to the courts is the failure of two adults behaving like children. You may win that battle, but lose the war. Divorce can be a horrifying experience, but that was not our children’s choice and they should never bear the brunt of it. And whether we like it or not, for the benefit of our children, we will have a relationship with our Ex’s for the rest of our lives. Mark, skillfully and with principle, helped me through the divorce process AND to build a constructive foundation for the next chapter. I am profoundly grateful – thank you Mark. RID: 149956
Click to report rating    10/8/14   5     4     4     5     4   He really understood the issues that were important to me and helped me resolve my divorce as amicably, quickly and cost effectively as we could. I get that these things are hard and take a long time, but I feel he really cared and tried to make it as painless as possible. RID: 144358
Click to report rating    7/14/14   3     1     1     1     1   Horrible! Charged me a lot of money and did nothing for me. I have to hire a new lawyer now RID: 139656
