After my husband's illness, my life began to break up even though I tried every way to prevent it. But having a person with serious illness and depression is impossible to break away from failure. It was hard for me to open up and tell Mr. Mark what's going on in my life and why I don't see any options anymore, I'm completely lost mentally, financially but his way talking to client in my case has helped me to open up about everything. He take his time to listen and try to understand what I'm going thru. I will always recommend him if you going thru hard time in your life and you need a lawyer who understands life . I appreciate him and his team. Thank you

Worst lawyer in the state took my money just to tell me I was telling a good story and there was nothing he could do for me. Shocking that my story is the same as 25 other women who have been wronged by this man in Des Moines. Story was good enough to make the news many times. Bad lawyers and bad service do not trust

Response from owner

Kelli,<br>I'm sorry but I think you may have the wrong firm. We don't have a record of you ever coming into our office. Based on what little I can tell from your remark, I don't handle your type of case. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. As an attorney, it is important to me that everyone get the help they need.

Sam is an absolutely amazing attorney. He showed me kindness and compassion when I was at a very rough point in my life. Sam and his staff worked quickly and diligently to get my case filed. Zach, who is a law clerk there, is also amazing. He went above and beyond for me! Thank you all so much for being professional and empathetic.

Highly recommend!!!! Googled consumer protection lawyer in Des Moines. We called and discussed our situation. Sam advised with recommended next steps and invited us to call them after following. Followed their advice. Called a second time within 2 hours and offered advice again. Excellent response time with phone, email correspondence. Clean and Simple with excellent professionalism. Hope to never need to call them again; however with similar situations, they will be 1st and only call if needed. Many thanks to their team and especially Mark. We are very appreciative for their advice!!!!

I was drowning in debt and I came across Mr. Marks website. I called in and was able to get started right away, without having to take time off from work. From there, Sam and whole staff were amazing. I'm waiting to get my final discharge but I couldn't be happier.

I'm not sure about the attorneys there, I never got that far. I dealt with the gatekeeper Alex. Needles to say after paying 800$ to acquire there services (initially) i was treated so bad that i asked for a refund to look for another firm. All of a sudden Alex gets nice and tries to pressure me into not leaving them. Doesn't want to issue a refund and argues with me about my money. He eventually states he refunded it and whenever the bank puts it back is when I'll get it and hung up. I called the next morning because the payment processed, I was immediately hung up on, luckily I had my banking rep on a 3 way call. Called back again he took my call, began to treat me rudely again until the banking rep spoke up. He finally transferred us to someone in billing. The gent in billing explained things very well (which was different from what Alex said). The banking rep chimed in before ending the call about Alex and maybe retraining him. Customer service was probably my worst experience ever. Whoever owns that firm lost money because of a gatekeepers attitude, I wonder how much more you have lost and don't know it? Oh well, I'll wait to see if my $$ is back by friday like I was told and then go give it to another attorney. Bad business, I'd be apprehensive about using them solely due to my experience with Alex.

Response from owner

Jeff, we are so sorry to hear about your negative experience. It sounds as though you were speaking with someone at a consulting firm that we contract with. Unfortunately, we do not providing the training or oversight for these team members. If you contact our office directly, our law clerks are able to handle the entire bankruptcy process, including payment and I believe you will find them helpful and inviting. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact our office at 515-276-7211 and ask for Delainey.

Wow, dont know what to think. Asked him about bank foreclosure on our home and some unethical things done, ie: mortgage company refused payments from git go unless paid in full (i only missed one payment initially then they wouldnt accept any future payments) they then pursued foreclosure during a manditory moritorium forbidding them to due so due to natural disaster, actively pursued foreclosure at same time as mitigation which is against federal law, and then charged me for attorney fees incurred during this federally protected time. My husband is a 30 yr vet with catostrophic disability rating and they stated in petition he was neither a veteran nor disabled, because there are legal protections. However this attorney got mad when i countered his statement of them not legally having to work with us telling him that under federal guidelines they were supposed to offer all efforts to prevent fireclosure and work with us, he refused to even listen to anything I had in writing regarding this defense and told me to defend myself and hung up.

Response from owner

Jill, we apologize for your negative experience with Marks Law Firm. Each case and situation is unique and involves different laws and regulations that must be followed. At times, it is possible that there is nothing that can be done to prevent a foreclosure and this may have been one of those cases. Regardless, we apologize for the response of the attorney and have taken steps to ensure that this does not happen again. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact our office at 515-276-7211 and ask for Delainey.
