Client Reviews

"Mark Wakenight got me custody of all three of my children, child support for the two minor children, bought my ex-wife out of the house, and is constantly keeping in touch with me to see how I and my family are doing. I am forever grateful for getting the best gift in life: my family." Joe A.
"So I had a very frustrating divorce. My ex wife would not agree to anything and was determined to drag me through the mud. Mark was able to craft a strategy that kept me free of nonsense and allowed me to move on with my life. It took a while because of my ex but I am glad that my case is over and that I am free to move on." Former Client
"I contacted Mr. Wakenight to help me with my divorce. Things went really smooth and he was very fair with the overall cost. He was very available and his office was great at taking care of the administrative tasks. And he was a pretty nice guy too. I would recommend." Brian
