Law Office Of Mark Piland

I cannot recommend Mark enough!!! His professionalism, extensive knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication to his clients are truly exceptional! From start to finish, Mark demonstrated a level of expertise and commitment that gave me complete confidence in his representation. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! A HUGE thank you to Mark and Tina for their outstanding communication, guidance, and for making me feel like a priority throughout the entire process. Having an attorney who genuinely cares about his clients and their best interests makes all the difference. I am beyond grateful for everything you both have done for me! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I am writing to formally complain about the inadequate representation and unprofessional conduct of attorney Mark Piland. Mr. Piland failed to inform me of a court date, despite receiving notification three months in advance. He only contacted me 24 hours prior to the hearing, at which point I was out of town and unable to attend. His attempt to misrepresent the reason for my absence to the judge resulted in the judge becoming upset and referring the case to mediation. Furthermore, Mr. Piland then demanded that I pay the $750 mediation fee, despite his negligence being the cause of the mediation. He had also clearly not reviewed my case since being retained a year prior, evidenced by his last-minute questions the day before mediation. During mediation, it became clear that Mr. Piland's actions had put me in an untenable position with the assigned judge, who was already disinclined to hear civil cases. This, combined with Mr. Piland's lack of preparedness, forced me to settle the case against my initial wishes for a trial, to avoid further costs and a potentially prejudiced outcome. Adding to these issues, I provided Mr. Piland with a check for the remaining retainer and mediator's fee, with the explicit instruction not to cash it until I confirmed my financial ability. He cashed the check without my permission, causing my account to become overdrawn. I am currently filing a grievance with the Texas Bar Association and pursuing a malpractice lawsuit against Mark Piland. I believe his actions constitute a severe breach of professional conduct and have caused me significant financial and legal detriment.
