Mark Childers "ROCKS", I was charged with a first offence DUI in July of 2011. Mark spent 2 years 2 months on my case mainly because my job kept me out of town, and Mark had to keep continuing my case month after month. After I managed to get back into town he decided to wait until we could try my case in front of a fair and impartial judge. He said ok, we found her, but just before he was ready to try the case, the state "for the next 3 months" had problems getting their witnesses to court, all at the same time. So Mark allowed them, all the time they needed, just so long as we could keep the same judge. Finally the moment of truth, Mark put together a probable cause hearing that was incredible, the state didn't have enough evidence, and the judge dismissed my DUI charges. Mark and Meredith stood by me the whole way, and gave me a second chance. Mark is A top notch lawer and I would highly recomend him to anyone.

Thank you Michelle and Mark for handling my traffic citation! Your firm was accommodating and efficient throughout the entire process. The level of communication was top shelf and despite not being able to appear I felt at ease the entire time.

Mark was awesome for the last 5 years! He took a DUI that could have messed up my life and explored all options over the course of 5 years in order to ensure a Not Guilty verdict. The day finally came and the verdict came in NOT GUILTY. I can't say enough good things about Mark and his team. Highly recommend having him help you out.

Mr Childers is a very good defense attorney. Tells you like it is and he tells you what he can do for you. In both my cases he has delivered what he promised and I was very happy with both results. Just like Bill Murry says in Stripes. Never convicted. He is worth the $.

This guy is the best! I had the courts/probation all over me for 2 DWI's. I moved out of state and probation was doing everything they could to impose the max penalty of 4YEARS! This guy swooped right in and fixed it all. And did so VERY QUICKLY. He had me out of jail and back home without the PROBBYs on my back ever again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I couldn't have asked for better representation and highly recommend Mark to anyone for anything. I had serious dwi pending and the issues that surround such a problem kept mounting up. Mark asked what I wanted as far as a realistic outcome, then not only made that happen but went above and beyond what we thought was possible. Work has me out of town a lot so I wasn't the easiest person to deal with, and he and Diane did their best to work around my schedule making my life much easier during a rotten time. I was presented with many options and scenarios, and given complete explanations on why or why I shouldn't go certain routes, never being talked down to once. The end result was awesome, and we can't thank Mark & Diane enough for their time and efforts.

Many times people will only comment when something goes wrong. I would like to acknowledge something that went very right! This is a note of appreciation due to outstanding assistance and service we received from Mark Childer's and his team regarding a recent traffic violation. They went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. They were quick to respond. Patiently answered all questions & after all was said and done, we knew we were in the right hands.

December 2014 while traveling in Mooresville, NC from my home in Wilmington, NC I was in a major traffic accident involving an eighteen wheeler and a passenger car. I was cited for leaving a safe lane. Physically and emotionally under stress I reached out for help and support. A local resident referred me to the law firm of Jones, Childers, McLurkin & Donaldson PLLC specially Mark Childers and his Paralegal Michelle. From my first phone call Mark and Michelle took charge of my case with exceptional warmth, kindness and a high level of professionalism. Many pieces of this traffic accident had to be addressed involving several stake holders across many states. My legal team took immediate charge addressing all my legal issues with promptness keeping me in the loop with timely communications. Their extraordinary legal skills representing me at my court hearings resulted in a positive outcome for me. I highly recommend Mark and Michelle to anyone who is in need of outstanding legal support.

I have worked with Mr. Childers for the past six years and I have never had any problems getting the information that I need for the clients that both of us serve. His Paralegal is one of the best I have ever dealt with and is very quick to respond to the needs of the clients as well as the other professionals involved in their case. I would highly recommend Attorney Childers and the Paralegal Michelle Bacogeorge that works with him.
