Mark D. Shelnutt, P.A.

"Paralegals and unskilled employees run this zoo. Mark Shelnutt should be barred for his reluctance in representing his clients. He was unprepared, unprofessional, never available, and a dishonest coward. THEY WON’T CALL YOU, strictly email. Paralegals can’t keep a typical conversation, will not speak to you when YOU call them. He’s a crook"

"Be prepared for a semi long review. Rebecca Guthrie was my attorney in a debacle of a case. My case was so confusing and messy that I could not get anyone in the Ocala area to take it. When I called this office I spoke to Rebecca who was quite confident in taking this civil case, where I was the respondent of a domestic violence injunction. She informed me of the steps we were going to take and advised me throughout the WHOLE ENTIRE process. When I called or emailed her, she made herself available to me, and if you know anything (or don’t) having your lawyer accessible is crucial. Dealing with situations like mine is emotional, even for the strong, especially when children are involved; Rebecca saw my frustration and kept me cool under fire. She assured me the steps we were taking and advised me how to proceed. Rebecca worked with the opposing attorneys and negotiated my situation, in my favor. She laid the facts out and the truth prevailed! If you need someone to fight for you when you think all hope is lost, Rebecca is your lawyer!! She was more than prepared to take this to the judge, but in the end her argument was valid and STRONG and saved me the hassle and anxiety of having a judge make the decision. Even if you have to fight in court in front of a judge she is going to be there every step of the way. She was always prepared for anything and everything thrown our way. This woman is smart, ambitious, and really just kind; she is an all around good person! Her prices are worth every penny for her knowledge and wits. So if you’re reading this and unsure about who to hire for a civil matter, definitely call this office."

"I have worked with Mark and Rachel for the past 4 years He handled me divorce and did a great job helping me settle for the outcome I wanted in mediation and court. His office staff was always helpful and professional and promptly answered any questions I had. I highly recommend the law offices of Shelnutt and Guthrie."

"I was advised to sign a MSA and then sued by my EX for contempt because Mr. Shellnut left our MSA open to more than one interpretation. He charged me $39,000 to settle out of court over the course of 9 months. If you want agreements to be left ambiguous choose Mark Shellnut. He is now suing me for $10,000 of his attorneys fees. Lol. Just look at the public court docket to see how many of his clients he has sued for not paying his exorbitant amount of attorneys fees. He is as greedy and as selfish as they come. There are much better human beings and lawyers in town you can hire with your hard earned money. Listen to my advice, you will be glad you did."

"Unless you have more than 4k in the bank they are useless they never answered my calls and they used up my funds. I settled with my ex for a better deal than they could come up with. Mark argued with me in open court. I lost custody of my son for two months right after I got them on the job. These guys don't know what they are doing they are just rude I fired them and decided to go it alone before my divorce was over I hope this keeps people from making the same mistake I did. I would recommend my exes attorney over Shellnutt George Cologne that guy is evil but at least knows who he is fighting."
