Hands down the best attorney around

I have had to unfortunately deal with a very difficult and draining divorce. It started before I moved to Nashville and after I got here back in the summer of 2014 it went from bad to about as bad as things could possibly get. I had been through a few attorneys in Chicago before I finally found a y...oung guy who cared and really helped. The stars were aligned after my ex wife started up again much much worse then before after moving here and I found Mark on this site and reached out to him. He and Carolanne worked tirelessly to get me and my son through some of the most traumatic and awful days, weeks, and months of my life and in the end Justice was served. He (and Carolanne) are simply the best in every way imaginable you will find in this business without a doubt. He will always be our attorney as long as I reside in Nashville but even more important I am proud to call him a friend, as well. Thank you Mark!

Absolutely the best!

I found Mark after two other attorneys had let me down. Mark immediately tackled my problem and brought it to a swift conclusion. With my other attorneys I felt like I was always in defense mode and the other side had the upper hand. With Mark, the tables were turned. The way he handled the case, we ...controlled the course of events and were able to wrap things up quickly. If you want an honest, efficient, experienced, excellent attorney, Mark is the guy! I believe Mark is the best there is.

Trial experience

Having been in political positions and viewing numerous trials and representations, I have a good comparison from a professional and personal perspective. Mark's communication of law and stratigies is superb. We were extremely comfortable during the trial as Mark's explanation of what was happeni...ng from both the plaintiff and defendant's position was very helpful. His ability to examine expert testimony documents is superb. This skill and his ability to cross examine expert testimony during the trial is paramount to the process. Mark stratigecally planned and executed our defense. He is more than adequate and demonstrates upmost professionalism. The repor he exhibits with apposing council and the judge is professional and effective. What impressed me the most was his ability to make key points through various avenues. He effectively stressed important facts by cross examining a witness or through presentations of motions. No matter the outcome of our trial, we feel that we could not have been represented any better. Our position was presented in the best way possible. After reflecting back over the entire process, we feel nothing was left out. Mark listened to every thing we said and found a way to incorporate our feelings and position effectively. We would definitely use him again in any situation. Thank you Mark for making such a stressful and humiliating process bearable.
