  • I recommend Mark Demaray.
  • I hired Mark more than 3 years ago.
  • Mark handled my Adoption matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

Mr. Demaray helped us through an adoption. The birth Mom was very young and we were exhausted after 15 years of infertility and failed adoptions. I was so frightened and excited at the possibility. He made us aware of a tax credit that actually covered all his fees. He stayed in constant contact through the waiting period. His office continues to be involved today facilitating our annual communication between our family and the birth mother. He gives attorneys a good name.
