Posted by Alexander | November 25, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody miracle worker/ Family law genius

Mark was able to get me results I didn’t even know was possible, I was going through a hard time custody battle as a man trying to get his child in a state they call “Mommy-Chusettes” (Massachusetts). Mark stepped in with so much experience and knowledge, he was always 10 steps ahead and was able to ...guide and prepare me for everything, it was like he foreseen the future! His responsiveness and professionalism really sets him apart from any other lawyer, he’s not someone who’s going to just take your money and do bare minimum… This man works very hard, answers calls, responds the second he sees it, checks in, makes sure you’re okay and have a good understanding of everything. It’s truly been a blessing to have found mark in one of my life’s most stressful times, he’s a 1 man army! (And on the flip side, if you ever walk into a court room and see your self up against up him… wrap it up, you lost!)

Outstanding

Mark was referred to us by a friend of ours that is an attorney. We were wary at first being we were in another state and had to conduct all business on zoom however our reservations were quickly eased during the initial consultation as Mark is an absolute professional and took the time to explain t...he process and his role thoroughly. His sincerity, empathy and commitment to advocating on our behalf were apparent. Throughout, he maintained consistent communication each step of the way until everything in our case was resolved. We would recommend Mark without reservation to anyone seeking representation.

If you need a lawyer Mr. Griffith is the man to call!

This lawyer fought like hell for me and after two dates a charge from years ago was dropped and one date I didn’t even have to show up! He took time explaining to me everything that would happen, all possible outcomes, and how everything would work. I had a million question I would think of and text ...him he always responded instantly! If you need a lawyer call Mark (yes he had me call him by his first name) and not Mr. Griffith- he was very easy to talk too and above all extremely hardworking and very knowledgeable of the law!

Thank you

From our first meeting, Mark instilled a strong sense of confidence in me about my situation. His diligence and commitment to bringing my innocence to light was thorough and unmatched. I’d recommend him to anyone.

You Need A Good Attorney

As a disabled person with Meniere’s Disease, my super-power is appearing intoxicated when I’m not. I have had my fill of interactions with the police and understand the difference between having a cut rate attorney and a good one. So, when I was arrested for DUI (3rd) in Pepperell, I had trouble ta...king the situation seriously. Then I got the police report. The Pepperell Police wrote a story that was almost guaranteed to land me in jail. I thought my life was over and almost completely gave up. Then my brother came across Mark’s profile here and convinced me to hire him. It was the best decision of my life. While everyone else took the wild tale told by the police at face value, Mark worked with me from the beginning to develop a strategy to win. The case dragged on for over two years and Mark helped me keep an even keel throughout. When I wanted to quit, he used his ability to see the human side of the situation to keep me going. It was a long road, but Mark and I worked together to put together a defense that ultimately won at trial. I am completely convinced that any other attorney that I would have found would have insisted that I take a plea. Thankfully, Mark could see that I was not guilty and fought through the end to ensure that the right verdict was returned. I can’t stress enough how important it is to hire a good attorney when things go sideways. Mark is that attorney. I wish I had found him 25 years ago.

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had dozens of cases, numerous motions and at least one trial against Mark Griffith and I can highly recommend him for anyone needing defense from a criminal charge in Middlesex County. He is easy to get along with, well respected by judges and prosecutors and has the ability to convince a jury that they have a reasonable doubt even after his client all but admits to the crime on the witness stand (true story). Some might think jurors are swayed by his southern accent, but it is actually preparation, dedication and experience at trial that make him so effective."
