Outstanding Divorce Lawyer

Mark Griffith is an outstanding lawyer. He worked diligently on my divorce case which had its time in criminal court as well as probate family court. My case lasted just over 2 years and Mark won each time we returned to court. Mark has an outstanding ability to negotiate, strategize and present the... facts in court . He is personable and available. I would highly recommend Mark Griffith. With Marks help, I was able to settle a very contentious custody case and reach an agreement . Many thanks to Mark for his outstanding work .

A Strong Advocate and a Partner for a Horrendous Ordeal

Attorney Mark Griffith was recommended to me by another attorney under the disclaimer "this is the person I would call if I ever got into trouble." When I first met Mark he was respectful to me, listened to my concerns and addressed them. He was nothing short of a gentleman, always being reachable to... me as well as my family and taking time to meet and speak with members of my family. He made no secret that he enjoyed going to court and he enjoyed taking cases to trial even more. While he didn't shy away from his success in the courtroom, he also owned his failures and admitted he was a good attorney, but not perfect. He also made it clear from the beginning that I was not a client, I was a partner to him in my defense for a criminal matter. In court Mark displayed his considerable acumen as a defense attorney; if Mark was not winning a something in that moment, then he was either setting up circumstances for his advantage later or using the opportunity to gather new information to strengthen his arguments or reveal weakness in the opposition's arguments. During one motion hearing, I had the opportunity to watch him thoroughly trounce the prosecutor handling the case by making a simple, yet elegant and logical argument in support of the salient issue in the motion he filed while also gathering advantageous information from police officers during cross examination by revealing egregious errors and flagrant bias in the handling of the investigation. Mark uses his skill, experience, and knowledge of the courtroom to maneuver each situation to the outcome he wanted each time we went to court. Mark did not stop until I had the result I wanted, he was prepared to take the case to trial. Fortunately, he was able to get the charges dismissed without a conviction, protecting my career. I am grateful to him in helping me navigate a horrendous ordeal and I would readily recommend him to anyone needing legal representation in a civil or criminal matter.

A Class Act

I recently needed legal representation to address child support and college expenses allocation. I was referred to Mark by a friend and was immediately impressed by his concern and compassion, as I explained my situation to him. He listened attentively and guided me through the process, and went the... extra mile to reassure me that we were in a good position. He displayed excellent analytical skills and was able to quickly make sense of a complicated scenario. He also displayed excellent interpersonal skills and we quickly developed a trusting relationship and a mutually respectful rapport. He continued to placate me during times of frustration, which I really appreciated, as often times these types of cases are emotionally charged. He is a excellent strategist, thinks logically and makes reasonable judgments and assumptions based on the information presented. He also has excellent public speaking skills and was comfortable addressing the courtroom. His perseverance was only exceeded by his generosity, as he appeared to be genuinely concerned about my finances and keeping his fees to a minimum. I would have no hesitation in recommending him, and I actually have done a few days after our day in court.

Mark Griffith - An Experienced, Knowledgeable, and Compassionate defense Attorney.

I was referred to Mark through my company’s legal HR network. I was seeking an attorney to defend me in Chelsea District Court on a restraining order case that, quite unexpectedly, was going to trial. I retained Mark with less than a week before my trial date and he was quick to address all my conce...rns. I immediately appreciated Mark’s swift response and his willingness to consider every last detail even on such short notice. Aside from a robust legal approach, I appreciated the way he listened to my personal story and mindset in relation to the case and how I ideally wanted things to play out. I was nothing but truthful with him and he was nothing but straightforward in return and in this way we were able to communicate very effectively. The trial itself was an excellent display of Mark’s ability to execute on a well-developed legal strategy. I have very little experience in a trial setting so I found Mark’s pre-trial briefings to be both calming and reassuring. The trial itself spanned an entire day and at no time did I feel as if things were not in control or being effectively managed by Mark. Mark’s trial proficiencies were immediately apparent with his ability to cross examine the plaintiff thoroughly with well-paced and well-planned questions. Mark also exhibited his expertise through his firm yet gentlemanly interactions with the opposing party’s counsel and while addressing the presiding Judge. Mark saved his best for last with a closing remark that was so passionate and well-articulated that it quite honestly took me by surprise. The result was ruling in my favor with a complete nullification of the restraining order. Mark’s personal touch, continuous support and ability to execute in a trial setting make him an excellent choice for a defense attorney. Believe me, if there’s anyone you want making your closing argument in a trial, it’s Mark Griffith.

Excellent adviser, divorce attorney and criminal attorney

Attorney Mark Griffith has been referred to me by a friend who went through a very contested divorce. I have been able to observe Mark's ability to turn a case around. Mark supported my friend through multiple GAL investigations and managed to obtain physical custody in a situation that initially loo...ked dire. I was so impressed by Marks' negotiation skills and court experienced that I referred him later to another friend who needed criminal and divorce representation. And once more Mark has been the attorney with the upper hand. Not only were the criminal charges dismissed, Mark continued to prove his excellent negotiation and strategically aligned skills with turning the custody situation and assuring the very best for a young boy and his mother. Mark has always been responsive and available to my concerns and needs, though I never retained him as an attorney. He has provided me with advise and counsel multiple times and his insight has been valuable, transparent and always uniquely insightful. I recommend Mark to any person who is seeking more than only legal representation - Mark brings to the table empathy, emotional intelligence and true kindness. He fights with you as if he would fight for his own life and that approach sets him apart from many other attorneys who consider their clients as nothing else but business. I highly recommend Attorney Mark Griffith.
