Mark Joseph Guay's Lawyer Endorsements
"Many Avvo attorneys give accurate answers but what distinguises Mr. Guay is the "practical" nature of his suggestions which accompany his answers. If I were a client I would want this quality in my lawyer, not just being correct, but advice that balances the costs and benefits of being "right" versus the exploration of alternatives that can accomplish the same goals. Bravo!"
"Mark Joseph Guay has a deep understanding of business & contract law which means he understands that there are often no easy or simple answers. Bad if you want a lawyer to tell you what you want to hear, but good if you want a lawyer to keep you out of court. I am happy to endorse Mr Guay here on Avvo."
"Attorney Guay exemplifies the very best attributes of an active attorney and displays a high level of professionalism, confidence and skill we should all aspire to. Honesty, dedication and a love of the law, which means. giving back to others who lack our understanding of the law and a benefit from our inherent desire to provide solutions to problems. The thousands years of combined legal experience of professionals activity participating in this forum represent some of the very best of our profession, which is after all, at its base is desire to help those in need. This Attorney’s experience and knowledge, I believe, demonstrates that there is a desire to provide accurate advice and obtain appropriate results for clients. Most importantly, this Attorney is willing to help complete strangers (as is the case in this forum) with their legal problems for which we collectively provide useful information, thereby demystifying the legal process as much as possible. I highly endorse him."
