Go with Tom Marks!

The closest Elder Care Lawer is not necessarily the best. I live in Mashpee on Cape Cod, and after learning this costly lesson, I reached out to Mr. Marks. (He was recommended by two people, one being a schoolteacher and the other an attorney). From my first zoom call, Tom patiently walked me throu...gh what I needed to know. He is professional, knowledgeable, caring and filled with empathy. I tell everyone I know about him. My husband has Alzheimer’s; so much of what is happening to us out of our control. Tom’s knowledge and suggestions have made the path we are on easier to walk. I now know our home is protected, even if a nursing home is needed for my husband. Tom has assured us of that. He listed the facts that confirm why our home can never be used to pay for my husband’s care. (The lawyer before him had incorrectly told us that our home was 'at risk'.) Tom’s knowledge of the facts associated with Wills, Trusts and Elder Care Law has been a huge source of comfort to us. All but the final document signing was done via zoom. It’s my understanding that the final documents could have been done electronically as well. I chose to go to his Mansfield office for the signing as I wanted to thank him face to face. The whole process was made easier by having a knowledgeable lawyer who really enjoys helping others.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Tom and I met when we represented adverse parties in a very sensitive and difficult matter. After a contentious beginning, we were able to resolve the matter in a reasonable and equitable fashion. Tom demonstrated that he could show compassion and understanding for my client while obtaining a great result for his client. Tom is very smart, he knows the law, and he is able to exercise mature judgment and creative problem solving. I am very comfortable referring matters to Tom; I know his clients are in good hands."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
