Reliable, Honest, Accessible and Competent Attorney

I was referred to Mark Bennett by a friend when I needed a competent and reliable attorney. I had been arrested and was being held in custody. From the outset, Mark was attentive and accessible. Upon meeting me he took detailed notes of the events that had led to my arrest. Within two days he had su...ccessfully petitioned the court to have my bail reduced from $25K to $1K. Mark continued to work diligently preparing me for upcoming proceedings. He was reliably responsive throughout the process and provided effective counsel. Marks communication with me was always clear - he made sure I understood what was going on. The State eventually decided not to proceed with their case and the charges were dismissed. I am very satisfied with the support and service provided to me by Mark Bennett and would highly recommend him.

When it comes to the greatest challenges - Atty Bennett is the only choice.

Mark Bennett defended me in an extremely difficult case that had potential life changing consequences and damage. Throughout the entire process, Mark was understanding, personable and showed the greatest level of professionalism that surpassed every expectation. Most importantly, he was straightfor...ward with me regarding all of the challenges we faced. At every step in the process, he factually described the possible outcomes and consequences - all without coloring the situation either way. With all information available, I was able to decide what I was going to do. In court, Atty Bennett conducts himself with the utmost level of professionalism. it is apparent from his interactions with all legal entities involved in my matter that he is highly respected. My trial was extremely difficult, but Atty Bennett showed empathy and he was there - on my side - no matter what the outcome. In the end, the truth prevailed and I was acquitted. Should you ever find yourself in need of a highly respected, highly skilled, professional, personable, results driven lawyer, there is no other choice than Mark Bennett.
