I kept my License

I had a very unusual case. I was speeding during and emergency and was in danger of losing my license. I need my license as a requirement for my job. Mark , took the time to meet with me and really understood my case, His knowledge of laws / rules and the court system were amazing. After hearing a... not guilty Mark was generally happy for me. His personality makes him stand out he really cares about his work and clients. I would recommend Mark to anyone who needs an attorney.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Mark for seven years, and had the pleasure to work on many cases given the proximity between Maine and New Hampshire. Mark is a tireless advocate for his clients, and is blessed with the rare mix of superior trial skills, academic intelligence and an outgoing, infectious personality. In addition to having mutual clients, we have traveled to several nationally recognized DUI\DWI conferences, to hone our skills and stay up to date on trends and changes in the law. I'm always amazed at how far above the curve Mark is on all these issues, and how great it is to see him transform that skill-set in the courtroom. It translates into great results for his clients. If you are a citizen accused of DWI or any other motor vehicle crime in New Hampshire, call Mark; you'll be reaching out to one of the finest DWI attorneys in New England, but you'll be treated like family."

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.
