Thorough and Detail Oriented

Mark helped us with our wills and we were very happy with the entire process. Things were explained clearly and with good detail. Simple process. We like him because he’s tough and to-the-point. His price has also been right with us. We’ve also used him on our condo closing. Whenever we need a lawyer... in CT, we use him. Recommend.

Rude & Disrespectful

He was terrible to me on the phone and treated me like a second class person.

Delivered what was promised

As a small business owner we are subjected to frivolous lawsuits. In addition I was feeling the effects of surgery which affected my cognitive thinking. Both combined presented a difficult and frustrating scenario for Mark and Kristen. They performed well and settled the case and kept it within the... budget! I've met with thousands of businesses over the years selling products and services and you can assess the tenor of the office by the receptionist. Happy Receptionist, Happy Employees which enhances the customer experience. Thank you for putting up with my cognitive disability and getting me out of the frivolous lawsuit

He saved my home

My house was in foreclosure, and I was in over my head trying to understand the legal proceedings. I came accross Mark Sank at the Stamford court house while waiting for my docet to come up. I had watched numerous attorneys approach the bench and defend their clients. When Mark got up and spoke, he w...as a league all his own. He was by far the most accomplished lawyer in the court room on that day. Two years later, during which time I was not required to make a mortgage payment, my lender has modified mortgage, and I am no longer in foreclosure. I have Mark and his team to thank for that. Mark and his team are top notch professionals. They are well known at the Stamford Courthouse and have an in-depth understanding of both the law and how the system works. As with any legal advisor, it is up to you understand & take charge of your case. Ultimately this will save you money and give you the best outcome. Mark and his team always updated us on our options and which ones were the most practical. You may not always like what you hear, but he is telling you the truth, and when you are in a bad situation there is nothing more valuable than an honest lawyer. That is what you get with Mark. An honest lawyer who is looking out for your best interests. He used his time effectively and was able to get a lot done while at the same time minimizing billing. If you find yourself in a situation that you can’t solve on your own, and need legal counsel, I can wholeheartedly recommend Mark Sank & Associates.

Wonderfully competent and professional lawyer - Mark Sank

After consulting 2 other lawyers who just went through the motions to get an illegal assessment of $36,000 levied by the Condo association on my unit, I finally hired Mark. He spent a lot of time going into every single detail of the issue, laying out all the possible options that I could pursue,... and, most refreshing me all, strongly counseled me to be not be too eager to sue, as that is a sure fire way to simply add to his fees, as these cases could take years to resolve, while the meter keeps clicking. Instead, Mark repeatedly reached out to the Association's Attorney and Management Board, documenting why their assessment does not meet the State statutes for legality, and threatening to sue them personally if they did not cease and desist. His persistence paid off, and the Condo Association finally caved in, lifting the illegal assessment fully and issuing my condo a clean resale document. I could not be more grateful to Mark... he rocks!
