"I have known and worked with Mark for more years than I would like to count. He is without question one of the more knowledgeable and ethical attorneys I have had the pleasure of knowing. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to any client looking for good quality representation."
"I give Mark my highest recommendation. I was privileged to work side by side with him at Vandenberg & Feliu, and since those days have not hesitated to refer matters to him. He is a true problem solver, who demonstrates extraordinary talent, intellect, and skill, along with the diligence, tenacity, and resourcefulness to find the solutions to complex problems. Although Avvo requires me to select a 'category' for the recommendation, I would not hesitate to see out Mark for advice or representation in a number of legal areas, including corporate, litigation or pre-litigation problems, real estate, Chapter 7, 11, or 13 bankruptcy, creditor or debtor representation, and general business issues. Mark is a truly exceptional lawyer and person; I am privileged to know him."
"I endorse this lawyer. He has exceptional competence in the fields of bankruptcy, real estate and estate planning. Impossible to find better representation."
"I know Mark as the result of having shared office space with him for several years.
