Misunderstood a simple post in English and no help at all.

Would give a -100 but this doesn't allow that. I wrote a post in simple English and he was loud and WRONG about my post. He put words in my mouth and in my opinion I would RUN if he was ever my lawyer or advocate with his blah blah blah about degrees but loud and wrong when understanding a post in p...lain English. BEWARE!! And as it was stated it's free advice ...... smh we don't count for nothing I guess.

Mark R. Bower's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Mark
David E. Waterbury headshot
David Waterbury

Medical malpractice lawyer | Feb 26

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Mark and I worked at the same high profile firm in the '90's. Even then, Mark enjoyed a reputation as one of the very best medical malpractice practitioners in the State of New York. Since then Mark has only succeeded in enhancing and burnishing his reputation, as well as taking it to other jurisdictions. Mark is respectfully known as "the Professor" by many of his colleagues owing to his encyclopedic knowledge of his areas of concentration. If you have a medical malpractice case, I can think of no better lawyer to consult than Mark Bower."

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.
