About Mark
Biography
I am a frequent speaker on a variety of estate planning topics, regularly presenting educational seminars for the public as well as charitable organizations, employers, associations, special interest groups, support groups, and financial advisors in our community. I always do my best to try and reduce complex legal principles into understandable concepts.
I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to be of service to so many families. I really do enjoy making a difference in the lives of people I work with. While protecting financial assets is often why someone often seeks my help, strengthening and maintaining family unity is my primary goal and probably the number one reason why clients refer their friends and family to my office.
I think it is important to make the most of every day and always find a way to laugh even when times are difficult.
I am a Bahai and serve as chairman of the local Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Brookhaven. Bahai's believe in the unity of all mankind, the equality of men and women, and the elimination of all forms of prejudice. You can learn more about the Bahai Faith at www.bahai.us
Dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of our clients, their children and grandchildren!
