He Answers His Phone

Yes, he actually answers the phone! My past experience with Attorneys, and any professional frankly these days, is that they take your money and then ghost you for weeks. Mark will literally answer his phone in the middle of the night, not a secretary, not an answering service, HIM! He is caring, h...ard-working and dam good at his job. Don't think twice about hiring him.

Marc, best attorney ever!

I hired Marc several times for traffic cases such as speeding and Driving Without a License and the result was always favorable to me. Recently, I was charged with my third DUI and was facing a possible lifetime license revocation. In this case, Marc won the DMV refusal hearing AND punched so many ho...les in the prosecutor's case that they had to offer me a non DUI resolution. Marc saved me years of license revocations, interlocks, thousands in fines, court costs, and penalties. Thanks again Marc.

If you're looking for Honest and Fair representation, Call Mark Kokosa

Mark Kokosa was professional, very knowledgeable about criminal law. His prices were very reasonable compared to many other lawyers that wanted to charge three times as much. On my court date Mr. Kokosa was quick on settling a plea deal with the DA and the Judge. I would recommend Mark Kokosa if you'...re looking for straight forward and personable representation.

Great attorney!

I retained Marc for a small claims court matter (landlord dispute) and he exceeded my expectations. He honestly went above and beyond and kept me informed every step of the way. I would hire him in a heart beat.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"A few years ago, Marc and I would often be opposite each other on criminal cases in Warren County. He was with the District Attorney's Office while I was with the Public Defender. Marc was always knowledgeable, patient, and fair in his dealings with me and I have no doubt that those same qualities are in evidence when dealing with his clients. Someone who knows the ins and outs of a prosecutor's office is always good to have on your side."

"One of my long term clients had a criminal matter in Rensselaer County. Attorney Kokosa took care of it in two appearances. My client raved about Attorney Kokosa. The matter was ultimately dismissed and he didn't charge my client an arm and a leg. My client thinks Attorney Kokosa is one of the best attorneys he has ever retained."
