Check google reviews for my full review. Experienced paralegal needed help with a case of my own found his work lacking. He responded to my review in a way I believe speaks for itself.

Replied last January 25, 2026We never represented Gordon. Gordon called us and threatened to leave a bad review if we did not represent him. He has had no experience with our "work" as our interaction was limited to a phone call. Ray's YouTube channel speaks for itself and tells you everything you need to know about Ray. https://www.youtube.com/@raygordonteacheschess5501

Wasn’t willing to even talk through
Called Mark to discuss the case, where we had shown clear violations by the landlord against us, the tenants, and we have full documentation and even located the city code which they have violated. Asked to do a paid consultation but wasn’t even interested in the case if it wasn’t a large reward. Cle...

When the P...

Mark Copoulos's Lawyer Endorsements
"Simply stated Mark is an amazing attorney. I recently was co-counsel with Mark for a criminal matter where we represented codefendants. Mark's preparation, concise questionning, and ability to work well with other lawyers not only lead to his client's acquittal but also greatly helped my client's case. Mark conducts thorough reserach and is always prepared for any courtroom curveballs. I would strongly endorse him as a criminal defense attorney."
"Mark is a strong advocate for his clients. He can be a fierce opponent but is always respectful and professional."
"Mark is an excellent landlord tenant and criminal defense attorney. I have seen Mark work in the Philadelphia courts for many years and I know him to be a zealous advocate for his clients. I endorse Mark in the areas of criminal defense and landlord tenant law. He is a dependable, competent litigator."
"Simply said, Mark is an outstanding criminal attorney. Highly recommended!"
"Mark is intelligent, hard-working and a zealous advocate. I have seen Mark in action on numerous occasions. He gets the job done. I highly recommend Mark Copoulos if you are seeking an attorney"
"I cannot recommend and endorse Mark enough. While I am an attorney, I hired Mark to represent me and my family in a landlord tenant matter as it was outside my practice area. He went above and beyond, was exceptionally prepared, his fee was incredibly reasonable for the time and effort required, and above all he was a zealous advocate. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I now refer all of my landlord tenant work to him. I'd be shocked if you could find a more competent attorney to represent you. Hire him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
