He has successfully evicted delinquent tenants, and stopped tyrannical landlords. He is prompt and expeditious in his representation.

Mark is the best of the best. Hire him and you won't regret it!

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."
