Mark S. Scheffer

This lawyer is a fraudster and gives lawyer-ship a bad name. At first, he acted like he were the last trustworthy lawyer on the planet. But after attaining his goals, the contract and retainer fees, he held few client-lawyer meetings with significant remoteness between meetings dates He was displayin...g remiss and tiresome slowness. Not to mention, he omitted vital evidence; and, neglected filing responses and discovery opportunities including deposing the defendant and interrogating witnesses. In addition, he missed statutes of limitations despite his experience of 30+ years. Bottom line, I don't recommend him at all for unethically appeasing my adversary or defendant on the expense of my reputation and rights. Besides, he's unscrupulous and unprofessional for keeping our communications about the matter scarce and/or cut off; not filing, without informing me first, a response as directed by Judge; and missing statutes of limitations as mentioned above.

After a prospective employer breached an employment contract, I sought counsel and received recommendations for Mark. I spoke with him early August and he promised to research my case and get back to me the following week. He never called back. I followed up again with a text on Aug 8, a voicemail on... Aug 15, and another voicemail Aug 24. I called again today, and he sent me to voicemail after I provided my name to Google voice service. I would recommend seeking a more professional attorney that follows up with their commitments.
