Completely ghosted me. Unprofessional.

I wrote this person based upon someone else's referral, provided them with all of my information as requested and they completed ghosted me. All they had to say is that they were not interested but they did not even provide me the courtesy of stating such. Extremely unprofessional.

Can't Get Enough

Mark Represented me in a "free speech case" and he won it. Charged me 200 a hour and 300 a hour (being paid by the defendants) if we won. And also charged 25% of the Gross (giving himself 375 a hour). I did not realize when he took the case that he had set himself up to get most of the settlement.... He also charged $460 for the dinner meeting the night before the settlement.

Mark Zaid

Replied last September 6, 2023

This person has been continually trolling me and posting false information. The only negative review I have ever received, for good reason, has been attempted before and has been removed by Avvo multiple times.

I Made A Great Decision When I Hired Mark Zaid

Mark has been representing me for several years concerning a complex case involving the Federal Government. I first became aware of Mark, and his reputation as a stellar attorney, when a Senior Executive within my organization recommended Mark, based upon firsthand knowledge of Mark's experience, re...putation, and his skills and abilities. Mark brings to the issue at hand a drive and determination second to none. Mark is very intelligent, well networked, and I am very glad that he is representing me.

Quality & professionalism

Mark represented me for a clearance issue. His experience is respected in the intelligence community and he knew the process well. His approach was professional and he genuinely cared about my situation. I would recommend his services without hesitation.

Outstanding Attorney!

Remarkable is just one of the words that can sum up Mark Zaid! He is always on top of the case at hand and is accessible to us day and night. He is extremely intelligent and always goes above and beyond. I am sure anyone that chooses Mark Zaid as an attorney will feel as fortunate as we do.
