Top-Notch Lawyer

I hired Mark to represent a family member who had suffered a first-time acute mental illness and, as a result, was arrested and jailed multiple times for minor charges. I can't speak highly enough of Mark's compassion, competence and responsiveness. His legal, strategic and communication skills are s...uperlative, bar none. Over several months, he worked in the very best interest of my ill family member, got the charges moved to mental health court, got the best possible result for my family member with the prosecutor and the judge and, at the same time, kept me informed in the most ethical and empathetic way possible. If you need a top-notch criminal defense lawyer anywhere in Maryland, someone you can trust and rely on 100%, Mark Oakley is your man.

He's really good!

Top caliber lawyer. I had a home improvement contract I was struggling to get out of after the contractor kept delaying the work and tried to bait and switch me with the materials they were going to use. He was thorough in going through the details of the contract and pragmatic about what my legal op...tions were. Drafted a very well written letter to the contractors requesting a cancellation of the agreement which they promptly obliged to. Saved me a lot of headache. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

Excellent Consultant and Attorney

I have had a complicated case that needed to be defended. I have searched and talked to many attorneys in this area of practice. I found Mark in Avvo due to his high rate of great answers to people's questions. Then, I had the privilege to set up a time with him to have a consultation him. I found ...him a very knowledgeable and resourceful person. I would name him a researcher rather than solely an attorney, who knows exactly where to get the legal basis, what to do next, and how to act with clients and the court employees. It has been a great journey working with him and I am very much satisfied with his detail-oriented personality and answering all of my questions.

Kenneth Besser

Estate planning lawyer | Jul 15

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I am delighted to endorse Mark Oakley as a legal colleague in Maryland. From an AVVO question to which we both responded today, I noticed that he not only answered the question the person posted, but he also told her that were several other ways to accomplish what she wanted to accomplish even better than the way she wanted to do it. Giving that kind of advice on AVVO and other "free advice" sites take much more time, effort, energy, emotion, and intellect and indicates Mr. Oakley is a lawyer worth listening to and following his advice."
