Great Attorney

We contacted Mark after my son received his first, and hopefully last, speeding ticket. Mark was very knowledgeable about the law, process and was very reassuring and honest with us. We could not have asked for a better outcome. Mark was amazing and we are very grateful for his services.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
