Quick response and fast service

Mr. Kestner helped us straighten out and refile a deed that involved a loan which was satisfied.

Best Lawyer I ever worked with

I was extremely blessed when I was referred to Mark. I had a very strenuous divorce and because of it the title of my home was in a very complicated situation. Mark is very knowledgeable, detailed, professional but most important compassionate. Personally was a very stressed transaction and he manag...ed to resolve it all.

Estate Lawer and Administration

Mark Kestner handled my Mom's complicated estate with a wealth of experience, impeccable attention to detail, and unbelievable patience. I was the personal representative and executor of my Mom's estate and will. Mark guided me through this complicated process and I will be forever grateful.

Excellent Attorney!

Mark is a first rate lawyer, who cares about his clients. He came to our house after my father passed away to help sort out a very complicated estate situation. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, he was able to get a grasp on the estate and decipher the complicated financial mess my father lef...t me. Mark is professional, honest and responsive. If you want someone who cares, call Mark Kestner! He is a first rate lawyer! I highly recommend him!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
