Fast and reliable

I looked around for an Attorney to do a transfer of deed on a condo.after many quotes and no call backs. I finallly was recommended by someone to speak to Mr. Kestner who explained everything in detail and did all the paperwork in less than 2 weeks.

Foreclosure with proceeds

Mark P. Keshner is everything one would hope for in an attorney. The most important thing I could say is that he is a very compassionate person with a world of knowledge in his profession. My college-educated brother has been an alcoholic for years. It caught up with him after many years, lost h...is job,, and eventually evicted from his home. I found my brother living in his car. His house was repossessed by the bank--I realized that he must have some money in his home after all past bills were paid and sold on auction. I was given Mark's name from the buyer. Mark was so responsive and had such a giving heart to my brother's situation. He immediately said he would work with us pro bono which was such a relief and a real gift. Mr. Keshner's professionalism far exceeded my expectations. He was very busy with his own practice, I felt bad taking him away from it to work with us. But, he assured us that he wanted to do this for my brother. Mr. Keshner worked hard with us and the county government to get the money my brother was due. I felt so bad with all the time and effort he was spending on this but he wanted to give his best to end with a good result. Finally, we have received the money and I can't say enough about the services we received from Mark to make all of this happen. Wonderful person. Wonderful lawyer.

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!

Mark asks good questions, follows through and is responsive. He even met with me though he was under the weather. Dedication, expertise and wide network of contacts. He takes care of his clients.
