Mark Westerfield's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Mark for many years. At one time we worked in the same law firm. As a sole practioner, I sometimes find it necessary to contact colleagues in order to "bounce ideas" of them in connection with one of my cases. Mark is one of my "go to" contacts for reliable, and creative information. I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Westerfield is an experienced, respected and successful attorney who produces excellent results for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. His insightful contributions to Avvo show his thorough knowledge of personal injury law."
"Mark is a great lawyer. He has a solid track record in the court and knows the law extremely well. With lots of published answers to legal questions on Avvo.com too, it should be obvious to anyone that Mark cares about making sure people get good (and accurate) advice on their rights and obligations. If you have any kind of legal problem at all, and his office is anywhere near you, I highly recommend him to you."
"I have read dozens of Mr. Westerfield's responses on Avvo, and it is clear to me that he is an attorney with extraordinary insight and skill. He demonstrates great analytical skills together with experience and compassion. I endorse him."
