Great Lawyer

Attorney Favaloro was responsive to all questions I had about my case, and fought vigorously to obtain the best result possible. I would definitely recommend him and his firm to anyone looking for a medical malpractice lawyer.

Excellent lawyer

Mark is one of the few people in the world who will stop at nothing to make sure that the people he helps receive thew best assistance, always. Recently, he handled a small claim I had regarding the sale of a car. I was sold a car under false pretense, and Mark worked tirelessly and kept me well informed every step of the way. The settlement reached through Mark was more than satisfactory, and the process was as painless as it could be. He is professional, persistent, and skilled. I could not recommend Mark any more highly.

He is amazing to watch in the courtroom and consistently achieves the desired result. Anytime I need a lawyer, I call Mark Favaloro, Esq. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Attorney Favaloro has represented my family for over twenty years in all areas of the law with positive outcomes.

Attorney Favaloro has represented our family's issues for over twenty years. He deliberates each issue with aplomb. He has looked over all of my contracts, our will, our mortgages, estate issues, and currently he is representing us in a medical malpractice case. In all areas he has kept us well informed, we have not ever had to chase him down for an answer as I have heard from so many others relating to their attorney. Anyone who chooses Mr. Favaloro for an attorney will be a lucky client. He is well informed and deliberate in each answer he gives us.I have always felt that this area of my life needs no second guessing.

client review

I endorse Mark as an attorney and a wonderful human being. Mark is always prepared for our meetings and phone conversations. He has been there for my family through our ups and downs. When I hear Mark's voice on the other end of the line I know everything will be alright. He is a complete gentleman and a brilliant and resourceful litigator. I highly recommend him . He has handled our wills, contractual agreements, real estate closings, and currently a medical malpractice case on my behalf. I am very worn out from my medical issues. I am not the same client he has known over the last twenty plus years and yet he treats me with even more kindness, respect, and dignity. Mark is the best attorney I know.

Litigation Success

Mark was informative and honest about what it would take to pursue the claim we had against the Town we live in. He was dedictated to our goal and let us know the realistic result we could expect. He was attentive and responsive to our many questions and anxiety ridden phone calls. We were thrilled when his perseverance helped us achieve our goal. We could not have been happier with the result.
