An Excellent Lawyer

Mark handled a custody/visitation case for me. He has a great understanding of the court system along with the laws surrounding my case. He always made himself available for any questions or concerns I had before and after the case. He was more than prepared and made sure that I was also. Before t...he case, Mark would explain the pros and cons, but made sure we set our sites on the best outcome. My case was successful and my son and I are very grateful. I would highly recommend Mark.

Beyond excellent

Mark is quite literally everything you could ever ask for in a lawyer. He helped me through a very difficult divorce, and I have no doubt that he helped me obtain the best possible outcome in that situation. As a lawyer, he was: -Intelligent, knowledgable, thorough, sharp, savvy, efficient, com...petent, a good communicator, honest, an advocate As a person, he was: -KIND, supportive, empathetic, CALM, easy to work with, humorous, genuine, fair As far as I'm concerned, I hit the jackpot when a friend referred me to Mark. Like many divorces, it was a volatile situation and finding a lawyer who was great at his job, who demonstrated great kindness, AND was able to exude a calm demeanor and help keep ME calm? I wholeheartedly believe that made all the difference in my situation. I would recommend Mark without hesitation.

Knowledgeable and personable

Mark has helped me resolve several family legal issues. I was very impressed by his knowledge and by the solutions that he proposed. He was responsive, courteous, and able to explain things easily. I will definitely use him again if I need an attorney.

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.
