Helpful

Mark practices in a different location than us, though he still gave us good referrals for our location. He was clear, responsive, and helpful.

Excellent Lawyer

Excellent lawyer. Able to convey complex estate planning topics in terms that I could understand.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Mark is a superb attorney and well respected in the legal community regarding estate planning and business formation."

Trusts lawyer | May 06

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked via e-mail and phone with Mark regularly for close to a year on a complex (factually and emotionally) family trust matter. Mark was responsive, even handed with all parties, very clear in his communications and provided and sound professional advice that that achieved good results under difficult circumstances. I have also been retained by Mark on an estate planning matter involving Maine law, and not surprisingly, was again impressed with his work product and attention to detail. I have referred a potential client in North Carolina that I could not assist to Mark and will continue to refer clients to him."

Avvo Rating

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.
