Guardianship

Mark accepted a complicated guardianship case regarding my stepdad. He was quick to encourage us and put us at ease, and he represented us well through the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone or to call him again in the future. I honestly thought the process would be a... nightmare but I was quite wrong.

Mark D. Gott

I engaged Mark Gott to handle a very complex guardianship issue pertaining to a family member. Mr. Gott is most knowledgeable, does his homework and prepared us for all the legal steps and multiple court hearings. He prepared the petitions, briefed us completely and led the proceedings with the court...s. I was appointed general guardian and have been in that capacity for almost two years. Mr. Gott has provided comprehensive services, including assisting in the asset distribution, and annual filings. He provides advice that is very timely which gave us the ability to care for our family member. He provided not only expert advice, but did so with the utmost integrity and empathy in understanding our family. I highly recommend Mark Gott.

Guardianship

After a year of not being able to see or help my grandfather Mr. Gott took our case. He was not only empathic to our situation but also saw that we really needed help. He was such and amazing attorney. He made sure we new every step of what we were going to going through. We thought our case would be... a long drawn out case but Mr. Gott got everyone he could involved to see that things were handle in a timely manner. He also made sure that my grandfathers safety was his top priority. I know and have worked with several attorneys but none like Mr. Gott. I wish he practiced in areas of law. He would be the only attorney I could ever call on. A true gentleman and excellent at what he does. He helped us out our family back together. For that we will eternally grateful.

"Mark Gott is an excellent attorney and a gentleman. Drawing from his experience as a judicial hearing officer with the Office of the Clerk of Superior Court, Mark provides excellent representation in the areas of guardianship, foreclosure and related areas. Mark justly has the respect of his colleagues for his conscientious work and compassionate service to his clients.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently worked with Mark on a very complex case involving difficult questions concerning the status of beneficiaries to an Estate. Mark was extremely professional throughout, and very thoughtful in his approach to this matter in which he skillfully represented a young child. The representation extended not just to what was best for the child in the immediate context of the litigation, but also as to what was going to be best for her long-term support and financial assistance through her youth and into adulthood. I was extremely impressed with the thoughtfulness, diligence and professionalism that Mark displayed in his representation."
