About Mark
Biography
From the day I started working in the field until today, I have learned the practice of criminal and appellate law from some of the finest attorneys in the country. I respect my clients and their families above all else and am keenly sympathetic to the fact that, when most of them come to me, they have already been through the difficult and emotionally wrenching process that is a criminal trial, only to lose and find themselves or somone they love very much subject to a long term in prison. I never promise anything to my clients other than the fact that I will wake up and work as hard as I can for them every day until there is a resolution in their case. Every moment I am working for my clients, I know that I carry the burden, not only of their hopes, but also those of their mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends, children, neighbors and so forth. I take this burden seriously enough never to make promises I cannot keep to those people. I enjoy and respect every client I have and appreciate the faith that each and every one of them has placed in my abilities.

Mark Yurachek
Replied last July 22, 2024Nobody wants to hear these kind of things said about their work. The allegations are confusing, severe, insulting and very, very serious, but they are also provably false. I'm limited in the things I can/will say in response, but I do categorically deny each and every one. We worked closely and responsively with this client and his mother (the author of this review) on a habeas case which took longer than they wanted it to take. It is understandable that people don't want to stay in prison and mothers want their sons home and at times, attorneys who do what I do must absorb some anger/venting when people lose patience about that fact, as this client and his mother did multiple times. That goes with the territory, we understand why and that was not the big issue here. There is a line and, without going into detail, this client and his mother crossed that line even after being warned of the consequences of doing so. Given a choice, they chose to terminate the relationship rather than tone down their attacks on me and my staff. We obliged that choice. The money we were paid was earned, as verified after the fact by a neutral third party. I have no ill will toward the former client or his family, but the allegations in this review are demonstrably false and not really worthy of more of a response than that.
