Very Professional and Knowledgeable!

Mark Cohan has been an excellent representative in my misdemeanor case and helped me through a personally difficult time with timely advice and understanding. He understands the specifics of Sumter County procedures and was familiar with my judge. That helped me avoid unnecessary red tape and extra c...ourt costs.

All was lost until we hired Mark

Mark Conan of Conan & Herman recently defended me against a felony charge that carried a 5yr term of imprisonment and $5000 fine. Considering that i have lived all my life without getting into any serious legal trouble (criminal or civil), having to go through this experience was very scary and surr...eal. Mark, was with me every step of the way and assured me that he didn’t take cases to lose them, but to win. When I thought all was lost, Mark was able to get me into a Pretrial Intervention program (PTI) and by abiding by the rules, I will be able to get the program terminated early and all charges against me will be dropped. Aside from getting the case dismissed, the PTI program was the best case scenario, one that I am truly grateful for. Mark Conan is a terrific criminal attorney. He has practiced in Lake County for many years and has built a very respectable reputation amongst the judges and state attorneys office - very important when defending against criminal charges. Not only is he an excellent and experienced criminal attorney, but he is also very understanding, he cares for his clients, and has reasonable fees. I would refer and recommend Mark to anyone in need of criminal defense. Thank you Mark, and the Conan & Herman legal team, for all the work you did on my case, because of you I am able to sit at my computer, in the safety and comfort of my own home, to write this review.

Excellent Lawyer and Great Person

Seven days before my son's graduation from college, and the beginning of the next stage of his life, he was involved in an altercation that resulted in two felony charges, Battery on a law enforcement officer and Resisting officer without violence. As parents we felt helpless, scared and did not kn...ow where to turn. It was suggested we contact Conan and Herman law office for guidance. The moment we spoke with them we knew they had empathy and understanding for our situation. They assured us they would do everything in their power to resolve the situation in a fair and reasonable way. A weight was lifted off our shoulders and heart as we realized from the first conversation that they were there for us. Conan and Herman were true to their word and gave my son excellent representation. They gave him his future back. There is no greater gift a parent could receive, and no words that can express our appreciation!

Mark Conan--Great Lawyer

I was charged with domestic violence a couple months ago. My family contacted Mark, based on a referral from a lawyer that was a family friend of ours. While I was in jail, Mark came to see me in the middle of the night, about 11pm, after my family contacted him. He took the time to sit down with me,... make sure I was okay since I had never been in jail before and reassured me that everything would be okay. He stayed with me for at least and hour and showed me the process how we would go about fighting the charges. After that, I hired him on the spot, he was very genuine and spoke in confidence that he would help me all the way through. The experience I had with Mark was incredible. Throughout the entire process, Mark kept me very informed via text and phone calls. Mark was calling me and texting me more than I was contacting him. Mark made feel at ease about the entire situation. He also told me from the beginning that if I needed anything then I could contact him on his personal cell phone. I felt very relieved knowing that I had him in my corner. In the end, the case was dropped due to "No Information Notice". Mark is currently working on having the charges expunged from my record. I honestly can't thank him enough for how he handled my case.

"The side of Mark I see outside the office speaks volumes about his character. For the past eighteen years, I have watched Mark devote his personal time to improving the lives of his clients. His abilities have made beneficial, life-changing diffferences in those who choose to hire and work with him. I think Mark is one of the last few criminal defense attorneys who is truly dedicated to public service, and the quality I most admire about him is the fact that he remains humble. He doesn't rest on his past successes. With every new case, Mark remembers and repeats the hard work that earned him his well-respected status in the first place. I'd want nobody else by my side."
