Excellent communication

Mark was very helpful with a recent criminal charge, I contacted him, he put things into motion and represented us as he stated. I would definitely hire him for representation should we ever need the help again.

The best experience. Mark got my case dropped!

Mark is an excellent attorney and helped me through an extremely difficult time in my life. After my consultation, he gave me confidence and provided me with realistic outcomes of how my case would turn out. And he started on my case the same day after our first meeting! Ultimately, he was able to ge...t my case dropped by the state! Mark is a board certified criminal defense attorney. This is all he does, so he knows this process better than most, and is an expert. That gave me so much confidence knowing that I would be in the best of hands. And there's the personable side to Mark. He was available anytime I needed him. He answered all my questions and kept me feeling positive throughout the entire process. Even when I needed a quick pep talk to uplift my spirits, Mark listened and knew what to say. And the fact that I could communicate with Mark when I needed him was one of the biggest factors of why I chose him to represent me. That's so important when you're going through such a difficult time. Thank you Mark for everything that you have done!

YOU CAN'T LOSE WITH MARK BY YOUR SIDE

MY WIFE WAS ARRESTED IN APRIL 2020 FOR ASSAULT & BATTERY ON A POLICE OFFICER AND RESISTING ARREST WITH VIOLENCE. SHE HAD TWO 3rd DEGREE FELONIES TO FACE IN COURT. EACH FELONY CHARGE CARRIED A 1-5 YEAR SENTENCE, AND A $10,000 FINE FOR EACH. SHE WAS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE. SO I STARTED TO INTERVIEW LAW...YERS FROM THE INTERNET ADVERTISEMENTS. I SPOKE TO 4 DIFFERENT LAWYERS AT 4 DIFFERENT LAW FIRMS, AND DID MY BACK GROUND CHECKING ON ALL THE FIRMS AND LAWYERS, AND MARK WAS THE WINNER, NOT ONLY FOR HIS POSITIVE REASSURANCE OF HELPING MY WIFE, BUT ALSO FOR HIS KIND AND UNDERSTANDING DEMEANOR, AND HIS INCREDIBLE SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME OF CRIMINAL TRIAL WINS. MARK WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO SPEAK WITH, AND IF NOT, DUE TO HIM BEING IN TRIAL, HIS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND KIND ASSISTANT CHRISTINE, WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE, AND WOULD HELP ME WITH QUESTIONS AS MUCH AS SHE COULD, AND IF NOT, MARK ALWAYS RETURNED MY CALL, AND SPENT THE TIME TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT CHRISTINE WAS UNABLE TO. MARK WAS THE RIGHT CHOICE, HE GOT MY WIFE OFF WITH ONLY PROBATION, WITH NO JAIL TIME, AND NO FINES, AND HE ACCOMPLISHED THIS IN ONLY 3-1/2 MONTH’S. SHE IS NOW IN A PTI PROGRAM, AND DOING FINE, IF SHE STAYS ON TRACK AND DOES WHAT SHE’S SUPPOSED TO DO, SHE COULD COMPLETE THE PTI IN PROGRA IN AS LITTLE AS 3 MONTH’S, MAKING HER A FREE WOMAN AGAIN. THANK YOU MARK AND CHRISTINE FOR BEING SO GOOD AT YOUR JOBS, AND ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR ME, AND MOST OF ALL FOR SAVING MY WIFE FROM GOING TO JAIL. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOUR FIRM TO ANYONE WHO WOULD ASK ME WHO SHOULD THEY CALL. I WOULD TELL THEM TO CALL MARK CONAN, AND NOBODY ELSE, YOU CAN’T LOSE WITH HIM ON YOUR SIDE. THANK YOU MARK, THANK YOU CHRISTINE, GOD BLESS YOU BOTH…… YOUR FRIEND NOW FOR LIFE. …… DON D.

Best Attorney out there

Mr. Conan has helped me though years of legal matters and has been my attorney though multiple legal cases, the outcomes have always been the best. He fights hard for his clients and always goes above and beyond to try and get the best outcomes for your case. If you need a criminal defense attorney I... would not hesitate to contact Mr. Conan. Everyone in his office is super nice as well, they will all make you feel at home and comfortable!

Relationship: Family member

"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."

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.
