Great lawyer!

I have never met one that takes such personal interest on your case as Mark does. He is always available via phone or email. You don't get to speak with a paralegal, like other offices, you speak with your attorney, all the time. Absolutely outstanding service. And best of all, he gets the job done r...ight.

experienced and confident representation

Our young adult son found himself grossly overcharged for a crime that would've ruined his adult life. His father and I hired one attorney and were getting no where. Then came along Mark. Mark treated our son and his concerns as if they were his own. He worked immediently on my sons case and within 1... week had us a deal on the table that we could not refuse! Mark has the experience, the knowledge and confidence to obtain the best possible outcome in any situation. He is highly respected in his field and will stop at nothing to take care of his clients. Our family felt like we were dealing with family. I highly recommend Mark and his firm for ALL of your legal needs. Top notch representation at its finest.

Strongly recommend Mr. Eiglarsh 100 times

Please excuse any exaggeration I might have towards Mark Eiglarsh and his staff, but words cannot express how grateful I am towards Mr. Eiglarsh. I was facing one of the darkest moments of my life. A couple of family members tried to harm me with false accusations and I faced very steep legal trouble...s. Fortunately, other members of my family came together and reached out to Mr. Eiglarsh. My first meeting with Mark, he was like a knight in white armor, a light in the midst of darkness. He worked diligently to fight for the truth, and made sure that the truth prevailed in the courtroom. Mr. Eiglarsh's team worked tirelessly to make sure that all paperwork, files, and court proceedings were complete in a timely manner. He worked to get the judge to see things in our perspective, and clearly communicated to my family and I everything that was happening. He even took precious time from one of his days, to draft court documents that fought for the truth. Of the short time, I have known Mr. Eiglarsh, him and his team will have a lasting impact on my life. The words "you will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free" has a stronger meaning in my life now more than ever. There was no one who fought for the truth more than Mr. Eiglarsh. If you are reading this Mr. Eiglarsh, if you're reading this, if there were 7 stars on this rating I would not hesitate giving you those two additional stars. I can go on and on, but if you want someone to advocate on your behalf, I strongly encourage Mr. Mark Eiglarsh. His knowledge of the law, his persistence to fight for justice, and his ability to stand up for what is right, makes this world a better place. I am truly grateful for everything he has done. Now I am free from the legal issues, and most importantly, I am free from the family members who made my life a nightmare. Thank you Mark, and team.

Voice of Wisdom

Mark Eiglarsh spoke words of wisdom with compassion and clarity. The time spent with Mark was priceless because he reached out into the unknown and found a soul who he not only comforted in my time of anguish but to uplift me to where I thought I could never be again, with self love. I was faced wit...h being used in identity theft and fraud and it was frightening. After consulting with Mark, I walk away facing what is laid out in front of me with confidence that all will work out one way or the other for the good, in all things. I am in a peaceful place of self awareness, thanks to Mark.
