A Mark of excellence...

Mark Ossian delivers what one would expect from an advocate representing you. He's handled so many of my "life events" including divorce, contract law as well as my will and trust. I was fortunate to have selected him years ago and have benefited from his expertise for a lifetime. He's really on you...r side all the way. When selecting an attorney, Mark is the best person to be on your side.

Wonderful experience

Mr. Ossian was amazing with my case. He took time to listen and understand my situation. He was cautious of our time when discussing how to handle my circumstances and did an excellent job representing my needs. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help with their divorce.

Caring, Competent,

I went to Mark for a consultation and knew he was the right divorce attorney for me. He was very calm and methodical throughout the year I worked with him. His communication was outstanding with both phone calls and emails. He helped me focus on the most important steps and strived for the best outco...me for myself and my children. He was definitely a guiding light in a horrible storm. I knew I could trust him to bring about the best outcome and he really did. He is a truly compassionate lawyer that I recommend again and again.

Second to None

I have been working with Mark for three years now. From the start he and his staff treated me with nothing but kindness and have a sincere interest in my story and everything that led me to him. He supported me through some of the darkest moments of my life not once judging but guiding as a beloved ...coach or mentor would and in fact this is how I think of Mr. Ossian today. The other side of it is his experience, his reputation of professional integrity, perserverance, commitment to his clients and his craft. You can rest assured he will be 5–10 steps ahead of opposing counsel at all times and as slow as the judicial system may grind if oppposing party is simply immovable and umcompromisable; THERE IS HOPE HERE. He will strategically posture you and himself in a fashio so that you do meet your goals and milestones all the time guiding and teaching you. He will never give up on the what is right and if you are living in good light and are honest and upfront with Mr. Ossian he can establish a plan and re-establish when parts start moving. Working with him & Ty Zdravko is like playing chess with Bobby Fisher at a certain point you just sit back trust and let them grind out the results because that is exactly what happens! May God always Bless Mr. Ossian and if you’re his client you have been blessed and opposing counsel is in a world of trouble.

My Experience

I found Mr. Ossian here on Avvo, he handled my custody/child support case. I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience with Mr. Ossian and him team! From the beginning of the process everyone from the front desk to his paralegals my experience was very accommodating, even though my case was qu...ite unique. His team showed me the utmost respect. I'm just an average Joe, but the attention that was given to addressing the unique circumstances was very exceptional and big thanks to Sheila for being patient with me and for helping me get my paperwork done. When it came time for my mediation Mr. Ossian had proved himself to be seasoned tacticianor in the art of negotiations. My honest expectations of the outcome of my case were average, however I received so much more. Words honestly can't express my gratitude. I would go out of my way to recommend Mr. Ossian, because at the end of the I don't think anybody in the Tampa Bay area could come close to do what he did for me. -Christopher
