After graduating Law School, I worked for a year in the State Attorney's Office for the Eighth Judicial District of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. After that, I was an associate in a small general practice family firm in Clarion, Pennsylvania, then eight years as a solo practitioner in Spring Hill, Florida, as a general practice attorney, gaining experience in civil litigation up to the appellate level. I have also handled many collections and mortage foreclosures for private individuals and local banking institutions, and was also an approved attorney for the Trust Department in assisting the drafting of trusts, wills and trust related documents for SunTrust Bank. I am additionally experienced in general contract & corporate law, real property, consumer bankruptcy and probate & trust administration. After running my own firm in Spring Hill, Florida, I joined a law firm in Brandon, FL, in October 1997, where I practiced predominately in the areas of will, trust & estate planning, probate and guardianship, real estate and consumer bankruptcy for nine years.

Update Living Trust
Mark, updated our Living Trust and was very thorough and timely in doing what was needed to update the Living Trust. He also answered questions that were asked about a Living Trust.
"I have known Mark since 1991. We shared office space in Spring Hill where I practiced Family Law from 1991 to 2001. He was my mentor when I started practicing law after moving to FL from NY. I could always count on him for good direction and always trusted his judgment. He prepared my Living Trust and I have referred many of my friends, especially those in Heritage Pines, to him when they needed Estate Planning advice. He has represented me with regard to the Estate of a client for whom I served as co-trustee. He is easy to talk with, is detail oriented, and very thorough. He is always looking out for his clients' best interests and makes sure that they fully understand what needs to be done. We have become good friends through the years and I value his judgment and friendship!"
