Saved my career before it even took off.

Mark saved my career before it even got started. At the time I hired Mark to repsent me, I was a college student in nursing school. Just like any normal college student I got a job to help pay the bills. I chose to become a bartender. It was a great environment to get a nice break from a stressful on...e. Unfortunately one night working a security guard accidentally allowed a minor into the bar and I happened to be the unlucky bartender that served him. Due to the law an Alabama, the bartender and bar are found at fault for serving a minor (regardless if the minor is mismarked or allowed in by the security team that is hired to check ID's). I found myself in a very tough spot. I had a charge on my record for serving a minor while in a very prestigious nursing program. As you can imagine, nursing students are held to high standards and being professional is one of them. So you can imagine how it made me look when my charge came up on a background check... not good. I was then told by the school that I would more than likely be put on probation coming out of school due to the charge. This charge not only effected me mentally and emotionally, it was going to affect my nursing career. A career that I already worked so hard for. That is when I decieded to hire Mark Morrow to help me resolve this issue. He did a wonderful job. Mark worked deligently and persistently to help me get the best result. After countless amount of months, weeks, days, hours and several court hearings, Mark was able to get my case thrown out. My career is no longer in jeporady. I am able to graduate from school without having to fear any probation or after effects that could negatively impact my job. I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome of this case. I strongly recommend Mark Morrow. You won't be disappointed with his services. He is someone I know I can always count on.

Dismissed & Expunged DUI

Mark handled my case flawlessly which involved being accused of DUI. A DUI can severely damage a young persons reputation and hinder them from future employment. I heard about Mark via word of mouth and I am sure glad I did. Mark was able to get my case dismissed via pre-trial diversion. He was also ...able to get my arrest and court records expunged because just being accused of a DUI seems bad in employers eyes this day and time. I would highly recommend Mark due to his ability to get things done effectively and efficiently with favorable results.

A huge help in a difficult time

Mark was a fantastic help to me in a difficult time in my life. He was professional and very understanding, he knew the correct route to take in order for this event to have the smallest impact on my life possible. He negotiated the legal environment perfectly and made sure we took the correct route,... even though it would have been easier to just take the first easy option. He was patient, courteous, friendly, and understanding when we need continued reassurance and guideance. He did and continues to work for us in a truley exception way. He took a very personal approach and even met me personally when I was unexpectedly picked up. I cannot say enough about Mark's legal guidance and personal touch, it has made all the difference in my life.

Defense Case

I highly recommend Mr. Mark Marrow for any individual who may be seeking legal representation. I have used him in defending me when there were alleged charges of a DUI. He was very thorough during the entire trial and represented my case to the jurors, explaining the event in detail. His presenta...tion to the jurors revealed the facts and a unanimous decision of "Not Guilty" was delivered.
