A+, exceptional lawyer! Highly recommended.

I would absolutely recommend this lawyer! He maintained regular communication with me while always keeping me updated on my case. He will fight for you and his representation will ensure you receive justice. Without him and the lawfirm he works in I would still be fighting alone in this and completel...y stressed out. I would recommend over and over again to get Mark Troutman to represent you as your lawyer!

Help when we really needed it!

My organization was involved in a complicated legal battle last year. Mark and his firm always made those of us involved feel as though we were an integral part of the process. Our side prevailed in the end however, I am convinced that we would not have won were it not for the efforts of Mark and hi...s firm.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
