Mark Baran was a very professional and knowledgeable lawyer. I was able to get ahold of him through his cell phone and/or office at any time with questions. He responded to my calls in a timely order and was helpful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend his services without any he...sitation.His friendly personality was easy to work with and made the process much easier. Mark took the time to go above and beyond his work by explaining everything to me in terms that i could understand. I would highly recommend Mark Baron to anyone as an attorney.
