Never a doubt.

Never a doubt on who to call when I need a lawyer. Mark has never disappointed us in the many times we have used him. The last time we needed power of attorney because family member was terminal. Called Mark and he explained everything and got us the paperwork asap. Then after that he setup the proba...te paperwork and personal power of attorney for me. Mark is truly genuine to your needs.

Look no further!

My first contact with attorney Gantz was on behalf of a lifelong friend who was troubled, for whom he was the family attorney. He helped tremendously in my efforts to help his client, and couldn't have been kinder in aiding in navigating the unique circumstances. He is a consummate professional, so m...uch so, that my husband and I have had him do routine POA work for us. He goes above and beyond, returns calls timely, and his manner with clients is warm, friendly, and a credit to his profession when it is often viewed as cold and/or uncaring. The staff at his practice is equally kind and efficient, and a pleasure with which to work. Mark is gifted at his work, and is honest, plain-spoken, and goes the extra mile. Took me too long to post my review, but it is honest and heartfelt. You can't do better, in my humble opinion, if you need an excellent attorney...contact Mr. Gantz with confidence. He's extraordinarily knowledgeable, accessible and patient, as are those employed at the practice.

Great and Trustworthy Lawyer

I have used Mark's services twice. The first time was to handle my mother's estate. It was a small estate that we discussed in some detail. I ended up handling the estate myself as he recommended. He walked me through the process that I would need to follow, and copied-off all the paperwork that... I needed to fill out -- for free. The second time Mark helped my wife and I create our Will and Medical and Legal Power of Attorney documents. I have found Mark to be honest, helpful and very kind. He appeared to be concerned about keeping my costs down both times that I worked with him, as a matter of fact that is one of the reasons that I decided to contact him the second time.

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.
