Consummate Professional

Marcus has recently resolved a major issue our development company ran into with a second rate sub-contractor. He handled the issue flawlessly, quickly and efficiently. He is now on retainer with our firm. We look forward to working with him on both personal and professional matters.

Worth every penny

My firm was becoming embroiled in a potentially costly and complicated construction lien case. Mr. Sanborn helped us to resolve the issue in our favor and thus avoid a long drawn out legal battle. We'll be using Mr. Sanborn's services in the future.

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.
