I highly recommend Mark Gatesman for any and all criminal cases!

Mark Gatesman demonstrated knowledge and compassion when representing my son, who was charged with possession of heroin. Mark's knowledge of the law and his experience with addicts who are criminally charges was of great benefit to my son. Mark made sure my son received 7411 treatment in Livingston C...ounty Circuit court so my son didn't have a felony record

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.
