Lake Front Property Laws and Riparian Rights

Highly recommended. Mark and his team were well versed on circumstances pertaining to riparian rights and Michigan land laws. We were impressed with the attention to detail and Marks ability to maneuver into a favorable outcome.

Walk Away

Please do not consider utilizing Mark's services as an attorney. He was placed on a retainer. We never saw an itemization one time. He just kept billing hours (we are not even sure what he was billing for and why) and told us we met our retainer early in the case. He would then bill separately for do...cuments he never mentioned would be billed. He did not recall key aspects of the case and needed reminders to stay on track as he was more concerned that we all know details of previous cases than our own. I would strongly suggest using someone else if it is anything more than legal documents you require.

NOT IMPRESSED

When our parents passed away, we used Mark's services to settle their estate since he was local. Bad idea. He kept us waiting for our appointment, billed us for chit-chat time, fees were exorbitant, and no sympathy expressed to our family. He and his staff made mistakes and undue delays and requir...ed more documents than legally necessary. After trying to give him a chance, we finally had to release him from his services and hired another lawyer who was so much better, friendlier and more efficient!

Highly recommend

I have never dealt with a lawyer or custody issues before; I had lots of concerns and questions after sperating with my child’s father. Mark answered all my questions honestly and eased the concerns I had. In court he was very professional and did an excellent job fighting for my case. He continues ...to answer questions that arise and help with custody issues I face. I would highly recommend Mark!

Real Estate Closing

Mark was very attentive in our case from day one. He was gracious enough to give his legal counsel on several occasions before we pursued hiring him to file a lawsuit against the sellers of our potential home. He is very professional and forthcoming on what you are entitled to as well as the outcom...e of the matter. I was very pleased with my experience and will absolutely recommend him 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.
