Caring, thorough and effective!

Mark took the time to listen to my case and ask several questions as well as explain everything to me. I would highly recommend him for all your troubles!

A+ lawyer

Was able to handle my divorce in 1996 very smoothly and without a long waiting period I was very happy!!!

If I could add a 6th star I would!

Mark Rater goes above and beyond for his clients, and or anyone else who is in need of any assistance; not only does he respond to questions in a timely manner, but he also is very honest and helpful. Mark is someone who I would recommend 100% in any case you may have, for his knowledge and efforts t...o help others. Many lawyers may take every penny you have in order to benefit their own well being, but Mark is someone who would put his self in your shoes and work with you in order to better your life or situation and make sure that you know and understand your case 100% or the situation, and wouldn’t leave with any un answered questions. In my opinion; as a mother with many questions, and having children to protect, I feel 100% confident in his words and knowledge that I can move forward with my day to day life and feel confident in my case.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Thankful

Mr. Rater was a knowledgable resource and adamant advocate for my situation. Without hiring him to further assist me, he went above and beyond my expectations. His consultation lasted a few days and the time he spent researching, attending meetings, and making phone calls was more than any other att...orney had done in the past. His devotion to making situations right shows he has compassion for his clients and respect for the law, ensuring everyone be held accountable for their actions. His calm demeanor was consoling and the counseling he administered was well beyond his legal obligations. I would recommend Rater Law to anyone seeking the assistance of an attorney.

  • 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.
