About Mark
Biography
I have been practicing in the area of family and divorce law for over 30 years. There is one other lawyer in my office, Attorney Molly Fellenz, and two paralegals. I have been working with the paralegal for over 25 years. We almost always respond to all calls or e-mails within 24 hours. Our number 1 goal is to work out fair and reasonable settlements. However, if that is not possible, we are certainly prepared to litigate. Especially if there are children, it is important not to have such an awful divorce that the parents are unable to speak to one another. We can help protect gifted and inherited property.

Experienced, efficient, effective, conscientious, and successful--the most outstanding representation!
Not all attorneys are snakes! Mark Borns is a good, knowledgeable, experienced, honest, and effective attorney. He let me know right from the outset that the process would be a long drawn-out affair (because he was familiar with the pour-gas-on-flames approach of the opposing counsel). Mark handled ...
Mark F. Borns's Lawyer Endorsements
"Smart, personable and a highly competent, longtime paralegal makes for great client service."
"I heartily endorse this lawyer! Over a period of twelve years, I’ve had the pleasure to work with Mark on many cases involving mutual clients. I was so impressed that I hired him to help me with my own post-divorce matters. He’s a life-saver. Mark is proactive and really goes to bat for his clients. At the same time, he’s strategic, meticulous and no-nonsense. His fees are super-reasonable, too. And, all of this is no secret to his peers—Mark is widely regarded as one of the top divorce and separation attorneys in Wisconsin. I highly recommend Mark."
"Mark is a smart lawyer who cares about his clients. He's a strong advocate but still listens to his clients and understands what they need."
"I endorse this lawyer. I knew Mark many years ago when we were in college at UW Madison. Several years ago, I referred a close relative to Mark for a litigation matter. Mark did an outstanding job and successfully resolved the matter. He is an excellent attorney."
"I endorse Mark. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have worked with Mark as opposing counsel in divorces and he served as Guardian ad Litem for the minor child in one of my cases; I have also worked with him on bankruptcy cases and in cases involving simultaneous bankruptcy and divorce. He is a competetnt, caring, and conscientious advocate for his clients."
"Mark is an aggressive advocate who is respected by his peers in the Dane County legal community."
"Mark is an excellent family law attorney. I have referred all of my clients to him in the past several years since I gave up my family law practice. I can say firsthand that he has taken care of those referrals with skill, competence and compassion. I consider Mark to be one of the top family law litigators in Madison."
