Life Saver!

Mark is a GREAT Attorney who took time to explain in detail what we were up against, while at the same time displaying confidence, respect and concern! Mark stood by us, was honest and upfront! I am so thankful that I was referred to him, because the thought of having our lives put in the hands of a...nother makes me nauseous. I don't think anyone else could do what he did and because we had a heavy hitter we get to live again! The prices are fair and service is exemplary!

Thankful

I can not express enough how Mark took a very horrible situation, walked me through it, calmed my fears, and truly saved my life. He is caring and takes time to explain and answer fearful questions, even at goofy hours. I was considering suicide or running away. He is above excellent at what he do...es. I was sentenced yesterday. He worked hard to get me an awesome plea agreement. The judge even commented to me do you realize how hard your attorney worked to get you the sentence you got. I realize and I am so thankful he took my call at 7 am on a Saturday morning or I wouldn't be writing this. A more caring attorney you will not find along with knowledge and a special way in the courtroom.

Giancola....the best!

I was in a very disturbing scary situation. a situation that anything could have happened I could have went to prison for a very long time if the facts were twisted in a dark manner. out of thousands of pages of discovery and many months Mark assurred me that things would turn out ok. 423 Longmont... I live my life in a panic Zone with my life hanging in the balance and every time I made a court appearance I saw him walk in I was immediately put at ease. his confidence and knowledge are evident. Cool as a cucumber and reassuring to say the least not to mention well-dressed and put together. His demeanor with other members of the courtroom was always professional and pleasant. He certainly commands attention in the room and his opinions is obviously well taken and respected. I would absolutely recommend hiring marks for any court case especially one that you may be particularly frightened about. Mark will definitely have your back do all that he can no matter how long it takes. Thank you Mark for keeping my nightmare from turning into an actual living hell.

  • 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.
