FINRA Arbitration
I hired Mark for defense against a claim brought by my out of state BD based on an indemnity clause in my RR Agreement for loss resulting form FINRA arbitration panel award to former client who lost money in a private placement, alleging misrepresentation among other claims. Mark drafted an excellent Answer asserting firm legal and equitable defenses, challenging the efficacy and applicability of indemnity clause, among other confidential arguments. Mark secured my home-state forum in contravention to contract forum clause, and after extensive negotiations prompted by detailed and strategic discovery requests, Claimant BD settled the arbitration for a confidential amount with which I was very satisfied. Mark was aggressive in my defense and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing professional legal services. 10 out of 10 for performance and commitment to my case!!!

Securities and Investment Fraud
My FINRA broker dealer terminated me alleging I, and others I controlled, engaged in document alterations.   FINRA and the MN DOC made inquiry into my conduct.  Mark shadow authored my submission that more accurately showed what had happened and put me in a more favorable light.  He was incredibly valuable while appearing for an on-the-record interview by making sure I answered questions to my favor. He is prepared and thorough, and has a personal caring that you do not get in a big firm.

I had a great result and would highly recommend Mark.

FINRA
FINRA had orally said they were filing a Wells Notice which completely caught me off guard. FINRA wanted me to fly out to Maryland to try to resolve this matter. Mark was over the top prepared and got rid of the bogus Wells Notice and I didn't have to go to Maryland. I have since refered my personal clients to him and will continue to do so.

Financial practice acquisition and Debt settlement
Mark has helped me financial practice acquisition and was very successful in negotiations. He has also represented me with debt settlement with a creditor. Mark brings a lot to the table and thinks of many things during negotiations that wouldn't have crossed my mind.

Review of Mark Czuchry
Mark's attention to detail helped us navigate the issues surrounding our need to understand the implications of POA and Trustees. Mark's willingness to put in the extra effort was shown by his allowing for meetings to be held after hours and on weekends. I would highly recommend Mark for your legal needs.

commercial lease review
As an Insurance agency owner I encounter a number of opportunities that require that advice of a great lawyer. Mark has been that lawyer for me for over a decade. He is professional, knowledgeable, reputable and honest. Recently, He even went out of his way to meet me on a Saturday to review and advise me on my agency's lease. I highly recommend him and I refer him to my friends, family and clients every opportunity that arises.
