Apathetic and uncaring

Mark Curran provided some of the worst legal representation I have ever experienced. He put no meaningful effort into my case — he forgot court dates, failed to respond to my concerns, and ultimately blamed me for problems caused by an abusive family member. He routinely could not remember basic... details of my case and neglected to review paperwork he was required to read. When a deal was reached, he emailed me documents to sign — except they were the wrong documents entirely, and he never bothered to verify them before sending. I had submitted records for him to review and had to follow up with him multiple times asking whether he had received them. Each time he said no. After weeks of this, he finally admitted he had not been to his office to check his mail because he was focused on other cases and campaigning for public office. I am not exaggerating. I have left reviews of Mr. Curran in the past, and he has retained legal counsel to have them removed. I would treat any positive reviews of his practice with significant skepticism, as he has a pattern of suppressing critical feedback to manage his online reputation.

Careless and innatentive

My experience with Mark is that he is careless and inattentive. He made several mistakes which had to be corrected by myself. He appeared distracted and uninterested throughout.
