Posted by Dennis | July 7, 2016 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A true professional!

Mark and his staff handled a very complicated personal injury case for me. My impression is Mark is one of the hardest working, honest, decent people I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. No Bs, shoots from the hip, always returns phone calls and many times went the extra mile, A true profe...ssional..! Thanks Again

Excellent all the way

I contacted their down town office for my minor child, that had been involved in a car accident. It was a bit tricky, as we live out of state and the accident occurred in Chicago. With only phone calls, and emails to go on, Mr. Karno and his staff were wonderful in taking care of this issues we had,... without us ever having to go to Chicago! Thank you and keep up the great work!

Excellent attorney/client relationship

I was in a bad car accident that derailed a lot of my plans and goals. Mark did an excellent job of helping me get my life back on track again. He was very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He answered my questions quickly and knew exactly how to handle my case. He has really done a lot ...for me and for that I am grateful. I am glad he was in my corner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
