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 professional..! 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.
