Excellent attorney - professional, knowledgeable, efficient

I heard of Mark several years ago through a friend. I never got to work with him until recently though - my naturalization process got stalled for no apparent reason. I consulted with Mark on this issue in November 2013. He recommended couple of approached to explore. After trying them out, he ended ...up taking over the case for a federal court filing. USCIS approved my application within 5 weeks and the case was dismissed. I found Mark and his staff to be very knowledgeable, trustworthy and efficient. I extremely impressed how quickly the case was resolved. I'd certainly recommend him to anyone with an immigration problem to tackle. Excellent work!

Excellent Asylum Lawyer. Highly Recommended.

I spent quite a few months looking for an asylum lawyer. I probably talked to more than 15 lawyers and decided to hire Mr. Davidson, because, from the get-go, it was obvious that Mr. Davidson was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in asylum cases. Now, a few months later, I have my asylum gr...anted. Yaaay! :) I am sure that, if not for Mr. Davidson, the outcome could have been different. He really helped present a very solid case with well-developed supporting/evidence documents. I strongly recommend Mr. Davidson to anyone who is seeking help with his/her asylum case. He is very professional, honest, and responsive (although quite succinct in his responses :), as he does tend to focus on important things).

Very complicated Case

Without Mark I would never had a chance to stay in the U.S. and get my Green Card. My journey started ten years ago and saw no light at the end of the tunnel. Other lawyer who I dealt with only buried me deeper in my unfortunate situation. But he saved me. The only regret I have is that I did not se...ek his help sooner. Highly experienced, courteous, caring, and straight-shooting professional, Mark Davidson will never give empty promises just to get your money. I encourage everyone looking for an honest attorney, who will do his/her job in good faith, to contact Mr. Davidson. Dear Mark, you will always have a special place in my life and in my heart and I am forever thankful for having met you!

no need for a lawyer who gives you smile then fail in your case .. your are professional Mr.Mark

first of all i would like to say that we really passed over alot of lawyers but we found them only care for fees and pretending to invent a story to won the case regardless the actual case , but Mr.Mark heard us first then he decide to take our case upon he agreed that we saying the truth and facts ,... we were amused to work with him and his great helpful team , he respond immediately to our inquiries , quite impressed with his knowledge and professionalism , as well we knew by second meeting with him that really we had the best lawyer in Illinois , I read a review that Mr.Mark care for fees ... but what we had went through as any asylum family we still owe him fees even he won our case and got granted in such short time ,,, we still owe him fees and will pay it once get constant job . we owe you our life Mr.Mark and Ylka . Appreciate your kindness and your great assistance .

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.
