Very unprofessional

The old saying if you represent yourself, you have a fool for a client. Well I'd rather a fool represent me than this clown. Actually I don't even know if the man even exists, I was never able to talk to him and neither was my child, everything was handled by his secretary who never returned a phone ...call like she said she would. I was never once contacted by either Mark or the secretary ,I had to contact them even though they said they would call right back. One star is really to many!

Not recommended

Unfortunately Mark was not a reliable attorney. He agreed to represent our case and then all of a sudden never returned our calls or text messages. It was very unprofessional for him to just stop all communication with us without any rhyme or reason. I do not recommend him solely based on the lack of... communication and explanations.

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.
