Contested Divorce with Children

Mark fought for me every step of the way from day 1. My ex-wife tried to take my kids away by making false allegations and leave me no custody. Not only did Mark do what was necessary to help prevent that, he was pivotal ensuring I received 50/50 custody. He was very responsive and supportive of all ...my questions & concerns. I can’t thank you enough.

Excellent Divorce/Family Lawyer

If you need a good family/divorce counsel, do yourself a favor and look no further! I spent months with a lawyer that did nothing for my case, super passive, and uninterested. I felt alone, lost, stressed, and helpless. Not to mention I did not trust her nor felt she had my best interest in mind o...r provided me the right counsel. Mark was great from the very beginning. I could sense his drive, knowledge, and willingness to help resolve the case. I did not feel any doubts in hiring. I stopped feeling alone and in despair during this whole process immediately. He truly reads and listens, so you do not have to keep repeating details and facts. He provided great counsel, was always professional, straightforward, understanding, available, and super responsive.

cannot recommend enough!

Mark and his staff went above and beyond to help with my divorce. The process was made far simpler than I expected and I was informed regularly on the status of my case. I have already referred Mark to friends, and will continue to do. Beyond thankful this already difficult process was not made any h...arder than it needed to be.

Worth every penny!!

Ok, this divorce started out with an expedited serve to my ex. I dealt with an exparte in the very beginning, I was given great advice from the get go. From emergency text responses to answers to questions that I emailed late at night that happened to pop in my mind, his response time is noteworth...y! If he wasn’t in court, he was extremely responsive! This case was very trying for both her attorney and mine (Mark). He was able to reassure me of any insecurities I had during the process. He will tell you exactly how it is, with no buffering words, straight to the point. He is definitely worth the price,IMO. He mentioned MULTIPLE times that he wants this settled as soon as possible. He did everything he could to try to move the process along as quickly as possible, to include badgering her attorney. I would without hesitation, retain Mark again! Thanks, Mark!

Steady

Mark is a steady hand when it’s needed. My case had volatility and I was unsure what the end result would be. Mark assured me that the plan we set forth would work and it did. Thanks!
