Real estate Attorney | Jul 14
Relationship: Co-worker
"I had the opportunity to work side-by-side with Mark for over three years. He cares about his clients and the value they receive from his services. I consider Mark an expert in real estate law as I personally watched him successfully handle complex real estate transactions and litigation. His moral and ethical standards are superb and I would not hesitate to refer a client to him."
