Smart Consultation

I hired Mark to consult on my very complicated estate case that had been horribly messed up by my first lawyer. He was able to quickly review what was going on and give me an intelligent assessment of my case. I regret that he was not able to take my case. I'm sure it would have been resolved much mo...re quickly and with much less heartache, pain and financial expense. God forbid I ever have to go to Probate Court again, but if I did, Mark would be my first choice for counsel.

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.
