Mark won my case.

I was divorced seven years ago but my former spouse was not abiding by some of the details in our decree. Among these details was a refusal to pay for half of our child's health insurance premiums. I found Mark online and met with him for a free consultation. In that consultation he spelled out a ...methodical plan of action. He advised we provide my former spouse with every opportunity to settle out of court but ultimately she chose not to do so. In preparing to go to court Mark was clearly in his element. He and his staff put together extensive documents illustrating the history of unpaid health insurance premiums. We met to prepare for the court date and he discussed the legal precedent he researched that backed our position. Based on his assessment I was convinced we had a good chance of winning. Once inside the courtroom his professional manner and incisive presentation put me at ease and gave me confidence. Our case lasted about two hours and the judge ruled in our favor. My former spouse was ordered to pay back all the unpaid premiums and all my legal fees. I feel genuinely lucky that I found Mark. His fees were more than reasonable and the outcome provided tremendous peace of mind. I strongly recommend Mark Thompson. He is a credit to his profession.

Making the best of a terrible situation

When you're experiencing something as painful as divorce, you want it over as quickly and painlessly as possible, and that's just what Mark was able to do. He went out of his way to meet with me on short notice and he was able to close my case in a matter of days. I truly hope that you don't have to... go through this process, but if necessary, you can do a lot worse than Mark.

A great Family Law attorney.

Mark was my atty. 3 years ago for my divorce. He was recommended to me thru a friend. He was prepared, professional and communicated with me every step of the way. I would recommend him to any of my friends and family as an ethical trustworthy attorney.

A Very Satisfied Client

I was referred to Mark by a friend who recently went through a divorce in which Mark was the opposing lawyer. His experience through the divorce process was that Mark was far my informative and knowledgeable with his ex-spouse than what he received. I found the same with Mark and always felt very c...omfortable through the process. I would not hesitate referring Mark to any family or friends believing he would be as reassuring and competent as what I found in working with him.
