Worked Out Great

Mark was spot on on listening to what I wanted to get out of the negotiation and we prepared a path. It worked out as planned and he was always available. I recommend Mark as a divorce attorney that was aggressive but most importantly ethical and listened to the client.

The Best!!!

Mark was referred to me from a program we have here at Dell - CLC. I had several referrals but he was the only attorney that responded back to me in a timely fashion. He helped me with all my legal needs and provided stellar services for my custody modification case. He was knowledgeable and w...alked me through the entire process from start to finish. He provided the highest values in Client and Attorney relations. He was easily reached and available throughout the week. Mark was attentive, prompt and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend him for any legal needs. He will get the job done.

Confident & Assuring

I hired Mark to guide me through a very devastating divorce. He guided me with gentle reassurance and logical advice. I was extremely pleased with Mark and would not hesitate to hire him again if needed.

Effective and trustworthy!

Mark did great work for us during a long complicated legal process. He was very easy to talk to and our trust was well placed and our case had the perfect outcome! He is very effective and we would have absolutely no hesitation to use him again. His guidance made things go much more smoothly and we c...an wholeheartedly recommend hiring him.

Responsive, conscientious and effective family attorney

I hired Mark to help me with an "uncontested" divorce where my ex was suffering from depression and anxiety, and was having scary, angry episodes. Mark was sensitive to the complexity with regard to my situation and balanced my desire to be as fair as possible in the agreement with his advice about t...he legal implications my preferences would have on the child custody and property settlement. He was conscientious about the billing and kept me informed as I had him prepare multiple sets of paperwork for court for the different scenarios that could result from my ex's instability. Mark was very responsive throughout the case and I appreciate the fact that he did not steer me toward a long, drawn out divorce.
