Personal injuries can devastate one’s life, I know because I’ve been there myself. Insurance companies may deal the cards, but we know how to play the game, and well.

Business 17%

Given that I run my own small business and have a background in business, accounting and finance, I understand the various legal problems that businesses can run across. I work to find cost effective solutions to complex problems.

Employment and Labor 16%

I’ve been representing clients, usually plaintiffs, in employment cases for many years. I know how tough employment cases can be. I frequently go to bat for the hourly employee as well as the high level executive when justice comes knocking.

Family 15%

Divorce is a rough and emotional time. I know how hard it is for those with families being broken up and seek to make the process as bearable and amicable as possible. It’s all in the best interest of moving on in a positive and productive way.

Skilled and Diligent Attorney

Mark La Spina is a very accessible lawyer who always answered my emails and returned phone calls the same day. He was knowledgeable and patiently explained each step of the process to me. While he kept the case steadily moving forward, he also used good judgment in choosing the best approach to tak...e and provided me with updates. From start to finish, Mark paid excellent attention to detail, which was advantageous for my case. Mark La Spina is a thorough and competent lawyer. I am so grateful for his kindness and hard work. I highly recommend him.

BEST in his field

While no one wishes to find them self in a wrongfully losing your job, Mr. Mark La Spina was very knowledgeable, trustworthy attorney who knew how to guide me through the process. Plus he took the time to read through and understand my case. Mine was a difficult case, where the evidence in my case mo...stly hidden or verbal or text communications but Mr. La Spina knew where to look and what to ask, to make my case stronger. I was very impressed with Mr. La Spina's ability to get up to speed on the facts of my case and knew exactly how to handle the opponent lawyer and finally I received my severance check, which made me realized, no one should get away treating you badly at work or any place and if you need immediate assistance, then you should be calling Mr. La Spina. I cannot thank him enough and he sure is the best when comes to getting you justice. Thank you for all your help and patience in my case and you made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciate.
