I am a pro-business attorney. I work for my client to meet their needs, not my own. Therefore, I strive to inform my clients of the legal issues and options available to them in each stage of the deal. But, I realize that it is really their business (or opportunity) not mine. They make the final informed decisions rather than me. In that way, my client is most comfortable with the results.
I strive to ethically represent my client's best interests in all ways and at all times. Therefore, while giving them the best legal representation that I can provide, I also try to identify: 1) non-legal issues that they may also need to consider; and 2) specialized professionals who they may also need to consult in order to be fully informed about the impact of their plans. I understand that there are often other professionals who are better equipped to meet my client's complete needs and encourage their participation.

I own a business brokerage firm and have been working with Mark Avery and the team at Hajjar Peters for several years, relying on their expertise for business closings.

I truly hate attorneys. I have run businesses for 30 years and will do almost anything to avoid working with them. The one exception in all that time is Mark Avery and his team. He has handled several transactions for me including a very large one ending 15 years of work building a company for exit. ...

I can't say enough about Mark. He was all of the things listed above - trustworthy, quick to respond, knows his stuff, and kept me informed with things regarding my business' circumstances. Relative to other attorney's I've worked with, he has been by far the most enjoyable experience. I would reco...
"Mark Avery demonstrates daily his special strengths in providing excellent business and corporate legal representation and personal service to business clients according to the highest standards of ethics, fairness, and integrity. I have enjoyed several clients in common with Mark and would never hesitate to take a corporate matter to him. He is the embodiment of hard work and intregity. Mark is highly experienced in commercial transactions pertaining to business, commercial real estate, wealth preservation and estate planning needs. You cannot go wrong selecting Mark as your legal advisor and confidant in the most important matters."
"Mark is a true professional. He is absolutely dedicated to providing his clients with excellent legal advise and services at a reasonable cost. I learned alot about the kind of attorney I want to be during the several years I worked with Mark. Mark is a lawyer I can recommend without hesitation, and without any concern that the referred client will be provided anything less than the best a lawyer can offer. Mark is able to work well with other lawyers without sacrificing his client's position, another trait that serves him, his clients and his profession well."
"Having been across the table from Mark on a acquisition I can say that he is one of the most professional and reasonable lawyers I have had the opportunity to work with. His assessment of the issues presented in the transaction was very accurate and fair. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him in the future."
