Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Mark is not only an excellent and experienced attorney - probate, wills and trusts, real estate and business, but he is also one of the finest human beings I know. I have been involved in many business deals with Mark over a period of time of more than 25 years now - in fact he is my real estate partner. I have zero problem trusting Mark on a hand shake. How many people can one say that about? I think this alone speaks volumes as to his character and integrity."

Estate planning lawyer | Apr 21

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have known Mark as an attorney for over thirty years but only in the last year have had the pleasure of being his co-worker and interacting with him daily. He is a very skilled and experienced estate and probate attorney and I am so pleased to be able to refer friends and former clients to him for there estate needs. He is also very skilled in real estate law which makes up a large part of his practice, and in that capacity he has been my lawyer: he has been instrumental in getting a property line matter resolved for my husband and myself. I highly endorse Mark and cannot say enough good things about him personally and about his legal abilities in these areas of law."
