Mark Diehl Sullivan

Our organization hired Mark Sullivan four years ago. We needed legal advice on some longstanding and ongoing issues. We were impressed with how quickly he grasped the facts and provided options. Mark did not try to rush us to litigate but rather encouraged a non court solution. Once it was clear tha...t was not to happen, he advised us on other paths. Mark was clear about the issues, estimated the costs, length of time the effort might take and guided us with dignity and expertise through the processes. We prevailed in each case. Having Mark as our attorney gives us great peace of mind.

Mark has served as my company’s legal counsel for the past five years. During that time he’s helped us successfully navigate a wide range of vexing legal issues including implementing our stock option plan. I find Mark exceptionally easy to work with- he’s sharp, responsive and, when necessary, har...d-nosed. Perhaps even more importantly, he knows how to rein-in my sometime irrational urge for legal confrontation when it’s not in the company’s best interest. I recommend Mark without reservation.

We have hired Mark on 3 separate occasions; twice to review minor issues for us, and once for an extremely large problem that was potentially devastating. We last hired Mark to help us (and another great attorney, Richard R. Thomas, of Scottsdale, AZ) with a complex commercial litigation case involv...ing a $Trillion multinational corporation with unlimited legal/financial resources. We have known other lawyers with big egos and control issues. Not Mark. He is great to work with! Mark collaborated with our other attorney extremely well. Additionally, he welcomed our input as clients, and worked closely with us every step of the way. This was a particularly complex and challenging case that required attorneys to do detective work and extensive research. Whatever Mark didn't already know, he learned or figured out; he didn't just stick with strategies he was familiar with or had previously employed. Mark was impressively thorough! Further, his preparation for hearings, depositions, etc. was not only noteworthy, but admirable. Mark's high levels of professionalism, ethics, and true integrity served us well; and, we believe, added even more credibility to our case in the eyes of the judges. It is our opinion that any judge, jury, arbitrator, or mediator will not only like Mark, but, most importantly, really respect him. Mark's billing practices have been very fair, and he has deserved every penny. Mark has heard our "thank you's", witnessed our tears of joy, and has felt our genuine hugs... and there is still gratitude we have yet to express for what he has done for us. While we are hoping to never again be involved in any type of lawsuit, we would, without hesitation, put our trust in Mark D. Sullivan again.

Mark D. Sullivan has represented our company for the past six years, enabling resolutions on various legal disputes with some of our customers in the hardware/construction arena. Prior to retaining him for legal counsel, we did our "do diligence" and discovered how extensive his background is in com...mercial litigation, including complex environmental matters. We immediately knew that Mark was the attorney to represent us concerning legal issues within the construction industry. In one extremely difficult case in particular, our company prevailed in District, as well as Supreme Court, with an affirmation in full of the District Court's judgment. We were awarded damages in full, including interest and attorney's fees and costs. This case was unusually challenging and required extensive research, writing time, and attention to detail. It is very impressive to watch Mark in action before the Courts. He always comes prepared using his skills and experience to persuasively present and argue the matters at hand. We have recommended Mark on several occasions to others requiring legal counsel. He is definitely the attorney you want representing you and standing by your side.

Mark Sullivan recently defended me in a civil suit and we had a successful outcome. The suit was frivolous but it had the potential for serious consequences for my business. Mr. Sullivan was stellar from day one. He is extremely well versed in matters of construction law; he worked out a strategy tha...t would cost me far less than I anticipated, and he obtained a dismissal for me far more quickly than I expected. We worked together even though I was out of state for most of my case and in every way, he sought to diminish my anxiety and lay out a clear and compelling plan of action. I felt informed at every turn, and his personable, forthright manner made me confident I was in the right hands. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their lawyer.
