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.

As a member of a team to find a new Attorney to represent our Not for Profit organization, I was pleased to bring Mark Sullivan's name to the table. We did engage Mark's services and for the past 6 years he has proven his value over and over. His diverse knowledge and expertise continues to provide ...us with superior guidance through the complex process of negotiating with Lenders, Title companies, member disputes and contracts. It is Mark's "tough but kind" demeanor that has kept a calm perspective in even the most uncomfortable and challenging situations. His timely responsiveness, absolutely fair billing, and integrity have confirmed our decision in choosing Mark for all of our legal needs and has inspired us to unequivocally recommend him to members of the general public.
