Very professional

Mark handled my custody and visitation modification case which was actually a clean up job of a very botched and not well outlined divorce through a different law firm. It took over a year to get it all straightened out and through that year Mark kept me informed on any new developments and explained... the process to me so that I was prepared. He won my case and did it with pure professionalism, I was very impressed and I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for legal counsel on family court cases, he won't let you down.

Damsel in Distress

In my civil case Mark was extremely competent. Not only did he know his way around the paperwork and logistic side of my case, but he also went to extra mile to help me understand what my best options where! I am please with his how respectfully and quickly we resolved my case. Thanks Mark!

The BEST HANDS DOWN!!!

Hired Attorney Means to handle my high conflict (intimidating ex) divorce and custody. He got me more than 50% of the assets and less than 50% of the debts and primary care giver for my children. This is what I wanted and he nailed it! He does not promise unrealistic rulings but is straight to the... point, knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and never judged me! The definition of professional and courteous!

Professional, Personal & Energetic

After being hit by a drunk driver that resulted in a medically induced coma, hospitalization and permanent disabilities, I consulted numerous attorneys in the Treasure Valley to represent me. Most of them didn't provide me with much hope or that they had my best interests in mind. After talking wit...h Mark about the situation I felt a little more at ease. Mark assisted me in dealing with the numerous insurance hurdles that most people aren't aware of. He was very upfront with the realities of what to expect, not the delusions of monetary grandeur conveyed in the commercials. He was very firm with all the insurance companies, keeping my best interests at the forefront. Always kept me in the know and timely in his correspondence. He has assisted me on numerous occasions in regards to simple legal advice/consultation. He never sugarcoats the answer to what I want to hear, which is comforting when dealing with the complexities of the legal system. I would use Mark again in the future if and/or when needed.

Excellent Attorney

Mark was quick to return my calls and set up meetings to discuss my case. He was calm and professional in the court and made things a lot easier and stress free. He worked diligently and helped me understand all my options. I'm very pleased with the outcome and I would gladly hire Mark again if neede...d in the future.
