Stay away

Mark was a terrible attorney and we ended up firing him, but not until we had paid him thousands of dollars. He was hard to communicate with and seemed like he was only in it for the money. He didn't complete things he was supposed to in our custody case. He also sent us information for a case that w...asn't ours, kept forgetting our son's name and kept referring him to a girl. He is incredibly incompetent, greedy, rude and is not clear at all in his communication. I would definitely stay away from Mark!

Outstanding Lawyer

In a dark time, when trying to protect myself and my son for our rights, Mark did an amazing job. I would highly recommend him.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
