This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mark Moffat outstanding

Mark represented our daughter in a situation where a very young person made a mistake. Mark not only represented her well in the courts but made a significant impression on her which has had wonderful benefits going forward. It has been nearly five years and she is doing wonderfully and we thank Brow...n Bradshaw and Moffat.

justice for all

Mr. Moffat has renewed my faith in "justice for all." Not only excellent in gathering and presenting facts, his presentation was direct, concise and commanded the full attention of the court. His reputation, knowledge, and familiarity were all part of a positive outcome in my case. Mark Moffat is a s...uperior attorney and more importantly, a super person. Honesty and integrity seem to best describe him and his success, but his office staff with fun, friendly and professional attitudes set him apart. Especially Autumn.

Avvo Rating

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.
