This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Knowledgeable Experienced Family Attorney

Four years into my personal family court case, involving young children and opposing party substance abuse dynamics, Mark Candioto has been by far the most honest, sincere and knowledgeable attorney I have encountered in the family court practice. Mark was able to successfully challenge and win my ca...se against a local law firm that is known for bad/dirty law practices. Mark considered all aspects of my case, made recommendations for the future and followed through with everything he said he would do. Mark's legal team at Parker Schwartz parallels his work ethic in a friendly and affordable manor. Speaking from an unconventional side of the fence, I cannot thank Mark Candioto and his team enough, for saving my children's lives. Respectfully, A father with sole custody of two children

Mark's title fits him well. He lives up to his name and title

Mark was very thorough in explaining what to expect in this case. He stopped at our home 3-4 times during the litigation period and was always very personable and helpful answering questions, providing information, whether in person, phone or online. He provided all necessary paperwork and gave cle...ar instructions about what had to be done on our part and his. We feel he did as much as he could to give us a fair settlement.

I Highly Recommend Mark

Mark was great. He was competent, compassionate and believed in my case. He was willing to fight for me and ultimately achieved the best possible outcome for my case. I am incredibly grateful for his help and would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated attorney.

Awesome job.

i was quite pleased with the process of my case. Mark helped me understand the jargon and guided me through some very difficult court precedings. He made sure that I had all the information needed to make the logical and best decision possible. Mark also made sure that we were getting what was deserv...ed and what was right. I have and would recommend Mark Candioto to represent them at any juncture of their divorce or family court case needs. He is always professional, timely, informative and prepared. I still contact him today with questions or concerns that arise.

Litigation lawyer | Aug 09

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mark is a law school classmate who impressed me immediately with both his intellect, his work ethic, and his commitment to the law. In the years since we graduated I have watched him bring his passion for the law to his legal practice. He is one of a very select few lawyers who I think highly enough to refer my clients to. I have, fortunately, never been in a position to need an attorney myself. If I ever do, though, Mark is one of the first people I will call."
