Excellent Lawyer

Mark was my lawyer in a legal situation that I was involved Mark was very professional and kept me informed during the whole case I would recommend him to any one that needs legal help.

Highly Recommended and Endorsed--Exceeded Expectations

My daughter attends college in Arizona and was involved in an incident that required legal representation. As I am in another state, I did not have the luxury of a personal recommendation regarding an attorney and was at the mercy of the internet. I spoke with several attorneys and found Mr. Anders...en to be very responsive and knowledgeable about what he could accomplish and the estimated costs. As it turns out, Mark was able to facilitate the best possible outcome on behalf of my daughter. He communicated every step of the way, returned all calls and emails promptly and stayed within the parameters of the estimated expenses. In fact, he went over and beyond what was expected in terms of follow-up and support. As a parent, I felt confident that my daughter's case was being handled with the utmost in legal expertise and that undefinable element of caring that makes him an outstanding advocate. I would not hesitate to recommend his services and would confidently endorse him personally and professionally.

incredible lawyer for any situation.

Mr. Anderson was exceptional not only from the begining but even after my case had been resolved, he made many points to say that i coukd always reach him for any reason. Mark helped me in ways i know would not have been possible if i had gone another route. I would reccomend him to anyone who is see...king an honest and very hardworking attorney. One of the many things i found ao amazing about him was that in our first meeting, he explained completely how i could go at my case without him, this was very comforting and unexpected. Mr. Anderson is the guy you want if you are looking to have someone to handle everything and keep you stress free. Best decision i have ever made.

Great lawyer.

I hired Mark to represent me in a criminal case. He kept me informed, and handled my case in a very professional manner. I would recommend Mark to anyone who needs a great lawyer.

Excellent Legal Defense

Mr. Mark Andersen is an outstanding attorney. I found myself in a very sticky legal situation. I hired a different attorney from Mr. Andersen, and he quickly ran up fees in the thousands of dollars, and we were not any closer to resolving my problem. (in fact, things were WORSE!!!) I then consulted ...a friend that was a family law attorney, and he referred me to Mark. After our first meeting, I knew that I needed a change. I fired the other "attorney" and hired Mark Andersen immediately. He helped to explain the processes, and guided me to a successful conclusion. I am forever thankful for Mr Mark Andersen. I would recommend him to anybody who is seeking for good, honest legal help.

Mark has extraordinary people skills. I have tried cases with Mark both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. I feel very comfortable recommending him. In fact if I could not represent a family member I would want Mark to do it."
