As good as it gets

What a great experience! Was referred to Bratt Law by a former colleague and friend who is also in the industry. Mark Bratt was very knowledgeable and helpful with regards to giving me insight on what I needed in order to get my case started and was honest enough to let me know what cases like mine t...ypically settle for. Would highly recommend!

The Best!

Mark was fantastic! An absolute hero to me. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was also incredibly kind. My ordeal was a nightmare, but every time we spoke, my stress level went way down. I felt he was a true advocate and a genuinely caring person. A legit good guy, as compassionate as he is talen...ted. He is well-respected by his peers. He is detail-oriented, and an excellent listener. He was generous with his time and incredibly patient as we discussed my case and my needs. He was wonderful at explaining the legal ins and outs. My issue was a highly-specified tenant law case, so he directed me to some of the best firms in LA for that kind of law. I honestly don't know what I would have done without him.

Well versed

My mother’s mesothelioma case load was extensive (20+) and Mark did a brilliant job of representing my family. Having several cases during the height of Covid-19 represented challenges, but Mark kept my family informed and educated during the whole process. All cases were resolved over and above expe...ctations. He is an adept professional and it was truly a pleasure to get to know him. Regards, JK Franklin

Kevin - nothing makes me happier than assisting such a great family like yours. I’m sorry your mother didn’t get to see the case to completion. Please take care and let me know if you ever need anything!

Former client

Mark knows his chosen field and works hard for his clients. Can be gentle as a lamb or tenacious as a bear after honey. He was very helpful and supportive during weeks of depositions.

Attorney Review

When we first found out about my mesothelioma diagnosis we didn’t know what to do or where to turn to. Our attorneys went over and beyond in discovering the cause and affects of asbestos and the negligence my employer committed and all the harm this did to me and probably many others. Mark was pa...tient and a very good listener. He listened and gathered all the facts. He worked very hard and persevered in preparing and. deliberating our case. His responsiveness and great communication skills helped us settle and win our lawsuit. Thank you for helping us ease the pain and financial loss that comes with this illness.

Alfred - it was truly an honor representing you, Leticia and your family in your case. You are amazing people and I’m so thankful you entrusted me to handle your trial and that together we were able to achieve the $11.2 million dollar verdict. Mark

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.
