This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Attorney

Mark assisted in a copyright infringement case of mine back in 2012. Actually, there was another attorney (Jim) who the firm had handling the majority of my case with Mark and I was not happy with that "attorney" at all. The firm was great, this particular attorney was not. No surprise he was no long...er with the firm soon after. Mark on the other hand was professional, reassuring, diligent, competent and professional. In a pretty dire situation, he gave me hope and in the end, I received a pretty fair judgment, all things considered. Some people have the temperament and skill set to get the job done. Thank God Mark was there to help me in this case. To this day, I'm very grateful. Regards, Bill B

Excellent Co-Counsel

Mark and I were co-counsel on a case together, and he was excellent. He was very prepared and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure working with him, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

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.
