Excellent Attorney!

I was referred to Mark by a close friend of mine, who had a great experience as well. Long story short, in 2017, a drunk driver rear-ended me (and fled the scene). It was traumatic, to say the least. Mark took the time to understand what exactly took place, what my needs were, and explained my le...gal rights. He also referred me to a great physical therapist. Mark cared about my well-being, not just my case. Overall, Mark was knowledgeable, professional, and always available to answer any of my questions or concerns. I highly recommend Mark!

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ! !

I was standing outside of a courtroom about to go to jail when I first called Mark, needless to say it was hands down the BEST decision I had made. Mark moved my case to the afternoon and I was able to go home, he got the courts to dismiss my case and keep my record clean with no jail time. (Se...cond Experience) I recently had a been facing jail time once again. I was pulled over because I was illegally exiting the carpool lane , while driving with a suspended licence (2nd offence). Mark was able to get my first offence from years ago basically erased and was able to keep my record clean. I served no jail time and only had to pay minimal court fees. I Highly Recommend Retaining His Services For Any Matter

Mark Balali was fantastic and highly professional in navigating me through the legal process of a DUI case. He is aggressive and concise and was able to obtain the results I wanted and some. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to deal with an attorney who knows how to get results and will commun...icate clearly with you.
