Where would I be without Mark?

Posted by

Mark really helped me out during a difficult time. After dealing with disastrous attorneys that had no idea what they were doing, a friend recommended me to Okabe & Haushalter to handle an altercation I had. Finally, I felt like I was working with someone who I could trust. Not only did he make the process simple and easy to understand, but he walked me through all the legal jargon and steps. He made my situation so much more bearable, just by being available and helpful along the way.

Excellent Lawyer

I was scared to be going to court but once I met Mark, I knew he would be an excellent lawyer for me. By the time we went to court, I was not the least bit scared for my case. I had faith in him and he continued to prove his expertise by helping me win my case. I don't know where I'd be without him! Highly recommend him!

Highly Reccomended

Mark was the best attorney I have ever encountered. He is knowledgeable and extremely personable. He made himself available and answered all of my questions in their entirety. He never failed to keep me informed with the proceedings of my case during the most stressful period of my life. He is truly quality representation and I could not imagine what the outcome of my case would have been without him. I would recommend him to anyone!

Excellent!

My nana (grandma) was in a horrible nursing home. It was in another county so my family wasn’t able to see her often. But at some point I noticed the bed sores on her body and I also thought she was losing weight. They brought in other “doctors” and charged us for her “eating disorder”. They were doing a lousy job and it was apparent that my nana was being neglected. I hired Mark to help me make things right for her as I knew they were going to be difficult to deal with. Mark made sure they were held responsible and made charging the nursery home with neglect quick and painless. He was thorough and ensured he took care of every detail. Nana is now happily plump in her new nursery home and I am grateful for all of his hard work. I recommend working with Mark for any legal needs you might have.

Thank You Mark!

Mark was the lawyer I needed. It was great to have him help me with a dispute I had with an employer. If I hadn’t hired Mark I would be out 4k of my hard earned money and that didn’t sound too good to me! Luckily, Mark agreed with me and helped me get what was I was owed. I was dreading it would be a nightmare but I was able to manage and since Mark is very organized, there wasn’t anything to worry about. I just received the check today and I’m feeling on top of the world. Thank you Mark!

I hate lawyers. I do. And I’m not sure that will ever change. But Mark is different. I can say he is the best lawyer out there. He isn’t a caricature of what lawyers are painted as or usually are. I believe he is an actual human being. He isn’t a snake in a skin suit chasing the dollar signs. He cares and without sounding too sappy he works his ass off for you. My family owes him so much and this is the least I can do. I still hate lawyers but I love Mark. I would be in a much worse place and faced with impossible situation after situation if it weren’t for him. I hope he reads this and knows we owe him and pray for him always!

The Perfect Lawyer

Posted by

I thought after my devastating divorce from my ex husband it would be the last I saw of him. Unfortunately it wasn’t and I had to take legal action after an abusive interaction. During a situation which I can only describe as terrifying, I was connected with Mark Haushalter. He walked me through every step so I could get real justice. I don’t think anyone could have helped me like he did. He worked with me even after I became a mess from all the stress. Just writing this review makes me truly emotional. But through all that I have gone against, I can say I have become a stronger person. Having Mark on my side made me feel so safe. He never was condescending and he was always understanding of my circumstances. I can’t think him enough for being on my side. I hope I never am in a situation where I need the help again but I know I would always go back to him.

Lifesaver!

I want to say it’s a miracle that I am where I am today. After a few unfortunate events I felt like I was between a rock and a hard place. In a situation I never thought I would be in. Luckily, a family member recommended Okabe and Haushalter. What a life changer. When I say I have anxiety about everything it is an understatement, however, Mark was able to put my mind at ease with his knowledge. I swear he has what he does down to a science and I trusted that. I trusted him with my case and I was able to put all the events behind me. I cannot repay him or thank him enough for getting me out of such a tough situation. Thank you Mr. Haushalter! It is needless to say I recommend him wholeheartedly. Put your worries in his hands.

Just What I Needed

Posted by

During a time when I felt like no one was on my side, being supported by a team who believed in my case helped keep me from focusing on all the negatives. Mark gave me the best advice and took care of everything throughout the whole process. With his knowledge and experience, I knew my case was in good hands. If someone I know ever needs legal representation, there’s no doubt I will recommend Mark Haushalter.
