The Perfect Lawyer

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 ever...y 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.

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.
