Exceptional Legal Services by Mark - A Lawyer Par Excellence

I am writing this review to express my profound appreciation for Mark, an extraordinary lawyer who has consistently gone above and beyond in providing exceptional legal services. My experience with Mark has been nothing short of remarkable, and I feel compelled to share it with others who may be in n...eed of legal assistance. My initial encounter with Mark was when he was tasked with creating a trust and will for my beloved grandmother. From our first meeting, Mark's depth of knowledge and expertise in the field was evident. He demonstrated a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of estate planning, and his ability to explain complex legal concepts in a manner that was easy to understand was truly impressive. Mark's dedication to his clients is unparalleled. He went the extra mile to ensure that every detail was meticulously addressed, providing us with a sense of security and peace of mind. His commitment to his work is not just about fulfilling his professional obligations; it's about providing a service that is deeply personal and considerate. Following this positive experience, I had the opportunity to engage Mark's services for another legal matter. This time, I witnessed his prowess as a litigator. Mark's command over probate law is exceptional. He is a fierce advocate, unyielding in his pursuit of justice for his clients. His strategic approach, combined with his tenacity, makes him a formidable force in the courtroom. What sets Mark apart is not just his legal acumen, but also his empathetic approach. He understands that legal issues can be stressful and emotionally draining. His compassionate demeanor and reassuring presence made the entire process significantly less daunting. In conclusion, Mark is an incredible lawyer who embodies the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. His expertise, dedication, and compassion make him an invaluable asset to anyone in need of legal assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone seeking a lawyer who will not only provide top-notch legal representation, but also genuinely care about their well-being. Thank you, Mark, for your exceptional service. Your dedication to your clients is truly inspiring.

Lacks business manners and is indifferent to client. Does not return calls.

Mr.Abell represented me at a hearing for Social Security Disability Benefits. Prior to the hearing I was "permitted" one, and ONLY one 15 minute conversation with Mr.Abell. He flat out told me that he would not be available for future conversations until the day of the hearing. I did have a co...uple of important things to ask after our solo conversation, but was told by his office that Mr.Abell was "a little tied up". I did leave my call back number but he did not return my calls. Mr.Abell told me to arrive 30 minutes prior to the hearing; which I did. He did not arrive until 8 minutes prior to the hearing and when he did, he brought me into a room with a table and chairs. He then gave me two forms to sign and another longer form to complete to list out all of my medications. As I completed the forms, Mr.Abell sat across from me and occupied himself clicking away on his personal computer and mobile device the entire time. Then a woman came into the room and we were very hastily ushered out of the small room and into a hearing room. Given Mr.Abell's preoccupation with his computer and phone, I never had a chance to talk with Mr.Abell. I was bewildered at Mr.Abell’s indifference to my presence. Once we were sworn in, things got off to a negative start. The Judge asked Mr.Abell for some kind of record and/or document. I don’t know what, specifically, The Judge was requesting. Mr.Abell stated it had been delivered that (same) morning. The Judge informed him that this was “unacceptable” and it would not be admitted into evidence (or something like that). The Judge was really displeased. Following the conclusion of the hearing, I had anticipated having a conversation with Mr.Abell, but he did not afford more than a polite “good-bye” on is a hallway and he turned and promptly left the building via an exterior door. I was dizzied, stunned and dumbfounded, to say the least. I felt trivialized and very confused. I believe that ‘people skills’ are required in a situation like mine and that Mr.Abell was thoroughly indifferent to me or of my concerns.

Very Professional and Sincere

Mark did a complete estate plan for us, he was very business like and professional. The trust documents and the binder that he gave us looked great. He sat down with us and explained everything that we had questions about so that we could easily understand it. We would engage his services again and a...re going to refer him to some of our friends.

Trustworthy, Knowledgable, & Confident

Mark is a great guy to work with. He always has a positive attitude and has attention to detail second to none. He is results driven and very organized. He is professional and passionate about his work, but above all, he truly cares about the people he represents and is unwaveringly honest. I high...ly recommend Mark.

Estate Planning

Mark walked me through getting my estate in order. I knew that I needed to prepare a Trust and Will as well as other documents. I had put it off for nearly 3 years from when I first learned of how it would protect my hard earned assets and reduce the amount of legal hurdles and high costs associate...d with probate court in the event of my passing. Mark was extremely thorough and tailored the documents to my specific needs. This is something that I no longer have to get around to. It's done and now I have a bit more peace of mind. What's also nice is that Mark is easy to get it touch with and will be there if I ever need to make modifications to these documents as my needs change. Mark, thank you for being an individual with upstanding character and solid expertise.
