Mark L Tseselsky

I can’t express how much I appreciate Mark. My life has been in total chaos lately. I have been in constant ridicule, judgment and have been treated unfairly in the eyes of the court. It was Mark who has wipe my tears and gave me my strength when I needed it most. Mark is the Epitome of hard work, Di...ligence, professionalism and strength. Mark was my voice when I felt I did not have a voice or couldn’t have a voice. Mark stood up for my character, my kids, my career and my life. I have never met anyone who was willing to fight for me when all odds even when those odds were incorrect and false as hard as Mark did. I expressed to Mark what I had to lose in my case and how passionate I am about my career and my children and I’m so honored to have met a man who gave everything in him to fight for my cause. Because of Mark I got the best outcome out of my case. Mark thank you for all of your hard work, thank you for giving me my voice back, thank you for believing in me when I did not believe in myself, thank you for being the BEAST you were in court and thank you for the impact you had on my life. I don’t think I could ever repay you or pay you enough for what you have done. It was definitely a pleasure to have done business with you!

I hate lawyers but this one is different

My only experience with lawyers has been dealing with a bitter custody battle over my son, So needless to say I hate all lawyers. I still hate all lawyers, but of all the lawyers I have dealt with this matter in multiple post judgement modifications, I hate Mark Tseselsky the least. I hired him to... help me with transferring foreign judgment to California and two post-judgment modifications of custody and visitation orders. He is very conservative about his billing and tries very hard to get the best result. ..... So if you have to use a lawyer use Mark. Did I mention I hate lawyers. :-) If you have any questions you can call me 818-321-6181

Trustworthy, caring and intelligent

We are forever grateful to Mark for his awesome work on our Exemption Denial appeal with the Department of Social Services. His research in the early stages of the case was fantastic as he found a case similar to ours and used it against the prosecution. He handled my wife with care and feeling as th...is was an emotional incident to have to rehash over and over again, but his patience and expertise made it possible for us to win our case with confidence. I would have liked him to answer my emails a little quicker and to be on time for phone appointments a bit more, but I am anal about things like that :) Don't let distance stop you from hiring Mark. We live over 2 hours away from Arcadia, but everything was handled as if we lived in the same town. The one time we did a one on one meeting, Mark prepared us better than any lawyer I have seen, and thru my business I deal with lawyers all the time. You can email me at [email protected] if you have any questions or concerns about this firm. They were reasonable with the hours billed, though it is a high dollar amount per hour, they don't over bill you extra hours. It was worth every dime to win the case!

Honestos Abogados Si Cumplen Su Palabra!

I met Mark when I hired the firm of Vincent Davis to help me fight the social workers. They promised me that I will have my kid back in less than 2 months and they kept their promises. Mark Tseselsky worked on my case to win. He wrote the right paperwork to show the judge that social workers' supp...orting documents had no real evidence. Mark Tseselsky argued at my trial that DCFS failed to prove their case. The judge agreed and now my girlfriend and I have our child back. DCFS was very abusive towards me and especially my girlfriend. The social workers threatened amd terrorized us repeatedly. The social workers wanted to force us to take the deal and not fight. They lied and promised us that we would get our child back if we do what they want. Thank God Mark convinced me to stay strong and not sign anything, not agree to any deals. I knew that they had no case and Vincent Davis, Bob Granieri and Mark helped me prove it to the judge. My name is Miguel Villanueva and you can email me at [email protected] to verify that I am a real person and this review is truthful.

Outstanding, caring professional

Juvenile Dependency cases are incredibly stressful. Having children ripped away from a loving home is gut-wrenching. At that time you need an attorney and a firm who listens, understands the heartache, and gives you the best legal advice. That is exactly what we received from Mark Tseselsky of the La...w Offices of Vincent W. Davis and Associates. We knew the evidence was on our side, however, discussions with other attorneys we talked to just gave us feelings of doom and gloom and left us depressed and discouraged. In our first meeting with Mark we immediately knew we were working with an outstanding, caring professional. Mark is a great listener as well as a brilliant tactician in court. After listening to and reading the evidence, he let us know his strategy and expected outcome. When the judge rendered her decision, it was almost as if Mark had written the decision. It was exactly what he had fought for, strategized for, and we were ecstatic. Should you ever find yourself in need for someone who will fight for you, Mark is the attorney to go to. We are eternally grateful for his outstanding help. If it helps you in making your decision on which attorney to represent you, feel free to contact me. My name is Roger Auchard and you can reach me at [email protected].

Real estate lawyer | Nov 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Mark as co-counsel on a very difficult and complex real estate litigation. We spent over 2 years defending the case for the brokerage firm and its agents. Mark was instrumental in filing a Motion to Disqualify Plaintiff's counsel which caused Plaintiff's to hire another less experienced attorney. He then successfully changed the venue from LA County to Riverside County. He showed tenacity and respect before the judge, winning every single motion against Plaintiff's new counsel. Eventually, his strategy and aggressive posture forced Plaintiff to compromise in a court ordered mediation. I look forward to working with Mark again on future cases. You can be assured that he's got your back."
