My divorce case

I recently worked with Attorney Mark for my divorce, and I am extremely grateful for their outstanding service. Mark was a true professional who showed expertise and empathy throughout the process.Communication with Mark was excellent. They promptly responded to my calls and emails, keeping me inform...ed and addressing any questions or concerns I had. Thanks to Mark's expertise and compassionate guidance, I achieved a favorable outcome in my divorce and can now move forward with my life. I highly recommend Attorney Mark to anyone seeking a skilled and empathetic divorce attorney. Their dedication and legal expertise are invaluable.

We need more lawyers like Mark in our society. Simply the best

Mark's advise was on the spot, free and prompt. I left a message to him at 10:30 pm and he called me at 7:00 am the next day. He explained to me what the authority was looking for. With his completely free advise during an initial consultation, we not only resolved our case, but we also saved 100's ...of $'s in attorney fees, kept the family together and not have to go through unnecessary engagements from DCPS. Not once, he tried to scare me in hiring his services. Great guy to work with.

These glowing reviews are all true

I found Mark here on Avvo under what seemed to be an awful situation with DCFS. I spoke with him on the phone and met him in person two hours later. His office was no frills like the man himself. Although he said his fee had changed, he honored his promise of a free 60 minute consultation that wa...s originally advertised on Avvo. In 60 minutes, he managed to diagnose my situation like a surgeon, told me what my real priorities should be, and then quickly referred me to his buddy who specializes in criminal defense. I ended up hiring his buddy later that day, while Mark was actually acting against his own financial interest! Fast forward 2 months, and Mark's advice and referral has paid off. I trusted the reviews here, and the reviews are right. I will definitely recommend him if anyone I know is ever unfortunate enough to be involved with DCFS.

He got my good results at court

Mark was part of a team of attorneys at Law Offices of Vincent W. Davis & Associates. This law firm is on it! I was referred to this law firm from another attorney. A few hours after I called, I already had an appointment. I met with Vincent Davis and Bob Granieri. From the minute that I walked ...through the door Bob was already helping me with a difficult situation. I had a case with DCFS. The social workers threatened to remove my daughter. Bob went to court for me. Mark Tseselsky also went to court for me. My lawyers worked hard for me to make sure that my daughter was never removed from me and that I was treated fairly by the social workers and the judge. I would highly recommend this law firm. If you want to contact me to make sure that this review is real, please email me at [removed by Avvo staff].

Not a divorce lawyer of choice

This is not the lawyer you want if you are looking for timely response to your questions and in filing for divorce. I dealt with Mark regarding my divorce that was settled out of court. It took him more than 3 months to prepare and file the paperwork for a simple divorce that did not involve childr...en or real estate. On the day of the signing, he still was unsure of how to fill out the paperwork... Perhaps he is an expert in other aspects of law...certainly not in divorce, in my opinion.

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."
