Experienced Professional

I would like to highly recommend Mark Marion for your legal needs. I had an issue arise and I needed some sound legal advice. Mr. Marion provided it without being judgmental and looked at the best way to quickly make my problem go away with the smallest impact on my future.

The man with the answers

Mark Marion was the right attorney for my case. His demeanor and preparation routinely exceeded that of the other members of the court. Within 5 minutes I was sure that I had made the right decision. Some cases are more difficult than others, and a favorable outcome in my case was marginal at best. M...ark was enthusiastic and reassuring, often letting me vent and providing a new frame of though to consider the position of opposing counsel. When all was said and done he had met me in person on multiple occasions while incarcerated, endured countless phone calls, and settled my case in 6 weeks. His counsel was crucial in getting me home to my family as quickly as possible, and reducing an asinine 3 year prison sentence to merely probation. I would recommend his services for the most delicate of circumstances.

The worest

This is the worst attorney ever. He did NOTHING FOR me but take my money. Beware they lie just to get your money. They have HORRIBLE communication with their clients. If I were you I would keep searching. I fought my case for 6 months and lost. Mr. Marion then left and I had to represent myself. He d...idn't even know answer to any questions I had. And allowed the court to give me the worst sentence ever. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! You would seriously be better off representing yourself then to hire Mr. Marion.

Cristina, Thank you for taking the time to craft this review. I strive to provide excellent service and results to each and every one of the clients I have the pleasure of serving. Reviews are extremely important as many people depend on them in making an informed decision as to who will represent them or their loved ones. If you have a genuine concern regarding your case, I would love to speak with you personally as I am always looking for ways to improve in order to continue to achieve excellence. On the other hand, if this is not a genuine review, I ask you to kindly remove it. The effect of false reviews is far-reaching. Since I have been an attorney it is has been my sole goal to provide the best service and results to my clients. I welcome your personal contact so that I may continue to improve. Thank you.

TRO Defense! Excellent!

I was wrongfully accused, served with a TRO and Mark was the best. Never dealt with anything like this in my life. Mark made me feel encouraged and comfortable. His confidence made me confident. He answered all my questions, emails and phone calls. We were prepared with our Response and witnesses, ...never even had to testify. Judge dismissed it. I could never have done this alone! This could have effected my job, etc...WORTH EVERY PENNY! I hope to never see this law firm again, no offense, but if I ever need an attorney again...THIS IS THE FIRM I WILL USE, hands down.

He cares about what he does and that shows in the work he performs day in and day out.
