Great Attorney that helped me WIN my case!

Mark Marion provided an above and beyond free consultation on my case by obtaining court documents pertaining to my case as part of his initial, free consultation. Mark took specific interest in my case analyzing all the facts, crafting a defense based in the penal code, and communicating with me wee...kly about my case during this stressful time in my life. On the hearing date I felt confident in our defense and the judge denied a permanent WVRO restraining order filed by Pacific Polo Water Polo Club. If you need a good attorney call Mark!

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 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.

THE BEST ATTORNEY EVERY

This is the best law firm ever, I highly recommend them. A family member of mine was facing a case that was not fair. Mr. Bajaj and Mark are the best, they put my family at ease, did not let the Prosecutor get away with this case which was not justified. I am so glad to have hired this Law Firm, trus...t me, if you ever get into trouble, this is the firm that you want to represent you. Also, if you want to contact me directly, feel free to do so. They were honest and were worth every dime we spent!

Fantastic Attorney

Mark Marion was a great attorney to work with. I was in trouble last year and I hired this office and they got the job done, quickly. Mark was constantly in communication with me and answered every call and question that I had. If I am ever in trouble again I would absolutely call Mark again!
