I worked as a law clerk for Mark in 2006 and 2007. At the time, Mark was engaged in one of the largest Capital Murder cases in California. Mark's experience and expertise in criminal defense is unsurpassable. Moreover, he was a great mentor as I was learning the trade. I highly recommend Mark to anyone needing an attorney who knows his way around courtrooms in San Bernardino, Riverside, LA, and Orange counties. He definitely gets my endorsement.
