Review Mark Risner

Incredible Attorney!

Posted by

I was searching for an employment attorney for my company and was referred to Mark from a fellow Human Resources professional. Mr. Risner is an incredibly patient, conscientious, and thorough lawyer. He helped me navigate employment agreements for our entire staff in California. His expertly crafted responses led to a smooth process of drafting new contracts for our team. I could not have done it without him. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone who is in need of an employment attorney!

Excellent attorney

I had a tricky real estate dispute with a seller who had left the state. Mark Risner offered me outstanding legal advice and ultimately resolved the matter. I imagine most other lawyers might have suggested I take the loss and move on, but he stuck with it, and I was paid by the seller for what I was owed. Mark was surprisingly quick at responding to emails, was always available by phone, and kept me updated throughout the process. I highly recommend him.

Highly Recommended

I had an attorney who scammed me for over $17000. I am now very careful with whom I choose for legal advice. Mr. Risner was recommended to me by Legalzoom. My first impression of Mr. Riser was that he was a very genuine, professional and knowledgeable individual. He answered the telephone immediately, I did not have to wait for a return call and he began asking my current situation prior to jumping into any conclusion. He asked about specific questions prior to getting into details and recommended me to a bankruptcy lawyer whom he thinks best fit my situation. I highly recommend him and will use him for my future business lawyer after I resolve my debt situation.

Sometimes a single Avvo answer reflects the best qualities, and Mr. Risner has just posted such an answer. Not only accurate and analytic, it was customized to the needs of the Avvo asker. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring an attorney.

I've known Mark for over 20 years. He is a careful but aggressive litigator, comfortable trying cases, and experienced in a wide variety of civil areas. I endorse this lawyer's work.
