Highly Recommend Mark Ross.

I hired attorneys from two different law firms to handle a real estate matter stemming from my divorce case and I was very unhappy with their services. Thankfully, a good friend of mine referred me to Mark Ross. When I called Mr. Ross to set an appointment for an urgent matter, he made the extra ef...fort to see me the next day. Mr. Ross is a highly respected, skilled, and very knowledgeable attorney. I would highly recommend him and will use him for any future legal matters. He stayed on top of my case at all times. He handled the case with so much professional integrity. He was honest and transparent about the time he billed me for. My case was resolved much faster than I ever expected, with greater results than I was expecting in the end. Thank you very much Mr. Ross!

MARK ROSS, EXCELLENT AND ETHICAL

Mark is a highly respected and conscientious attorney. He handled out Mediation with professionalism and couldnot have been more professional, more ethical, or more insightful. It was evident that the retired judge (who knew his work) had the utmost respect for his abilities. He was prompt in re...sponding to my e-mails and concerns about the situation with our Education Trust . He was meticulous and well-prepared. He is continuing to provide guidance to our Trust. He is fair and worth his weight in gold. I could not recooment him more highly.

Spend more time reviewing your bills....

Spends more time reviewing your bills and billing you for that time than working the case. Very good at collecting bills. The one's he sends you.........harrased me, and my wife in order to collect his bill. Granted he was owed the money. We hit some financial problems, Closed a business , lo...st jobe etc....that did not stop him.....garnished wages even after offering a payment plan.....even AFTER he was paid in full....did not file paperwork in a timiely manner to stop harrassing garnishment letters from the sherrif............payback for letting everyone know of his tactics..........he has been paid......and still has not provided proof of payment letter so garnishments can stop........BE WARY OF YOUR FRIENDS.....

This is the same person as "Jason" below. After more than a year and having breached his agreement to make monthly payments, I finally received payment in full by way of a regular check. Thank you. After waiting a few reasonable days to make sure the check cleared all paperwork was sent to acknowledge payment and stop collection efforts.

Beware of your Friends

Mr. Ross, knows the law but is more interested in running up your bills and turning on you. My legal case with Mr. Ross was not resolved due to my financial problems. Which of coarse got worse when Mr. Ross decided to turn his vast knowledge of collection activity against me. I did not contest the... money he was owed but needed more time to pay....which of coarse he did not grant.....he filed a judgment, which I did not challenge in the hopes he would understand I acknowledged the debt but had not way of paying it......well that was not enough he next filed a motion against my spouse's salary. WOW!!!!! for a LOW, LOW four figure amount owed???? I had lost my house, my business and was in a VERY TOUGH time when the economy hit the skids........I did not have anyone to bail me out. So I am paying the debt off on a monthly basis, as best as I can......I am not out of the woods, but things are better........ If you have a LARGE trust fund, or bank account this is the attorney for you....because there is no room or time for you if you are in a tough time......

"Jason" hired this firm to set aside a substantial default judgment that was taken against him for allegedly delivering unmerchantable products. We were successful in setting aside the judgment and began work to defend against the plaintiff's allegations. During this time, "Jason" asked for other legal advice and asked us to file a lawsuit against one of his customers to collect payment of which his customer was withholding because he was not happy with the products that "Jason" delivered. All this time "Jason" was asking for additional services, he promised to bring his bill current but never did. We also encouraged "Jason" to make a settlement proposal to the plaintiff in order to put an end to the case and minimize legal expenses but he never did. "Jason" was given many opportunities to make payment plans but never made any payments and he never complained or questioned the quality of work he recieved. After many attempts by this firm to work this out with "Jason", he stopped responding to telephone calls, emails and letters. "Jason" was properly served with the lawsuit we filed to collect fees and he failed to appear to defend himself. When "Jason" called me last month for the first time in over a year. He asked for a payment plan which was gladly granted to accomodate his needs. "Jason" made the first payment but never signed the payment plan agreement and defaulted on his second payment. This firm understands the financial toll that legal representation can take. Clients often fall behind and so long as they communicate and make payment arrangements, legal services are continued without interruption or problems. This client however, chose to make false promises and then cut off all communications.
