Excellent representation through a difficult divorce.

Mark was well-reasoned and professional in representing me during my hard-fought divorce. He clearly strove for excellence in his preparation, and maintained a calm confident demeanor whether in conference or court. His involvement resulted in equitable closure to a previously illogical and drawn-...out legal process.

Estate Planning

Mark helped me create a revocable living trust for my immediate family and that of my parents. I found him to be very responsive and knowledgeable in guiding me through the legal process of estate planning. I would highly recommend him for estate planning purposes.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
