Outstanding Expert!

From my initial outreach to Mark Johannessen via email, to the initial request for a phone call, Mark is hands down an expert in his field. His poise, his knowledge, and extraordinary level of performance, are above and beyond expectations in all areas, lending to not only his stellar professionalis...m, but his genuine care for the cases he takes on. Mark is 1000% thorough, engaging, forward-thinking, and truly evaluates each and every scenario that could arise, and takes the time to not only explain his thought process, but ensure you as the client understand the meaning and actions inside and out. In what was a life-changing experience for me, and my immediate family, as I was experiencing a terrible traumatizing divorce, Mark led me though a long-standing in depth process with true empathy - providing a clear explanation of how he could support me, and what each step along the way would entail, in order to do the best we could to achieve both my end goal of safety, and a secured future. I am a person of much detail, and always have questions. Each question I asked was welcomed with grace, patience, promptness, clarity and empathetic care. My process of dissolution was intricate, and required much thought, education to me as the client from Mark, and both his dedicated time, shared knowledge, and commitment to a case that spanned over a long period of time, due to the other party involved. Mark in my eyes and my family’s is a God-send, a true pioneer who leads at the forefront in his field. He is approachable, dedicated to the client’s well-being, and truly showed genuine support and care, while being both approachable and patient. I would highly recommend Mark Johannessen for any family law needs. He is a life-saver in my family, and am forever grateful to him for the remarkable success we achieved! STELLAR all around!

  • 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.
