Client

I hired Mark several years ago. My process involved important property and child custody issues. His Staff was very helpful and I was extremely impressed and thankful for having Mark and his staff help put these disputes behind me. I highly recommend Mark and his team. He did not encourage me to o...ver reach. He is very fair!! Mark helped me to be well prepared for court and Mark is more than capable to resolve all issues in a fair and reasonable way. The process was very nerve racking, having never been through any legal process, however Mark was always very reassuring and very supportive. I am so thankful and fortunate to have had Mark and his team in my corner. Thank you very much Mark!!

A great attorney

I came to Mark for a 45 mins consultation, referred by a friend. Mark is empathetic, knowledgable , and professional. He is a great communicator. I felt comfortable with him. In addition, He understood I am working on saving my marriage. He told me what to expect, and how he was going to proceed ...with my case, but he didn't force me to sign any contract during the consultation.

Extremely professional and a caring attorney

After visiting about ~9 lawyers I finally had a chance to meet with Mark. It was a very candid conversation that we had - no stress nor was there any kind of talk that forced me to take action. That was why I accepted him as my lawyer. He kept me grounded through out the process and gave me factual ...data that eventually over time turned out to be right. The conversations were mostly very stress free and I was able to get through the procedure without further escalations/complications. He would always advise on using rationale over making decisions based on emotions - all of which helped me stay focused, avoid clash and solve problems as they emerged. He has a wonderful group of staff that was very accommodative , professional and happy.

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.
