Mark is extremely well connected. He was highly recommended to me and he exceeded my expectations. I'm ugly and bipolar, and he did a stellar job defending me.
It is unfortunate that people don't know how to work with attorney. They have a heavy case load and can't remember the details on the fly. They HAVE to refer to their files before giving an answer. Every case has it's own quirks. And people micromanage because they are infinitely more vested in the outcome (unless it's a contingent fee!--then BUYER BEWARE. you receive a 1/3 and get taxed on 100%).
Mark even told me that. How honest is that? BTW, the outcome was better than I expected. Thank you Mark. You really helped me out of a legal nightmare.
Mark was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Oregon. He graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Political Science and a minor in History. He attended law school at Willamette University College of Law. Mark practiced law in Oregon and Illinois. He is married to Carolyn and they have two children.
