I enjoy interacting with people, and helping them resolve their disputes. My values include:
:
Concern and capacity for each individual in light of their particular circumstances;
Civility and respect to lawyers and non-lawyers;
My reputation is aggressive, understanding and effective advocacy. I believe in working hard to achieve the best settlment possible through negotiation and mediation but when that is not possible to aggressively advocate for my clients in court.

"I worked with Mark on a matter which presented some very unusual facts, together with a number of complicated legal issues.

I highly endorse this lawyer."
"I am a new attorney in the Portland Metro area and have relied on Mr. Kramer for advice and support. In addition to being knowledgeable about the law, he is a decent and compassionate person. I do not hesitate at all in recommending Mr. Kramer to potential clients."
