Mark R Barzda

This man is brilliant. Knowledgeable, experienced, truthful while being way mote empathetic than I could imagine. Mark is so talented even against powerful ex’s (mine is a high-earning with a highly respected profession in society) . Yes, Menashe Gurtz charges more than some other divorce attorn...eys but I speak from much experience as I worked with a handful or attorney’s over the past few years and each left me disappointed EXCEPT a mark. So please don’t be fooled by lower hourly rates of other divorce attorneys! When you have a powerhouse like Mark (and team) who speak with other high profile lawyers, sharing and learning from e/o in collaborative team meetings, you will save so much money by minimizing guesswork or having a shrinking violet representation that doesn’t know how to communicate with opposite counsel. With Mark’s help, with about half a year until trial in a very complicated divorce matter, I was awarded with so much more parenting time and spousal support than I ever dreamed of. Don’t hesitate—call him, if he’s taking on new clients, you will be lucky. He understands issues like powerful ex’s, mental health battles, court norms, differences in judges. He had to dispose my ex, a doctor, and never once was aggressive—it unlikable like most attorneys can be during cross-examination or depositions. Mark was so strategic and amiable as he asked questions that my ex babbled like a baby, aka told on himself, which gave us way more negotiating ground ammo and led to a conquer and a pleasing plan, moving forward.
