This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Easy to work with, led to a quick resolution

Mr. Leen helped us deal with a residential contractor when damaged was caused on our property. His guidance was clear and specific and his experience helped lead to a quick resolution with the contractor.

Above and beyond

Typically when I see five star reviews I have a healthy dose of skepticism. But this is sincere. Mark was sharp, direct, and fought hard for me. He quickly saw the angles in my case and figured out the advantages we could capitalize on. At the same time, he was candid about the weaknesses in my posit...ion and didn't sugar coat the hard facts. He was resourceful when the dispute involved issues covered by out-of-state law. I would highly recommend him. He certainly exceeded my expectations.

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.
