Four time winner

Mark has handled all four of my adoptions over the last several years - most recently in december 2013. From my perspective, I would say he genuinely simplifies the process. His fees are very reasonable. He has a terrific support staff. If you have questions or need follow up on something, I don'...t think I have ever had to wait more than an hour for a response. I can't think of a single way Mark could improve his practice. I have worked with several attorneys in several different practice areas over the years - Mark is the top of the heap.

He is an angel on earth

Mr. Demaray helped us through an adoption. The birth Mom was very young and we were exhausted after 15 years of infertility and failed adoptions. I was so frightened and excited at the possibility. He made us aware of a tax credit that actually covered all his fees. He stayed in constant contact ...through the waiting period. His office continues to be involved today facilitating our annual communication between our family and the birth mother. He gives attorneys a good name.

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.
