Mark Steven Gouras

Mark is my second lawyer and I am very grad that I had him as my final lawyer during my divorce/custody process. It is a high conflict divorce with the false domestic violence against me. Mark always put my best interest in his mind and treated me with respect. He spent time to understand my position... and the opposing party's intention to develop a strategy handling my case carefully. Mark is very helpful in the mediation and saved me a lot of money by avoiding the trail. He helped me get the best outcome from the custody of my son. I cannot say more good words about him. He is the best!

Mark Gouras was my attorney in a divorce a few years ago. I've come to realize I agreed to things in child support and gave up property that I probably wouldn't have if I had better information. I just had my child support adjusted to what it probably should have been. I gave up early because I'd p...aid a lot of money already for legal work and just wanted it over. He's knowledgeable but I would have preferred someone more assertive and concerned with my case.

I approached Mark for legal counsel when I was threatened and forcefully evicted from my home. Mark became my ally right from that moment and guided me through the entire legal process until final orders were signed. Mark stood up for me when there were threats on my immigration status and masterfu...lly refuted all the false allegations. Mark is very ethical when it comes to his time, fees and most importantly, the truth. Family court in some ways, is a liar's paradise and it can be very tempting to cave in to the lie fest. In my case however, Mark upheld integrity in his work, the firm, me and also in interactions with the opposing party. When you work with Mark, you not only get an experienced attorney, you also get an experienced judge because Mark often serves as a temp commissioner. That is a great asset because it also emotionally prepares you for the hearings and outcomes. He is aggressive when necessary and even keel otherwise. You won't get flamboyance if that's what you are looking for. Ton of experience and solid character is all that one needs in an advocate, for one of the hardest periods in life. Thanks to Mark, I have 50-50 custody of my daughters and can focus on just being the best dad for them.

There is no single word in English to describe Mr. Mark Gouras and his legal proficiencies. Mr. Gouras expertise, knowledge, attitude, and performance is what you need in the courtroom when dealing with an aberrant opposing person and odd circumstances. Mark constructed an amazing parenting plan ...with limitations which serves our children's best interest and welfare. There is one word: Arete. Whereas, Mark is a person / Lawyer of the highest effectiveness. When challenges arose with the opposing party, Mark always had a beneficial solution which served the best interest of our children. When I was discouraged and somewhat flatlined Mark was always a strong listener and gave me wisdom. When circumstances changed, sometimes within hours, Mark was flexible and always available. I refer to Mr. Mark Gouras as my "OveGlove", my "Forever Lawyer”. I would give Mr. Gouras 100 marks out of 100 but no one would believe me so I'll make it 99 out of 100. Thanks for everything Mark!
