Excellent Attorney

Mark is by far the best Attorney I have retained! He is both extremely knowledgeable in law yet pragmatic about resolution. Mark will get you out of a bind and not make you feel stupid the mistakes you made you get yourself there.

Experienced and Excellent Defense Lawyer! Very response, accesible and prompt action!

Mark was awesome! He helped me vacate a misdemeanor so that I can get a second chance and move on with my life. He knew the statute well and how to represent my case. He was very quick and thorough in preparation and because of his bullet proof motion and supporting docs, the judge granted the motion.... Mark didn't stop there, he followed up with the court clerks and Washington Patrol to follow up on my case so my record is cleared and the vacated case info doesn't show up in background checks. He proactively followed up with relevant authorities and kept me updated via emails and phone calls along the way. All for a low flat fee! I highly recommend Mark for any of your defence needs.

Compassionate and helpful

We were led to Mark during a legal infraction connected with a mental health crisis for our daughter. We were not from the area and had no experience with the legal system. Mark was extremely compassionate and helpful to us and our daughter throughout this process. His care, concern and expertise led... to a positive outcome for all. I hold him in highest esteem.

Experienced, Professional, Genuine, Friendly

Several years ago, Mark was my public defender for a DUI case and was miraculously able to make a deal with the prosecutor outside of court to reduce the sentence to Reckless Driving with minimal consequences. Years later I needed an attorney and did not hesitate to reach out to Mark, now practicing ...from his private firm. Mark was able to get the case closed completely with no consequences. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the Seattle court system and well connected with government attorneys and judges. He was also very generous with his rates and efficient with the time he spent. He genuinely cared about my well being and I consider him a friend now. Thanks Mark!
