Mark Frederick Hoffman's Lawyer Endorsements
"I had the great pleasure of working with Mark for more than a dozen years until I retired. In Mark's case, Avvo got it right--10.0. He is one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with and I would recommend him to any client any day. His clients and co-workers have the greatest respect for Mark, as they should. At DLA Piper, he was chosen to lead the Corporate Governance Group consisting of hundreds of corporate attorneys working with public companies. At the same time, he superbly advises clients in general corporate, M&A, and venture capital matters. Mark is a very gifted attorney and special person."
