My divorce last year was unexpected and took a toll on me both physically and emotionally. I felt lost and unsure as to how to proceed so I was much relieved when I found an attorney that took the time to explain the process in a frank and caring way. During my initial consultation with Mark Weiss he... gave my invaluable advice including asking me to work as much out with my spouse before in went to the lawyers. He also impressed upon me the fact to be as calm, kind and as civil as I possibly could be. I took his advice to heart and although far from painless it could have been so much worse. Mark’s response time to my questions was superb, usually same day. Mark Weiss made one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do bearable and kept me sane. You would be hard pressed to find a better lawyer.

There’s no such thing as a good divorce. There is such a person as a good divorce lawyer. That person is Mark Weiss. The dissolution of my marriage of many years came as a traumatic shock. I interviewed several attorneys, “traditional” as well as collaborative. Mark was the first one with whom I s...poke. He immediately put me at ease and didn’t rush my questions. I left that initial meeting with a lot of information that helped me in subsequent interviews. Throughout the difficult year it took us to work through this process, I was fortunate to rely on Mark’s professional expertise, compassionate support, and wise counsel each step of the way. He immediately answered my phone calls and emails; he always made sure I understood every procedure and document; he explained every option presented to me. He worked well with the other attorney, the divorce coach, and the CPA, all of whom expertly and methodically helped me through what was a daunting and difficult experience. Together, the team’s efforts resulted in what I believe was a reasonable and fair settlement. I gratefully and vigorously recommend Mark Weiss if you are seeking honest, experienced, and highly capable legal representation.

We hired Mark as part of a four person collaborative team. Much time was spend discussing "goals and values." Very little time was spent on the actual steps that were needed for physical and financial separation. Poor guidance, time wasted, churning bills, unnecessary emotional and financial stress. ...As a result of this poor guidance, two years later, we are still not finished. I too have heard from other professionals that they have worked with Mark in the past and never will again. Not collaborative.

Mark came to me highly recommended and I would pass on the same recommendation to others. Divorce is a wild ride on an emotional and financial rollercoaster and there are no safer hands for the throttle than Mark's. Mark is the voice of reason when you're in the front car and all you want to do is sc...ream. He's the voice of reason when you're stuck at the top of the ride and just despair over a good outcome. He is highly supportive when you're not sure this ride will ever be over and you will feel good again. If you chose to work toward a collaborative settlement Mark is who you want. One of his standout qualities is that he is true to the collaborative process, always guiding toward a settlement that both sides can accept. Mark is patient and his financial knowledge and problem solving skills are outstanding. . Mark was a rock during this process and I am grateful to him for bolstering my self confidence and helping to create a settlement that I wanted and had a hand in designing.
