Legal advice/contract assistance

If you are looking for a patient, highly competent and knowledgeable attorney, proficient in a wide area of legal matters, you have found your man! Mr Givens has provided first class legal work for both my corporations and personal legal matters including, but not exclusive to; the formation of corpo...rate entity's, structuring and executing legal contracts, researching and providing advice for trademark infringements and various and general legal real estate matters, both commercial and residential. A first class individual of the highest integrity who I am proud to say is both an executor and trustee to my estate and family trust, need I say more?

Highly recommend

I hired Mark to help me with negotiating a contract. Mark handled all matters professionally, within budget and responded quickly to all my questions. He gave me advice which got me the best possible outcome that I was hoping for.

Loan Fee Agreement Review

We hired Mark to review our broker fee agreement on a commercial loan we funded recently. He provided excellent insight on liability issues we weren't aware of and made the necessary changes. He was prompt and very easy to work with.

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.
