Posted by Tracey | February 24, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Highly recommended

I originally called Mark for his advice on a ticket I received in Denver. He took about 45 minutes to help me determine how to proceed and how the court process works. After my first court hearing I had some issues and possibly needed to hire Mark. He spoke to me for about 1 1/2 hours on the phone..., free of charge. Was extremely honest, insightful, and knowledgeable. Told me that based on my case it would not be cost efficient to hire him but he still continued to educate me. I ended up resolving an 8 point ticket down to 2 and also got the fine reduced. This was 100% based on Mark’s guidance in which he didn’t get a dime for. I even offered to send him some money and he said no. This is not normal for a lawyer to take time out of his day just to help me get out of my situation. If this is the kind of service he provides to someone not paying him, I can only imagine the amount of effort he would put into a case he was hired to work on. Hopefully I never need his advice again but if I need a lawyer, I’ll be hiring Mark! Thank you!

Professional and there when you need him.

I contacted Mark after seeing his reviews and can gladly say he's lived up to every single one of them. I reached out to him for a quick consultation call about my situation and we has more than willing to hear me out and help me understand my situation and ease my mind on the topic. He explaine...d everything to me in an understandable manner and I was able to leave the conversation with 100% less stress/anxiety about it all after talking to him. Should I ever need to hire someone for help, Mark would definitely be my go to.

Initial consult with Mark Blechman

I met with Mark concerning post conviction relief. Although I did not retain his services I did receive some information for my case. I am now pursuing this information. Mark was gratuitous with his time and expertise. I was given about 6 different avenues to look at in order to reverse the conse...quences I am dealing with. The information I received covered the full spectrum of the legal process from the solid sensible solutions to the possible "try this and see what happens". I received all these helpful solutions at no charge. I appreciate Mark's time and candid demeanor. We spent about 2 hours. I would recommend Mark to any one!!! I was amazed that at no time Mark brought the subject of fees to the table.

He's smart, capable and has excellent trial skills. I can honestly say I would trust Mark with my life if I found myself in a situation where I was being prosecuted.
