Very professional

Very professional. Went out of his way to have a 45 minute discussion regarding my potential legal issues. Mr. Blechman is an educated man and also a good person.

Excellent Representation

Mark was immediately reassuring and honest in my case- a serious driving infraction. He was thorough and simultaneously very friendly and easy to talk to. He delivered reduced charges and a very manageable fine. I felt like I was in very dependable hands!

Highly recommend Mark

Mark was amazing and guided me through my legal troubles, he genuinely cares. Was able to keep my license from a case a few years old. He helped me save money and time. I would use him again if the need ever arose. I can't thank him enough. Highly recommend to call Mark for your legal needs.

Excellent

Mark was very professional and did everything he could for me. Even though his specialty is dui and dwi he still agreed to help me in my traffic violation case. The outcome of the case didn't go exactly the way I hoped for, but turned out a lot better than it could have. He was very honest and upfron...t with me and didn't try to have me a go to a trial that I would probably loose just so he could make an extra buck I'm very very grateful for his honesty in all aspects of the case and went above and beyond the call of duty to help me out the best he could.

Insightful; caring; experienced; patient

I have to post this anonymously as my situation and information may be too identifying. I am an employee for the federal government. I called Mark several weeks ago as I had learned that I would be facing felony domestic violence charges. I called Mark with MANY questions. He spent over an hour o...n the phone with me patiently answering all of my questions. The conversation was extremely insightful due to his extensive experience and knowledge in criminal defense, as well as due to the patience he showed in answering all of my questions in great detail at length. I had consulted with at least 20 other top rated criminal defense attorneys in the state of Colorado. While their experience levels were largely similar, Mark, by far, stood out as being the most personable and caring, traits that I was not able to identify in many other attorneys. On top of this, his patience is unparalleled as evidenced by the amount of time he took out of his busy day to speak to me on the phone (I think I interrupted his lunch hour with my long phone call). Experience is certainly a requisite, but many attorneys have experience. These other traits, among others, sets Mark above the rest. In addition, many other attorneys that I spoke with started and focused the conversation on the subject of money before I was even given the chance to assess my situation and their qualifications. In my conversation with Mark, money was the last subject brought up at the end of an 1 hour+ phone call and was brought up by me. I give this anecdote because he is obviously not just the stereotypical lawyer who is only after your money. I would strongly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a defense attorney. These are exactly the requisite characteristics any defendant needs when facing prosecution.
