Impressed!!!

Finding a good lawyer was not as easy as I thought! After a long unexpected search, and a run in with a lawyer that was definitely not a fit for me, I finally came across Mr. Mark Blechman! He was a breath of fresh air! I was so releived and had such a peace after speaking with him. Even thou...gh I knew he couldn't guarantee my outcome, he assured me that he would work hard to get the best outcome possible, and he delivered! On top of that, he also got the judge to lower my fines! I was so greatful! Mr. Blechman is not only a good lawyer, he will also speak to you with respect regardless of your circumstances. Thank you so much Mr. Blechman!

Exceptional Attorney

I was involved in an unfortunate misunderstanding that resulted in my need retain Mark Blechman's services for a traffic-related incident. From our initial contact, he was professional, empathetic, supportive, and encouraging of a good outcome in my case. Throughout the process, he was communicative ...and always willing to talk about my concerns. In the end, not only were we able to resolve the situation, but the end result ended up being much better than I could have imagined: a couple of points and a very, very minimal fine. Granted, my record was darn near spotless, but I don't think I could have navigated the court system with confidence, nor would I have had such a good outcome, without Mark by my side. If anyone is in a situation where they need a criminal law attorney, I recommend Mark Blechman without hesitation for his expertise, affordability, honesty, and kindness.

Excellent Lawyer, and even better human being!

Beyond his obvious expertise as a legal practitioner, Mark is a great person with unwavering integrity. His approach to cases is calculated and methodical, giving the client as much information and clarity as possible. He truly believes in shared decision making, that is, instead of dictating the cou...rse of action, Mark strives to be a true chaperone for his clients. He lays down and counsels on each option, leaving the client with ample information to drive the course of the case. I certainly felt inspired and spoiled to be honest. Throughout the difficult and often nerve-wracking ordeal (especially since I am on visa), Mark was reassuring and aware of the outcome, which ultimately calmed my nerves and cheered me to the end. I high recommend Mark, and I speak highly of his work especially in traffic cases.

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!
