Mark D Bogard

Mark Bogard has provided guidance as well as represented us on a few cases, giving our company a broader customer base while minimizing risk. His extensive knowledge and attention to detail stand out and he is very responsive to our needs in this fast paced construction market. It is a pleasure to wo...rk with Mark and we would highly recommend him.

Mark has had the experience of specializing in the area of construction law during the most challenging times in our industry. The recession that hit our industry brought out unique circumstances and turmoil at the highest rate that I have seen in my career. We have been using Mark and his firm for a...pproximately 10 years and his experience in construction law as well as finance and credit have been a big asset to our team. If you are looking for someone that is responsive, listens well, provides honest feedback and is very fair then I would highly recommend him.

Mark provided guidance and excellent legal advice on several occasions when faced with customers who did not want to pay for services rendered. In addition to that, I have attended his seminars on Payment Remedies, which greatly reduced situations where we had no recourse. Our collections percentage ...increased dramatically. When our company merged, he recommended another attorney in his firm, who also provided excellent service. Mark definitely improves the image of lawyers!

I hired him to collect money owed to me from an Arizona-based LLC and an individual. The entire time he was more busy trying to collect money from me than collecting money from the defendants for me. I felt he purposely ran up time to get another set of retainer. When I told him that I will review... the ledger (as I always do for any attorneys), he became very upset and defensive. Before I knew it, he filed a motion to withdraw as a counsel, and left the case completely open. This was a case where I was trying to collect money from a client, I was a CONTRACTOR. However he kept wasting his time (or my money) trying to figure out whether there was a wage issue. I don't know how I could be more clear that I was not an employee, I was a contractor. I have come across some attorneys that only care about the money they make, no matter what the outcome may be, but I felt this attorney was the worst of all.
