Highly recommended

Attorney Mark Hostetter is very knowledgeable and experienced in his field. His expertise gave me confidence to trust him. If I had any concern I raised it was immediately addressed. He immediately answers phone calls and emails or makes himself available to meet in person. He makes me feel that ...my case was the only one being handled by him despite having many cases. He is very patient, courteous and attentive and is an excellent communicator. He helped our case and the legal process go very smoothly. I highly recommend him and I am glad I worked with him!

Great attorney!

I retained Mark to handle a civil case. The first thing that struck me when I met with him was how knowledgeable he was. Since that first meeting he has only managed to impress me even more. He is smart, driven, and genuine. Most importantly, anytime that I speak with him about my case, his mind is o...n my case, my details, and my situation; he has never made me feel like his mind was anywhere other than on me and my case. So I would most definitely recommend Mark Hostetter to anyone looking for legal counsel. He shoots straight from the hip and tells it like it is, and he is absolutely tenacious when it comes to protecting his client's interests. For those reasons, I believe that you could not find a better attorney to represent you. After all, that's why I hired him, and I am glad that I did.

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.
