Highly recommended!

Mark represented me in a recent lawsuit. He was super professional, knowledgeable and great to work with. His dedication and creativity helped us decently throughout the case. I would highly recommend Mark as an attorney to anyone seeking legal help!

Great startup lawyer

Mark Hostetter has advised my company on various commercial and employment legal matters. I know he does lots of trials in court, but we mainly wanted to avoid court problems. His work was thorough and his fees were very reasonable. We gained much improved contracts and other legal documents. I w...ould highly recommend Mark for compliance peace of mind and litigation avoidance for businesses.

"I am a landlord-tenant attorney who sought Mr. Hostetter advice on a complex case involving possible breach of implied warranties and misrepresentation. Mr. Hostetter has an encyclopedic knowledge of tenant's claims, including deep familiarity with Civil Code sections weighing on landlord-tenant and other property disputes.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
