Great attorney!

Mark is great attorney. Through out the entire process he kept me informed and always answered my phone calls. Furthermore, when the state wanted to avoid a reasonable resolution, Mark continued to push for the resolution that was in my best interest. Some attorneys would of simply told me "this... is the best deal, take it." Mark never gave up and that is why I highly recommend his services to others.

Quick resolution to a serious situation

My nephew violated his parole for a first time drug offense and was thrown in jail with no bail as a result of this situation. He is a type 1 diabetic and was having health issues resulting in grave concern from the family. Upon meeting Mark I was relieved that he was a serious yet personable attorne...y, very knowledgeable and took care of the situation very quickly. On top of all this he was able to get my nephew out of jail in time for him to return to High School which was his greatest priority. I recommend Mark Urban for your legal issues because he did what he said he'd do and then did even more. Thank you Mark for resolving this serious issue.
