I hired Mark in October for a DWI charge and he was fabulous to work with. I made a huge mistake, but he was very compassionate about helping me to rectify it. He answered all of my questions and guided me through the process which I never could have navigated on my own. I was pleased with the outcome he helped to negotiate for me, and I’m so grateful that I chose to hire him. His fee was extremely fair and reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend Mark!

Mark helped me through one of the hardest situations I have ever been through. He was highly responsive, kept me in the loop and apprised of all the details in my case. Most importantly he worked out a resolution that was in my best interest. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Mark was kind, patient, fair and always took time to hear me. He didn’t make big promises but rather clearly laid out the realities of my situation and then rolled up his sleeves and worked hard to find the best possible outcome for me. My case was in Scott county and he was well acquainted with the prosecutors and judges there as well as those in surrounding counties. I appreciate Marks honesty, kind manner and depth of knowledge, I could not have managed this without him.

I was arrested for my 5th DWI in my lifetime. During this process my mother was very sick until Mark went to bat for me did everything you could call checked up on me he was not only my word he became a very close Confidant. He went to bat for me on numerous occasions during this process my mother passed away. He got everything I asked for and more from the attorneys and had my back during the whole process and kept in contact. He also help me with my fees and was understanding about my situation. I would highly recommend Mark for your attorney reasons and purposes he is the best lawyer in the state of Minnesota. Not only a great lawyer but a great person. I would highly recommend you go with Mark he will go to bat for you and do anything possible for the best possible result.

Contacted Mark through email and he called me within minutes. From there we went over my case. I hired him and he took over from there. He was able to get charges dropped to a lower charge. Would recommend Mark to anyone.
