With Mark’s guidance and expertise, he made the collaborative divorce experience tolerable and far less stressful than I expected. I would fully recommend him with no reservations.

Mark is a wonderful, knowledgeable attorney. He is not just "in it to win it" he cares about his clients and making sure they have a great understanding of the divorce proceedings. He made my divorce very smooth and exhibited a great level of communication from start to finish. I highly recommend him. He has an impeccable level of honesty and integrity.

Divorce is terrible but I made it through with my integrity and stability in tact because of Mark! Thanks Mark!

Many of the issues attorneys help clients with are anxiety provoking to say the least. So going to an attorney that is compassionate but also is very self confident really helps. Mark is direct, confident, and thinks things through carefully but quickly. He gets the job done because I'm sure he understands time adds up to dollars for his clients. I would highly recommend Mark Bezinque if you need an attorney.

Mark is very quick at getting back to emails and phone calls. He explained things to easily understand every step of the process and had everything done very fast. Couldn’t have had a better experience and I would highly recommend to anyone!

As in all divorces, we all face the emotional drains of the process and the unrealistic demands of our soon to be ex-spouses. I was referred to Mark by a close friend, and was the best advice I ever received. After he heard my story (I was also recovering from a surgery for 6 weeks during this), he laid out the ground work for the next steps and provided me ample information as to how NYS Law looks into these divorce cases. He is honest in setting appropriate expectations, very responsive to his clients concerns and questions. During frustrating portions of the legal proceedings (my ex was very unreasonable on what she wanted), Mark helped me remain centered and focused on the larger goal for me, and together we succeeded. Mark's professionalism and diligence to his clients (along with his peers) stands out to me as one of the best and have no issues referring anyone to him in the future. On a personal note, outside the standard "attorney/client relationship, he is a good man to have a conversation with and I'll never be able to thank him enough for everything he has done for me. Thank you very much sir!

Mark provided great direction and advice throughout my divorce. It wasn't my intention to "take my ex for everything" and thus put my kids thru a big mess, but my ex was not on the same page as me, probably why we got divorced. Mark helped me find the right balance between minimal impact to the kids while still protecting my assets.

As some other clients wrote, the 1st time you talk to Mark you'll feel like you've known him forever. Was professional and helpful every time I came to office or called. No One wants to go thru a divorce!!!!. But if you do, Mark is your guy, trust me.

A divorce is a difficult time in one’s life. My case and request was not typical. Most lawyers in Rochester told me I didn’t stand a chance of winning and didn’t even give me the proper time of day to explain my position. Mark took the time to learn my case, hear me out and work with me on my divorce concerns and fight for me. Mark eventually won my case when every other lawyer in Rochester told me to not waste my time. I really appreciate Mark taking the time to hear me out and fight for me and eventually winning my case in this most difficult time in my life. if you want a lawyer that cares about you and your needs. Then Mark is your best choice for a lawyer.

There are very few positive moments attached to a divorce. However hiring Mark Bezinque was one of them. I received many referrals for lawyers and after researching each and every lawyer it was Mr. Bezinque that I trusted with my case. I have thoroughly appreciated all of his legal advice and expertise. Mark knows what he's talking about, which made it easy to trust his advice, he is very down to earth, kind and helpful. He has been nothing short of amazing. Although this has been an extremely difficult time in my life, he has given me piece of mind. Would HIGHLY recommend.
