I always felt like Mark was my advocate during my divorce proceedings. He properly advised me on which legal actions to take and he was always considerate of the cost/benefit of each action. He was always accessible and if he wasn't he promptly returned my emails/calls the same day. During the settlement phase he knew when to be tough and when to negotiate. I can easily say he was the best attorney I have ever hired!
I did extensive research on family law attorneys before advising my daughter to retain Mark. He was attentive, personable, timely responsive, proactive, and really cared about his client and in the end we could not have asked for a better result. I highly recommend Mark for your family law needs.
I just completed my second divorce. (Wish I had met Mark 20 years ago!) I cannot express how qualified and professional Mark Flaherty is. I was dealing with a unique and challenging situation and I felt heard and represented in all aspects. His staff was professional and sensitive to how stressful this process can be. His fees were fair and I highly recommend Mark!!
I found Mark to be a great listener and right to the point with direction and options. He does not waste time and is very fair with billing. His concern was what I needed with genuine advice every step along the way that gave me options to streamline or continue. It's nice to know your options and to work with someone you know cares about his clients. I did my homework and Mark is very respected in the courts. Just a simple call and you will understand what a true professional lawyer is.
