Mark did an excellent job helping me in a complicated divorce with children involved. He was thorough, quick to respond, easy to get in touch with, gave excellent advice that was ultimately the game changer for me from being the underdog that was blindsided to regaining ground and getting a fair outcome. Thank you, Mark.

Mark Haslem, is your attorney to take initiative on your behalf at the very worst moments of your life. Mark's sheer knowledge of the law is awe inspiring equal only too his ability and drive to do the absolute best for his clients. Mark is extremely proficient in depositions, mediations and the court room. I have personally witnessed him in action for all three. On my darkest court days Mark was steadfast, and most of all effective.

Kristina R. I originally went with "big name" firms and it never went well. There were details missed or mistakes made and I was disappointed. I didn't think I would hire another attorney to deal with my ex husband and a friend recommended Mark. I have referred several people to him already. He knows other local attorneys, he understands Ottawa/Kent county judges, he is honest with expectations, and he WILL do what is best for you even when you don't want to.

Mark Haslem with his paralegal provided an incredible amount of knowledge and expertise to my divorce case. My divorce was complicated with a business, kids, and many assets. Mark knew exactly how to handle each angle and developed a game plan that allowed myself not to fall into any traps or major issues that the other lawyers were trying so hard to make happen. He is always available and gives a very sincere outlook to the case in front of him. I am very happy I went with Haslem and will recommend this law firm and lawyer to everyone I come across who needs a great lawyer and phenomenal representation. Thank you.

I hired Mark as a recommendation from another lawyer . Best decision I ever made during my very long and drawn out custody battle with my ex husband. Mark is one of the most knowledgeable lawyers I have ever encountered. After going thru 3 other lawyers to help w a very complicated custody case , Mark was finally the one to draw out all the lies and finally get my case for the best interest of my children going in the right direction. We are finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel and Mark truly cares about my family . He has every t crossed and every I dotted!!

I met Mark Haslem in January of 2018 when my divorce started. A friend of mine recommended that I consider using him because he “is the type of guy who doesn’t take sh*t from anyone and likes to win”. I knew I was going to need that for my “high conflict” divorce that ended up taking 2.5 years to complete. It took another year after that to resolve the child support. After knowing Mark for almost 4 years now, I have to agree that he is that type of guy. However, he is so much more than that too. His knowledge and experience is incredible but his professionalism (especially in court) is still something I watch in awe. Most important to me, though, is that Mark has a good heart. He does not like to see people get taken advantage of and he will fight honestly for what’s right. Mark has always taken such great care of not only me but my three kids as well. For that, I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend him as a lawyer and a close friend.

We were faced with a difficult and complicated family issue dealing with real estate and inheritance possibilities with property owned by my mother. While we ultimately were unable to resolve things due to the estate, will and trust created in another state and the deadline imposed, Mark was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in his research and suggestions for possible solutions to our dilemma. Would highly recommend him...he went above and beyond.

Mark is a brilliant attorney. My divorce was complicated, contentious and drawn out. Mark was supportive throughout all of it. He and his staff handled our case with confidence and professionalism. He also achieved a ruling that was better than I even thought possible. So glad we hired him. Also… because personal attacks in these professional reviews that offer nothing factual and only serve to blemish a professional’s reputation/rating bother me, I want to say, regarding the reviewer who decided to name-call in ‘her’ review, aside from being childish, it’s also in my opinion, untrue. In my many dealings with Mark over several years, he has always conducted himself with appropriate kindness and professionalism.

Mark's knowledge of the law and experience were instrumental in my divorce/custody case. He presented various options for my consideration and explained everything in detail. He was prompt in responding to my questions. I would highly recommend Mark for a divorce and custody.

My divorce was contentious and Mark and his staff were wonderful. The advice was open and honest and all aspects were explained in detail to me. I could have not asked for a better experience considering the hostility in the divorce. Mark's experience and knowledge were the best.
