Mark defended me with vigor and was excellent in his duties of an attorney. He gave me back my life and gave me a second chance to live as a normal human being.
Mark and his team are great! My circumstances were complex but he was there answering every email and text, even after hours, no matter how silly they may have been to someone as knowledgeable as he. Not only will I continue to use Mark for all my legal needs but I have recommend him to my family and friends should they need assistance.
Mark has always responded to and handled each case myself or people I have sent to him, with care. He has won cases for me, and adamantly fought for people I know.
I had obert as a court appointed attorney and he was able to pull some strings and had my time cut into less then a week when i was supposed to have 6 months minimum he does his research well and really works for you.
His office is messy, as well as being unkempt himself. He had no legal aid or receptionist.he was impossible to get a hold of never returning our calls. He never did what we asked of him,constantly changing his story. Only reacting to what opposing counsel filed. He never produced detailed receipts, accurate statements or necessary information.Then with attitude took no accountability for deadlines that were missed, important filings or overlooked basic facts. I never felt like he cared or had any interest in winning .Produced zero results and lost our case. Then i discover his suspensions and multiple complaints outlining similar treatment. don't ever trust this man he should have his license revoked and pay restitution to the poor clients that put their future in his hands.
I hired Mark in 2018 to represent me. I told him wha I wanted him to do from day 1 he refused so this has dragged out for 2.5 years. Had to hire another attorney. if I had seen all the complaints before I would have never hired him my wife thought he was her friend. He either is incompetent or just dishonest
I'll start with what I saw him do that was good. He showed up for all court appearances. Other than that he was disorganized and unprofessional. Some of his instructions left me feeling very uncomfortable. He almost never returned phone calls or requests for contact. I never knew what was going on or what his strategy was. After 14 months of waiting for trial and 3 resets he tells me on the morning of trial that he is not prepared to argue and wants me to plead guilty. Plea deals are suppose to be thoughtful and well negotiated and in many cases over the course of several discussions with the prosecutor. Mine was impromptu. I absolutely do NOT recommend him under any circumstances.
He told us he was working hard on our loved ones case and was billing as if he was working hard, yet he would go months without a return call or email. We show up to court and his defense was so weak he may as well have been working for the other side. An unbelievable waste of time, money and energy. He also had some very questionable billing practices. Charging us hours for interviews we found out lasted 5 minutes, etc. This guy should not be practicing law.
I don't know if this guy knows anything or not, he was unresponsive to phone calls, refused to come to jail to talk even on days office said scheduled to come talk. Always out to client and clients family.
