I write this review without reservation: Mark Somers from the very beginning and to the end was more than helpful. He was a voice and light that guided and helped me with a work injury that resulted me being out of work and loss of pay for close to a year. Mark fought for me and never gave up on me and because of this I was able to get a large money settlement for my injury (It's a process, please respect and understand that). My advice to you if you are hurt at work (even if it's minor) call Mark Somers and meet with him. You MAY think your employer cares about you and wants the best for you, but at the end of the day, the employer wants to spend as little as possible on you (Insurance Companies). I learned this the hard work after working for my employer for over 4 years, very little was offered to me. Fortunately I had Mark Somers by my side and I was able to get back up on my feet and return to a normal life. Keyword(s): Excellence, Dedication, Honest, Empathetic, Non-Judgemental, Down to Earth, Fair, and Loyalty. "Bad things happen to Good People" - If that's you right now, then contact Mark Somers.

Mark was a fantastic lawyer. He always got back to me with any questions I had, in a timely manor. He even emailed me out of business hours with an answer. I always knew exactly what was going on with my case, and most importantly, he explained everything so I understood.

Mark agreed to take on my appeal of a negative SSI disability ruling. Throughout the process, Mark and his entire staff effectively communicated and executed the steps needed to my ultimately successful appeal. I give Mark my utmost recommendation.

Mark and Connie did everything in the most professional way to get me my social security disability. Without the advice and assistance they gave me I never would have been able to get through this. Thank you both.

Mark Somers and the entire staff at Bronk and Somers did an excellent job on my Social Security Disability claim. Mark was very thorough and kept me informed every step of the way. The staff was welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. Phone calls were returned promptly and all written communication was timely. Communication is key to a successful office and it shows. I cannot thank Mark enough for his expertise which led to a successful outcome.

Hiring Mark Somers to handle my WC claim was one of the best decisions I've made. From my first consultation with Mark, I was totally confident that he was the attorney to hire. No longer living in Rochester, my case was handled remotely by phone and through email. Mark was always prompt, organized, detail oriented and very experienced in the handling of my claim. He never skipped a beat. I was updated, at least bi-weekly, as to the progress of my case, my questions were always answered very clearly and Mark always responded to any of my emails or phone calls within 24 hours. He always made me feel as if I was sitting right there in his office. Mark prepared me extremely well for the WC hearing with the law judge, as that was handled remotely, as well. It couldn't have gone more smoothly. It took just a few minutes for the judge to approve my claim. Mark did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Mark!

Mark was very knowledgeable and assisted me in navigating a workers compensation claim. He was always prompt in his response to any emails or calls I placed. I will be recommending him to any friend that needs a Lawyer for a workers compensation claim.

From the beginning, Mark was upfront and very helpful in understanding the workers compensation process. My particular case was longer than expected but Mark was always there if I had a question and always got back to me in timely fashion. I hope that if I never get hurt at work again but if I do, I will not hesitate to reach out to Mark again to represent me. Thank you Mark!

I contacted Mark after an injury that I had at work in 2012. He was recommended to me by my doctors as an excellent attorney. For approximately 6 years I have been working with Mark. He worked very hard to settle my comp case for the maximum amount possible. He was not only about to get me a lump sum, but also worked hard so i could keep my medical for life. Everytime an issue would arise, Mark would be right on it. He was in constant communication with me, explaining every detail to me in a way that I could understand. Mark is very easy to get along with, is an excellent lawyer, and I recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer for worker's compensation cases.
