Mark DeVore did an amazing job. I had another defense attorney who was pretty bad. I hired Mark after I entered a bad plea deal. He stepped in and helped me straighten things out. Afterwards, he helped me get my record expunged. He took a very active role in defending me, always explained to me what he was doing and why, and always planned for the worst case scenario. I hope I'll never need a defense attorney again, but if I do, I'm calling this guy.
I had 20 year outstanding warrant and not only did he get rid of the warrant; he got the case reduced to a misdemeanor!!! Yessss!!! He is the best, very proactive and an attorney of his word. A 5 Star Attorney!
