Client Testimonials

Mark is an excellent Attorney to deal with.

Brian Tetreault (Accurate Converter)

Mark was brought onto my defense team in a complex white-collar matter. He has a rare mix of pragmatism, practicality, and relatability with the added element of skill and edge when required. A relatively small matter compared to others on his plate, I get the same level of service enjoyed as CLO/GC in my former life with other firms. Finally, he’s a great human being which adds a special dimension to the a/c relationship.
