Hired Attorney Mark P. Foster, Jr.

First, I would like to let viewers know that this a real review of Mark. After my arrest I sought out the best defense attorney that I thought was sincere and upfront honest with me, and would not just sell me to the DA, so I went thru all of Charlotte's who's who of lawyers, I mean of all the well known guys, asked them about each other and felt like Mark was the one who shot straight and was well liked and praised by fellow law peers. He saved my family and I and for that that am grateful.
