Reviews for Mark
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr Brenner just blew me away with his speedy response, sympathy, and compassion. As experienced and senior as he, he actually picked up a phone and called a stranger (me) upon one email request, spent almost an hour listening and explaining things to me, helped me sort out my thoughts, and show me my most affordable options. Things he said not only made perfect sense, but also spook for his knowledge, sharpness, and professionalism. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who has the need in resolving a coop dispute!
Our firm hired Mark to work on a complicated bankruptcy case in EDNY. He is quick to understand the matters, explained the process clearly, made strategic recommendations, and offered things i have never thought about. His advice is brilliant and critical for us to move the case in the direction of our preference. Love you work Mark.
I left feeling as if I stolen something. I cannot believe the level of service, experience and professionalism provided for a service where they fully knew payment was not involved. I as advised in great detail and serviced as if I was a client paying a high retainer and hourly fee. I was provided two very clear and reasonable options to resolve my matter. Also, the turn around time was insanely and unexpectedly fast. I was referred to and met with Mr. Brenner within 24 hours.
Mark was professional, understanding, knowledgeable and always responded to all inquiries in a timely manner.
I was very impressed with Mark Brenner's capacity for professional, empathetic and astute guidance. He was always available and patient, and as honorable as he was dogged about achieving success. While I always felt I was at the top of priority list, I was also impressed by his profound sense of fairness to everyone involved. If he wasn't practicing law, he'd make an excellent judge, but I"m happy he's not yet made that leap because I'm grateful to his legal advice.
Thoroughly professional. Explains legal issues in a clear, informative way. Goes above and beyond to make sure everything is done with the utmost care. I felt my concerns were addressed and answered at all times. He is also very responsive. I felt like I mattered, that my legal problems mattered, and that they would be resolved with the best legal expertise.
I have known and worked with Mark Brenner for about 12 years, and when I personally needed legal representation he was the guy I went to. I can say without reservation he is as good as it gets.
He is a phenomenally diligent, brilliant, honorable, and determined lawyer. He is a resourceful problem-solver who takes his clients' problems on his own shoulders, and will not rest until he's achieved for his client a workable solution. He worked miracles for me. A great lawyer.
Very dedicated professional, customer focus, forward thinker and big risk taker; at times, maybe at his own expense. Highly recommend him. Be prepared for surprises that may seem unorthodox but which for sure, under his leadership, will work well at the end.
Very professional and helpful. Helped me in understanding what I needed to do and how it all works.
Mark was really great at explaining and keeping me in the loop of the process in regard to my legal needs. Everything went great and I really recommend his services to anyone who is looking to understand their legal situation.
