Mark McGowan was very professional and responsive. We needed a will and Power of Attorney completed and he was fast and efficient. He explained everything and took the time to go over the different options. I would recommend him for estate planning.
Trying to handle a legal problem from Washington state was made easy by hiring the right attorney in Mark McGowan
Working with Mark was both easy and productive. Found him to be a good listener and cut right to the chase on how to solve our issue. Would highly recommend him to anyone.
Being new to the area, we were unfamiliar with the California real estate legal landscape. Mark was able to advise us after quickly reviewing our documents. We very much appreciated the quick turnaround! Thank you, Mark.
Zero ROI. Very high rates.
After I paid a $1,750 retainer, Mark McGowan demanded $4,000 more to sign off on a document I personally revised due to his lack of involvement. Without his certification, the agreement cannot be used, effectively holding it hostage after months of work. This conduct raises serious ethical and professional concerns and demonstrates a clear misuse of the attorney-client relationship. Do not choose him as your lawyer.
Even though this lawyer didn’t represent me, he still managed to ruin my prenup. My wife paid him $1,750 to review and certify her side, but he did almost nothing: no edits after the first meeting, told her to revise it herself, and even advised us to sign it the same day it was finalized (which would’ve made it invalid under California law). He’s now refusing to certify it unless we pay thousands more. His negligence negatively affected both of us. Absolutely would not recommend.
One of the most disturbing aspects of my experience with Mark McGowan was receiving a printed draft of my contract on the reverse side of confidential legal documents belonging to other clients. These included wills, financial disclosures, and sensitive family legal matters. I brought them home unknowingly. As a client, this was not only shocking but deeply unethical. If he handled my information this way, I fear for how he’s handling yours.
Four words to describe Mark McGowan as a lawyer: Unprofessional, unethical, negligent, incompetent. Avoid his services at all costs. He will waste your time, claim ridiculous hours, fail to serve your best interests, make egregious errors, and refuse to complete his work unless you pay him a completely unreasonable fee.
