Good lawyers aren't cheap and cheap lawyers aren't good. Like tattoos! From my initial call with Donna, to my consultation with Mark, was completely satisfied. Mark is a straight shooter and didn't mince words. Feel really good about the advice given and would gladly recommend anyone to him.

I hired Mr. Bednar last week for a case involving an HOA. He immediately started on my case and has called me at least 3 times with updates. He called to discuss his plan for my case. Then he called to let me know it had been filed. He called to explain next steps and see if I have any questions. I am finally able to sleep without worrying!

When my father passed I had no idea what to do. I called to make an appointment and his secretary put me straight through to him. He answered all my questions and had me at ease about the situation within a few minutes over the phone, free. I didn't think those kind of Attorneys existed anymore!

I trusted Mark in the beginning because he said he could "easily" do what I needed in the time frame that I needed it to be done no problem...... That turned out not to be the case at all. First thing was to not even start on the case for 4 months (after I already paid cash) till I emailed to see how it was going.??? He had done nothing to get the case started. Also didn't pursue what I said that I wanted him to do instead went a direction that wasn't necessary to to get what I needed done causing the time limit to expire that was clearly made known to him.. he talked a great game but didn't produce the needed results and kept making excuses for his lack of what he said he could do. I was so disappointed in Mark because I really believed he would come through for me with what I needed. Puts a very bad taste in my mouth and now I need to find someone that will do more than TELL me they can do what I need and get me RESULTS in a timely manner. Cliff

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
