I have been working with Mark and his firm for 2 years on a variety of litigation and he has been great. He is a strong advocate when needed and an able negotiator when the situation calls for it. We plan to continue our relationship with this firm into the future.

Mark is amazing and helped us get out of a terrible complex situation that I do not believe anyone else could have helped with. In our case we saved over $1M through engaging Mark. Highly recommended.

Mark is an excellent trial lawyer who I hired to handle the most dangerous, difficult and complicated litigation problems we faced as a company, for about 25 years while I served as Chief Legal Officer.
