My wife an I had ignored estate planning for too many years, but Mark took the time to explain the options and process, and was able to create and implement an estate plan that met all of our needs. Mark was accessible and shared his vast knowledge while answering all of our questions so that we were confident to move forward. The execution was seamless, all of the paperwork was properly prepared, and Mark and his staff were flexible, accommodating and professional during all interactions and the signing. I highly recommend Mark Steier for estate planning, wills and trusts.

Atty. Steier (Mark) has my highest recommendation! I could not have had a better experience. He has a friendly, genuine, compassionate and warm personality. He was extremely accommodating with all my questions, requests and special situations. He is the utmost professional and went to great lengths to help me as his client. He is excellent with communication whether by email, phone or video, prompt with timely responses and always available. He has a great office staff who follow his lead in being kind and helpful in every way possible. If you need help, Mark is your guy!

I have known and used Mark as my estate and will provider for over the past 20 years. He is easy to work with a vast knowledge and experience through his many years of practice in this area. He has always been responsive as well whenever I have a question or any possible change I may wish to consider. Additionally, he makes it a point to know and understand my family as well. You can"t go wrong with Mark!!!!

Mark helped us with a not so normal real estate transaction that included a use agreement. Mark gave us solid advice that protected our best interests. Mark also reviewed our estate planning and again gave advise and made only updates that were needed. Mark focused on the substance and did not suggest any stylistic changes but only on the important matters. Would recommend Mark without any hesitation or reservations.

I have worked with Mark on both the purchasing and sale of properties and estate planning. Over nearly 10 years working with him, I have found Mark to be a thorough, honest, and helpful attorney. Most recently my wife and I worked with Mark on estate planning, wills and medical proxy documents. Mark carefully walked us through each piece of the process and made sure we were totally comfortable with all the language as we signed the documents. A few months later when we needed to make changes, Mark was quick to respond to the request and work up the updated documents. We even were able to handle everything remotely during the Coronavirus pandemic to keep everyone safe. Above all, Mark's someone I trust to get things done right with the most important legal documents I've needed.

Mark worked with my parents to set up wills and trusts several years ago and they were always appreciative of the time and consideration, and excellent advice and service they were shown. Recently, my father passed away and I had to deal with settling the estate, selling his house, and so forth while living and working nearly a thousand miles away. Mark handled all of the legal necessities with the state and town, including the sale of the house. His work was efficient, timely, and effective. Mark made what could have been daunting task at a difficult time smooth and relatively painless, and he was always thoughtful and considerate. I am very appreciative of the work that he did on my behalf as well as the manner in which he did it. I recommend Mark highly and with complete confidence!

Working with Mark on our Will was a great learning experience for us. We wanted to draw up a will, and Mark talked us thoroughly through all aspects of the will, and importantly, pointed out the relationship of this with estate planning. He spent a lot of time exploring with us how and to whom and under what conditions we wanted to leave our estate. He made us think about aspects of our estate that we hadn’t thought about - such as specifying 2nd and 3 rd generation heirs, instead of just naming our primary heirs. This allowed us to leave specific items to great nieces and nephews. We both work, and he was very flexible with our demanding schedules. He explained thoroughly all of our questions. After a year, circumstances required that we make extensive changes to our will. This was done efficiently and quickly. Again, he explored with us what our specific wishes were, and insured that it was expressed in the correct legal jargon.

Mark has been my personal attorney for many years, and I've always found his advice to be thoughtful, useful and grounded in my best interests. Most recently he helped me write a will, not exactly a straight-forward process considering the children by former marriages that both my spouse and I brought to our union. I don't speak "legalese" but Mark listens carefully when I describe my wishes and then suggests how to proceed in everyday terms. He is empathic, and I trust him implicitly. His office is well-run and efficient.

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.
