    I've watched Mark's progression from city administrator, through law school, and as he has developed into a mature lawyer of a high ethical caliber and excellent legal skills.

    I have found Mark to be highly ethical and very effective at communicating with opposing counsel. He is reasonable and understands what is and is not important about the cases and arguments.
