Practicing law as an independent attorney allows Mark to ensure clients are provided with a personal one-on-one working relationship that is both attentive and client-centered while pursuing the legal process. Law firms spread the legal work to other staff attorneys. Typically, there is a partner in charge of the case with associates doing much of the work.

When a client chooses a law firm, often they do not receive the individualized personal attention that they expected and can feel frustrated and overlooked. In addition, there are substantial costs incurred when lawyers divide up legal research, discovery and trial. As a sole practitioner Mark's operating overhead is lower, allowing him to provide clients with high quality legal representation at reasonable rates.

Mark believes that keeping his clients well-informed is crucial to successful and satisfactory representation and will manage your case from start to finish competent and diligent service. To ensure his client's expectations are met, he provides them with frequent case updates are along with promptly returned phone calls and email.
