About Mark The Lawyer
Having a background in sales and marketing taught me about the lifetime value of a client. That is why you will find me to be far more accessible and hands-on than most attorneys.
The type of person that hires me tends to not want some impersonal law firm representing them but rather wants to have a one on one relationship with their lawyer. That is what you will get from me. With me it's simple. You get:
- A lawyer you can talk to;
- A problem solver;
- Someone who will help you avoid pitfalls;
- A plan to prevent problems before they begin;
- The one person looking out for you!
