I'm writing this review on my behalf and my family. I got into some legal trouble last year and I was in need of a lawyer. Mark and his staff at the office were very helpful. I was charged with a Felony charge in Bakersfield. From day one Mark told me that he would not recommend anything but a Misdemeanor. Mark was honest and direct which was what I needed at the time. He always made himself available when I needed to meet up with him and if I had a question to ask his staff they were always willing to help. Through all the hearings even when I was willing to give up Mark inspired me not to quit and he would get me the misdemeanor. I would see him sometimes and I'd be ready to just give up but he wasn't. Finally, the DA finally gave up. Mark wore them out. And I got a misdemeanor and no jail time. I haven't written many reviews but I believe when you're in need of a lawyer and you're searching for one. I believe it's good to do some research. Having said that, all I can do is be honest and tell you that Mark is a great lawyer, he saved all my future and is the right person you'll in your corner when you're in need of a lawyer. My family and I will always be grateful to Mark and his staff for their help.
