Review content:
Very disappointed… I originally went with Mark based on what I had read about. However, throughout the divorce I found that e-mails became excessive due to his responses being vague. I had to ask for specifics and descriptions. Each e-mail is costly and they add up fast. I had to ask repeatedly for documentation...ie: DeNovo hearing records. I requested a copy at least four to five times over several months... \r
\r
In support of him doing a better job for his next divorce client, I offered him the following feedback… Though not all inclusive, as it applies, be sure to properly address a spouse’s financial disclosure statement. ie: if she works at a hair salon, get pay stubs… There should be no surprises to the client at a final hearing...If there is a DeNovo hearing, get the transcripts to the client on their first request. If there is mediation, stay on top of things to ensure timeliness of the process in your client’s favor…Be sure to provide detailed explanations to your client on the procedures and expectations of proceedings. This will help to avoid multiple e-mails and related over billing. In the best interest of your client, ensure specific language is in writing …Be sure to address any QDRO in favor of your client prior to a divorce being finalized. Be sure to provide your client with a final MSA and related paperwork signed by all parties so the client does not have to get a copy for themselves elsewhere. Be sure to provide your client with a copy of all documents for their records. Most important…be sure to spell the name of your client correctly. Folks may overlook a time where their attorney or the client themselves would provide a misspelling. But to do so on numerous occasions is unacceptable. I lost count through the e-mails and received envelopes where my name was misspelled. That is just sloppy work and sends a message to the client that you don't care. \r

The point is I do not feel that Mark really fought for me, but rather seemed to agree to whatever my ex-wife's attorney wanted. I found his posture too laid back. I was hoping for him to be more aggressive and fight to win. As a result, I contacted my wife at the time, and we came to an agreement in effort to stop the ridiculous legal fees. I have withdrawn his services. Thank GOD..... I would suggest to anyone seeking divorce, research and understand processes and costs in detail. Really take the time to read all reviews before selecting an attorney. Based on my experience with Mark, and speaking with others who have been through a divorce with different representation, Mark did not represent me well. If you want vague billing, silly e-mails, always needing to follow up with him, huge stress, poor communication and what seems to be an endless bill for his legal fees...then Mark is the attorney for you. I firmly believe that the divorce dragged on longer than it needed to.\r

By the way, he recently sent me two e-mails objecting to my on-line posting at avvo. Go figure…a super fast response from him after reading negative feedback. He could have provided me with one e-mail and stated what he needed to. Sending me two merely reinforces the obvious and further supports my position. \r
\r
So, do I bill him for reading two of his e-mails or just one? Lol…
