"Before finding Upcounsel and Mark, I was at a complete loss as to where to find an attorney that specialized in my particular needs. I happened upon Upcounsel and posted my project. Within 24 hours I had proposals from several very competent and experienced attorneys, one of whom was Mark. He patiently answered my initial questions, provided outstanding advice and legal assistance, was highly responsive, and downright pleasurable to work with. Mark is a great provider for a great service!"
