Practice Description:
Every divorce is different. Each divorce is the product of individuals with different backgrounds and experiences, marriages that are each unique, and family dynamics that are often wildly different from your neighbors next door. During what will likely be the most difficult time in your life, you should have someone help you and your spouse navigate the process to achieve and fair result that addresses each and every decision needed to achieve a divorce that is both final and certain as to its terms. While Mark’s job is to serve as a neutral party, he makes two things clear up front: (1) When it comes to children, Mark looks out for their best interests first, even if you or your spouse don’t; and (2) Mark works hard to detect and address power imbalances between spouses and uses techniques to ensure that one spouse doesn’t steamroll the other to a lopsided settlement. Mark offers a free 45-minute consultation to discuss to whether he is the right mediator for you and your spouse.

Background:
As a lawyer, Mark has over 30 years of litigation and courtroom experience across the country. Even before he finished law school, he had tried 3 jury trials as an intern in the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office, located in an Atlanta, Georgia suburb. He has been a criminal prosecutor, an assistant attorney general, a civil litigator, general counsel, and a national expert in witness preparation. He has seen it all. His education, training, and experience taught him that no matter the case or jurisdiction, cases are driven by human beings who are captive to their own emotions. Mark has attained an AV Preeminent® Peer Review Rating from Martindale-Hubbell, signifying the highest level of professional excellence. He was a Florida Super Lawyer for nine straight years from 2013 through 2021 and was previously named to Florida’s “Legal Elite.” His Avvo rating is a perfect 10 and he is licensed to practice law in Oregon, Florida, and Georgia.
