I wish I knew about this site prior to hiring Mark. Everything I read was what I experienced and then some. At one point I couldn’t get ahold of him/his assistant for six months. Had to repeat things over and over all while being charged for it every time. He would write up things to put in my file regarding my ex wife not following the parental agreement and forget to send it to her lawyer. Ran up the bill and at the end pushed me To settle for a lot less then he lead me to believe. And never really listened when I would talk to him. He left out a tax issue that I told him about at the beginning, middle and towards the end. He got pushed around by my ex-wife and her lawyer. There’s more, but this should be enough. You can certainly find a better lawyer then Mark

All concerns have been satisfactorily and honorably resolved. Previous note, while frank, was unfairly harsh with the benefit of time and space.

Mark Schondorf worked diligently and effectively to help me resolve my divorce. Although this divorce did not have a lot of drama as some do, there were tricky business ownership and royalty issues to resolve. Mark patiently worked to resolve these differences that in some cases, due to the opposing council, took longer then they should have. All the while he also billed me fairly and properly. I would recommend him as a competent attorney, a good listener and one sympathetic to his clients needs.

Mark is a very professional attorney who has a thriving and growing firm. He managed my divorce with ease, understanding and efficiency. I would use him again if and when I ever need an attorney/firm to represent me.

Mark handled my divorce from August, 2016 till May, 2017. It was extremely emotional and upsetting with horrendous child custody evaluation since my husband was trying to obtain full custody of my son. He worked diligently with the financial end of the case while the custody evaluation was in progress. I highly recommend him, I regret changing attorneys, which is not always a wise choice. divorce.

An honest review by a recent client, not a friend or acquaintance posing as one. Let me be clear, stay away from this Firm! I have never been represented by such an incompetent lawyer as with Mr. Schondorf. This attorney brings a big fat zero to the table. You will most likely lose your case and waste your hard earned dollars in the process. You will also find yourself doing most of the talking because Mr. Schondorf is simply unable to articulate any type of defense while in the Court Room. He demonstrated little to no skill-set when working on my case. I take no pleasure in writing a negative review, but with my experience I feel that others have the right to know when services rendered are so bad that they are simply unacceptable. I wish more people did this, and this is one thing that Social Media and reviews are actually good for. I will not judge Mr. Schondorf, and instead try to provide some details around his professional abilities, or there the lack of. Let us start with the most basic items, Mr. Schondorf has terrible organization skills, he is likely to request information from you that you have previously provided him with on a multitude of occasions, this will not only drive up cost but also play on your frustration levels. His overall Legal skills are subpar, I personally found myself challenging Mr. Schondorf on Legal Statutes to the point where I had to directly point him to it. You are likely to find yourself arguing with your own attorney because his lack of skill and performance will be very frustrating to you. You will find yourself investing a lot of time in keeping a close watch on this attorney as a result of his lack of skill-set, knowledge, accuracy, and overall ability. You will also find that his communication is not timely, and his work often contains errors. Be prepared to spend hours looking over his paperwork, and countless emails, all of which is costing you money. The details of your case are likely to be forgotten, so you'll find yourself having to remind him of them. If you decide to go ahead and proceed with hiring him as a representing attorney, be prepared for a long haul! The one thing that this attorney is good at is prolonging even the simplest matters. He is likely to hide behind "this is the process", so be ready for it. Once the case has gone for some time, he will likely try and advise you on settling. This is especially true when the dollars start to run out! This attorney performed so inadequately that it was necessary for me to file a complaint with the ARDC. In addition, I am now forced to consider Legal Malpractice charges against him as I feel I was totally misrepresented. Honestly there are probably a thousand other lawyers that would yield a much better result for you. Good luck!

I consulted and hired Mark to assist with divorce from my spouse of 9 years. I wanted to get it done and over before the end of 2016. With Marks advice I was able to quickly navigate through the steps and how to create some dialog with spouse (my now former). I knew it would be more cost effective if we agreed on everything and file noncontested. He was candid about what a worse case scenario would look like and that I had a good case for a much better outcome. Thankfully spouse and I had no children so we only needed to split assets and liabilities. My former and I were already living in separate accomdations and had already split a majority of assets. I wanted to make sure I protected certain assets during the divorce. Once everything was agreed upon we both went to Marks office to complete all necessary paperwork. Mark prepared all relevant paperwork, had us sign and sent it in to County Clerks office. I asked to get the earliest court date possible and Mark made it happen. Prior to court date he provided email with relevant details for the court date. The day of, he was in communication about his arrival. Prior to entering courtroom he walked me through what to expect and courtroom procedure. My case was the first to be heard that day. I am grateful to Mark for his swiftness in executing my divorce and his sage advice. I would and already have recommended Mark to others.

Even before I hired Mr.Mark, he provided me all the information about my divorce case. I am very happy that I hired Mr.Mark for my complicated divorce case. Mr.Mark is very friendly And he was always been answering your call and providing all the details very clearly which made my life easy during my tough times. I would 100% recommend Mr.Mark for divorce cases. I wish Mr.Mark all the very best.

I hired mark after dealing with a big firm lawyer for two years and got no where. In 3 weeks mark was able to accomplish more than my other attorney did in two years. Mark will always answer your call or get back to you quickly. Very smart attorney. Very through in all is work. Very fair billing practices. Honest, transparent. If you need a family law attorney look no further, call mark. He is head a shoulders above everyone else!

Mark is a professional who fought for me in my divorce case. He is punctual, knows the law and is not intimidated. He exudes integrity, honesty and makes sure he understands your case by discussing the issues with you. He is thorough and understands the nuances of the courtroom. Remember he specializes in Family court, divorce and separation. He knows what he is doing. Thanks again Mark for taking my case and making a difficult situation come to a fair resolution and the Judge ruling in my favor. Thanks again. I vow i will recommend your professionalism to anyone needing a great lawyer.

Mark quickly and effectively settled my divorce. We obtained a fair settlement with little back and forth, saving everyone stress and money, and allowing me to move on with my life. Additionally, Mark showed compassion for my situation. This is important because you don't want a lawyer that makes you feel like you're just a source of billable hours.

Mark represented me in a personal injury case. The case settled within approximately one year (very quick turnaround) for a reasonable amount. Mark is very professional, easy to contact, kept me informed at all times, and a very trustworthy attorney. I would refer all of my family and friends to him knowing they would be represented appropriately.
