I was referred to Mark Gruber by a friend. I had one week to find a Lawyer, respond to a motion, and meet a court deadline. Mark took my call immediately. He made time in his schedule to address my needs. He protected my family. Mark: is an expert in his field, is down-to-earth, is a great mentor, is true to his word, is honest with the Judges, treats all parties with respect, never loses his cool, protects the children's best interests, has a great sense of humor, has a great team behind him.
In addition, his legal assistant/paralegal, Amy, explains the process thoroughly. She has typed hundreds of documents for my case, and I have yet to find an error. Her dates, times, and facts are flawless.
Every Lawyer should have a paralegal like Amy. And she is always smiling ... a rare feat in a law office.
No question is too small or insignificant for Amy (I am sure she is great with her grandchildren!)
As my friend put it, "Even if you can't win, you walk out of Mark's office feeling better than you walked in." It's sort of magical. I guess in a nutshell, you will not only learn about the law (and how to navigate the legal labyrinth;) you will also learn to be a better human being. There's never a dull moment while waiting for a Judge to make an appearance. I tell Mark to work on other clients while we sit and wait in court; however, he refuses. You will get the individualized attention that we all deserve. When you make an appointment with Mark, don't forget to ask him about his awesome rock collection. And ask him what makes a marriage work. And ask him for the app that avoids the traffic getting to court. And you will never see Mark lose his cool - never. He is too dignified. He won't tolerate anything less from himself or others. You won't be disappointed. -- Tanya B.
