Mark Gruber, Esq., J.D., L.L.M. (Retired)

Mark the Shark If being a divorce lawyer was an Olympic sport this man deserves a gold medal. I really wish that everyone except my ex could be blessed with such a great attorney. Mark Gruber’s knowledge of divorce law is unsurpassed. After over 40 years of practicing he still loves family law. The other day I had to call him for something and the first words out of his mouth after I asked him how he could do this for a living were “I love helping people through their divorce.” He does and it shows. I thought about getting a quickie divorce without an attorney but I’m glad I didn’t. I hired him after a phone call without meeting him and the results were immediate and life changing. Getting divorced is never easy. There are a lot of details in a divorce that require a skilled attorney. If you have children, assets or retirement benefits it is important to make sure these are taken care of properly by someone who knows what their doing. There were so many times I couldn’t take it anymore because of unprofessional attorneys and considered giving in and giving up but I’m glad I listened to him and persevered. Besides being very knowledgeable about the law, he has great relationships with other attorneys which helps when negotiating settlements. He never loses his cool. His skills in the courtroom are also impressive. He never raised his voice or was disrespectful even though the opposing attorney unsuccessfully tried to pull every dirty unethical trick in the book to win. I filed for divorce twice before with other attorneys and stayed in a horrible marriage for nearly 20 years. Finally, I got divorced and I feel much better. I really believe he is the best. I was so glad I hired Mr. Gruber, even happier that my ex didn’t. -- Anonymous
