Drew's reviews were excellent and I can see why. At the initial consultation, Drew invested a considerable amount of time to genuinely listen to my concerns and I never felt rushed or that my concern was insignificant to him. After mulling over Drew's advice for a week to not seek action (based on several factors Drew addressed during the consultation) I decided his legal advice of walking away from the matter altogether was definitely in my best interest. It was unpleasant to initially accept that advise but in the end I believe he saved me from further headaches with the supply vendor. Thank you Drew for your responsive evaluation and input into my case and not just advising what I wanted to hear and/or taking my case for a quick fee.

I was contacted by this attorney after being referred through a State Bar referral service…read more Initially, the voicemail and introduction were professional and gave me a positive first impression. Unfortunately, the call quickly went downhill. Very early on, the attorney claimed to already understand my case without asking several key questions that would reasonably be expected in a family law consultation. When I attempted to clarify or provide context, the conversation turned into what felt more like a lecture than a consultation. Comments such as "whoa," "pump the brakes," and repeated interruptions made it difficult to get a word in. The tone became increasingly dismissive, with statements like "no, no, no -- this is this type of case," despite limited fact-gathering. I ultimately let him speak uninterrupted, at which point the conversation abruptly shifted to billing. I was told the case would require a $12,000 fee, framed as reasonable because "it's not $10k and other firms charge $15k." There was no clear explanation of scope, strategy, or why that number made sense for my situation -- just a comparison to higher numbers elsewhere. I then raised reasonable concerns about publicly available information: mixed reviews, limited time practicing in California, and lack of specialization in the specific area of law I was seeking help with. I asked how he would address those concerns and explain why hiring him would make sense. The response was dismissive, characterizing negative reviews as coming from "a few angry or upset people," followed by the comment that this was not "shit on Nick day." At that point, I ended the conversation and thanked him for his time. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional and overly familiar in tone, rather than client-centered or consultative. If this is how communication is handled with potential clients, I would be concerned about professionalism in higher-stakes settings. Zero stars if that were an option. I would also caution others that a State Bar referral does not appear to vet for professionalism or communication style. Only licensure I suppose.

Worst experience. Completely unprofessional, unresponsive, and disrespectful.I hired Nick expecting…read morecompetent legal representation, but his handling of my case was entirely unacceptable. Throughout the process, communication was nearly impossible. He routinely postponed scheduled calls, spent minimal time discussing my case, and consistently used being "busy with court" as an excuse to blow off my questions. I constantly walked on eggshells and accommodated his schedule, yet received zero support.The worst part occurred when he failed to show up for a scheduled court appearance. Despite being my attorney of record, he forced me to represent myself. When I messaged him during the hearing to get guidance on court lingo I did not understand, he became furious. After court, I called him to ask him a couple questions and yelled at me, condescended to me, and hushed me when I tried to speak. He falsely accused me of messaging him too early in the morning, which was entirely untrue.Nick showed a complete lack of respect, an unprofessional work ethic, and deeply concerning behavior toward me as a woman. No client should ever be yelled at or abandoned by the lawyer they paid to protect them. I am officially filing a formal complaint with the State Bar Association. Avoid this attorney at all costs.

Like many other people who have reviewed here, we used Mark and found him to be dishonest. Most of all, we also found our bill had increased dramatically without explanation and he refused to explain, discuss or provide details. He did not read relevant materials and we believe mishandled our case. There is a lot more that I will not go into here but I can stand behind a one star rating as the very least in what I feel is the poor review he deserves. Those of you who experienced something similar, please report it to the bar association as it looks like they are finally addressing his misconduct.
