John Doe
Client, Happy Customer

"I couldn't have asked for a better legal team. They fought for my rights and secured a settlement that exceeded my expectations."

Jane Smith
Client, Satisfied Client

An absolute pleasure to work with. Mark is personable, prompt and informative. They provide forthright and earnest service at competitive rates. They don't advertise this a bunch accept on their office door (they should) but they've got a bunch of local business awards for service, (but i guess you know walking in they're at the very least not dirtbags). Absolutely recommend over larger firms where you'll get lost in the pile.

Mark & the team at Zhivov Law took us on, even though our case wasn’t in their particular scope of practice. Mark was very helpful, thoughtful, and kind in all aspects. He related to us and our situation, and showed empathy. 10/10 would recommend and use again (hopefully we don’t need to).
