Mark and Dan have helped me navigate numerous small matters, both in and out of the court system, over the last few years.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Mark McAuliffe as an experienced, effective attorney. I have consulted with Mark on two separate, very different situations and found him to be a superb listener, approachable and patient. He focused the discussions and actions on the desired end result and followed up to ensure that the matter was resolved satisfactorily. Highly recommended.
