As a former "Fortune 500” C.E.O., I dealt with many qualified lawyers, in business and/or family law.
Mark, a Stanford graduate, is well qualified in those areas of the law. He did an excellent job on a number of my family legal issues, including setting up my family trust. If you engage his services, don’t worry, you won’t be treated just as an object for chargeable hours. Mark makes you feel special and he charges for productive hours only.
I recommend him highly.

Mark McGowan is a great lawyer!

He helped me resolve a legal dispute regarding a business partnership breakup.

Not only is Mark an objective arbitrator, but he’s a great negotiator when he’s fighting for you!

Mark’s given me excellent legal advice many times over the years. I’ve always been really happy with the outcome.

If you want to win (and you are a winner) choose Mark McGowan.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mark for many years and have relied on him as my legal guru for issues regarding trusts, litigation, probate, business law, real estate and family law. He is simply the best: personable, knowledgeable, diligent - and his fees are reasonable, especially given the quality of attentive service he personally provides. A class act in the office and in court, he aggressively protects my interests. You can tell he really cares about his clients.

I had the pleasure of having Mark as a family law attorney for a number of years. I lived in Illinois and had used him for 3 separate custody battles. All of which I won. Keeping the children in Illinois. The funny thing is that I had him as an attorney for 8 years and had never physically met him until the third battle started. He always advocated on my children's part and even went so far as to ask if I wanted to stay in his guest house during my visit. This was a man that laid his whole self out for his client. Myself and my kids.

It was a couple years since I had talked to him and I was missing his assistant when I called. He had an amazing southern bell of a lady working as his right hand. When I spoke to him I found out she had actually passed. Mark and his team mate were like acquired family and I was truly saddened by that.

He is a great attorney, a strong advocate for right, and a truly great guy. Over the years as I progressed in my own career he would even give me praise and say that is amazing.

If you want a person to take your family's wellness to heart and fight for the good. He is your man.

Thank you Mark. Wholeheartedly.

I've had the privilege of knowing Mark for many years. As a fellow attorney, I know him to have expertise in civil litigation, business law, family law and real estate matters. As his client, i have known him also as a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law, & he has helped me in these areas immensely. He prepares estate plans with knowledge of his field, patience, and determination. He strives to produce the best estate plan tailored for your specific needs, whatever they may be in that arena of your life. But what I really would like to share with everyone out there, is Mark as a person - how much he cares about people, especially his clients, prioritizing their interests, often ahead of his own. This is an uncommon trait in an attorney and therefore all the more treasured in Mark. Whether in court, interacting with opposing counsel, handling document preparation, or meeting with you and your family as clients--this is the lawyer you want to have to protect your legal interests.

Mark listened and heard our questions. He was very thorough in his explanations and recommendations. We have referred friends to him and as you know, that is the highest compliment to be paid to someone!

Mark McGown is the ultimate trustworthy professional for both legal and investment services. My parents used Mark for many years from preparation of their family trust, to entrusting him with their investment strategies. In the past year, Mark assisted me in successfully navigating the legal and financial complexities of settling my parents estate. Needless to say, it was an easy decision to transfer my own investments to Mark.

When I recall the services of Attorney McGowan several words come to mind. Mark was professional, ethical, fair and reasonably priced. I recommend his services.

Mark is a true professional. He has worked on estate planning for several generations of my family and he always exceeds expectations. When you sit down with Mark you immediately know you have made the right choice.

Mark has been my friend for many years. He is very professional and an excellent lawyer. He is the man you want in your corner representing you.
