    "I have worked mainly with Mark mediating cases on which he was the attorney for one of the parties. Mark always had his client prepared for the mediation and he was straight with his client regarding expectations. He worked hard with me to resolve the case in a way that was reasonable while still advocating for his client." D.D., attorney, Dallas, 8/27/11
