Client Reviews
“We have never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to turn.”
We found ourselves in a situation where we needed a criminal defense attorney. We have never been in a situation like this before and didn’t know where to turn. A friend’s lawyer recommended Mark Longwell.
My husband called and left a message on Sat., Dec. 27. Mark himself returned the call within an hour. We hired them and they went right to work on my case.
There was an urgency as we were booked on a cruise 1/10 and I was told I could not leave the state of Florida. Our son was getting married on the ship and I didn’t know if I would be able to be there.
They made motions to allow me to leave the state and also to dismiss the case. Everything was running behind because of the holidays.
The morning of Jan. 6, Andrew called to tell me that my case was dismissed! I was never so happy or greatful in my life. A little later Mark called as well. They really went to work for me and I would recommend them to anyone.

“If you need the best help for you and for your family, this is your guy.”
There are a lot of attorneys to choose from when you need help. What drew me in originally was the great reviews of Mark and his team. At first I was a bit nervous if I made the right decision because there are so many attorneys out there that all say the same thing, that they’re the best. I had the opportunity to see Mark in practice today and i can tell you now, he is the REAL DEAL. If you need the best help for you and for your family, this is your guy. He doesn’t miss.
