      Mark is an exceptional attorney for family law. He understands the process so that it minimizes the discord that can last for years. He uses mediation and collaboration to work towards solutions that work for all the parties involved. Divorce is one of the most difficult processes for the parties - including the children.

      "I will be reaching out to Mark in the future for guidance before heading down the road of a contentious situation and to build my own skills to avoid disputes by using different skills."

      Finally! Principled, proven for dealing with a difficult situation or challenging business negotiation without being adversarial and confrontational. I was in the midst of a many-month business dispute that was getting dangerously close to both sides "lawyering up." I reached out to Mark prior to the final meeting before turning the lawyers loose. His advise and counsel resulted in a calm, constructive meeting, a better outcome than I would have dared hope, and the other side and I restored our positive relationship. I wouldn't have believed it and I am so glad I reached out to Mark, listened to his advice, and had the courage to use his advice. I will be reaching out to Mark in the future for guidance before heading down the road of a contentious situation and to build my own skills to avoid disputes by using different skills. This will allow me to focus on my business, growth, and not being distracted by prolonged, draining disputes.

      "Mark has a natural ability to understand each person's desires and the emotions that are driving those desires, and then help to mediate to a common ground."

      My fiancé and I hired Mark to mediate our prenuptial agreement. He helped us develop the agreement together from the very start. Mark has a natural ability to understand each person's desires and the emotions that are driving those desires, and then help to mediate to a common ground. Both my fiancé and I left Mark's office feeling GOOD after having spent many hours discussing topics that were by nature very emotionally charged. Despite best intentions, trying to develop a prenuptial agreement with lawyers from the start, ultimately leads to one or both parties feeling angry, sad, or unhappy about prospects for the future. This happens because each person is naturally only looking out for his/her best interests. Making a different choice - to develop the agreement together with your partner in mediation will set you up for a successful process. I highly recommend Mark; his process works.

      I'm glad Mark was my divorce lawyer thru my mediation. He guided me thru this difficult and confusing time in my life, and let me set things at my own pace. Mark was kind, considerate, and understanding throughout the whole process. I have the utmost faith that with Mark as my counsel we had reached the best outcome for me, my kids, and for my ex as well. I could exhale a sigh of relief that in the end, everything came out okay, and I couldn't have done it without Mark. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who needs help with divorce/mediation.

      "The experience I had going through the process taught me a lot. I now feel I have some knowledge about the divorce process."

      I highly recommend Mark Baer. He worked closely with me through out my entire divorce case guiding me on all my questions so that I could make the best decision I would benefit from. The experience I had going through the process taught me a lot. I now feel I have some knowledge about the divorce process. I was extremely happy with my settlement as had I done it myself without the aid of Mark, I don't believe I would have come away with the kind of settlement I received. Anytime I had a question, Mark would always return my call promptly with an answer and I had a lot of questions. Going through a divorce is difficult so having Mark guide me through the entire process from start to finish helped a lot. Even though my divorce has now been finalized, the process in my case took approximately 2 years, Mark still calls me to be certain my ex husband is sending his payments and also to see how I am doing, which means a lot and says a lot about Mark's integrity.

      "His emphasis in family law is to create the most beneficial outcome for all parties concerned, not make the most money."

      Mark B. Baer is one of the few attorneys I can say that I trust unequivocally. His emphasis in family law is to create the most beneficial outcome for all parties concerned, not make the most money. If you want to learn about Mark's competence, look up the awards he's won, the articles he's published, and the high profile organizations who have asked him to speak. This is an attorney who will fight hard for you while doing every thing in his power to maintain amicable family relations. If I or anyone in my family needed a family law attorney, Mark is the first person I would call. I recommend him highly.

      "Deciding to go to Mark for mediation made my divorce a completely different experience than I anticipated."

      Deciding to go to Mark for mediation made my divorce a completely different experience than I anticipated. Mark's style and expertise brought fairness, integrity, and clarity to a very thorough process. Mediation with Mark allowed us to make informed decisions we were unable to negotiate alone. We were able sort through the details in a dignified manner and walk away with a more peaceful sense of closure. And the most powerful and crucial element for me was his ability to direct our energies towards empathy for one another, which made all the difference. I am a huge advocate now for mediation and highly recommend Mark for such services.

      "He also was very thorough and patient when explaining (sometimes multiple times) various elements of family law and certain legal language."

      I highly recommend Mark and his services! My fiancé and I were referred to him when our path to a pre-nuptial agreement started becoming contentious. Having Mark as our mediator truly improved the situation, enabling us to work through hot button issues and reach consensus. He also was very thorough and patient when explaining (sometimes multiple times) various elements of family law and certain legal language. I appreciate all of the time and care that he took to hand-hold us through what is a very complex and emotional process. Thank you, Mark, for all of your expertise, guidance and support!
