Mark D. Speed is a competent, confident, caring and likeable advocate for his clients. Litigation is typically a very contentious and emotional process. At those times, it is best to have an attorney at your side whom you trust and respect, who’s intelligent and experienced, and who understands you, your case and what’s at stake for you and/or your business.
In addition, you do not want the litigation to become a war of attorneys’ egos. To achieve the best results in your dispute, you want an attorney who’s not only respected by the adversary, but also considered approachable — so that when settlement is possible, optimal terms are reached for your interests.
Mark D. Speed is that attorney.
