Mark J McGowan Law Offices PC - Palm Desert (CA)

5 /5 Mallory: Mark to the rescue!!! Not only did he call me back the same day, he listened and asked questions to ensure no detail was left out during our consultation! He helped me with a Real Estate issue and made everything easy to navigate successfully. Highly recommend Mark. Great service still exists!

1 /5 Aran Kirschenmann: I retained Mark McGowan for a prenuptial agreement and paid a $1,750 retainer. Over the course of the engagement, he failed to make any of the edits we discussed in our meetings, advised me to revise the agreement myself at home, and even suggested signing the prenup on the same day we finalized it, something that would have invalidated the entire agreement under California law had I not caught the error myself. Even more alarming: he printed my draft on the backs of highly confidential documents from other clients (which included trusts and wills, personal financial information, and clients home addresses) which he suggested I bring home with me. This raises serious concerns about how he handles privileged information. When I raised these issues, he dismissed them and demanded over $4,000 in additional fees. Now, he refuses to certify the agreement at all, effectively invalidating the document and wasting months of effort and expense. I cannot recommend this attorney to anyone seeking competent, ethical, or reliable legal representation.

5 /5 Alan R. Pollock: Mark was very kind to interrupt his day for a consultation, which is rare in this business climate. I found him knowledgeable and able to educate me on my questions. I enjoyed his courtesy and professionalism extended during our visit. I after our meeting, felt Mark is a Gentleman that will be direct, forthright and not leave one in question of his intensions to assist his clients. Regards, Alan

1 /5 Alex Stevens: After I paid a $1,750 retainer, Mark McGowan demanded $4,000 more to sign off on a document I personally revised due to his lack of involvement. Without his certification, the agreement cannot be used, effectively holding it hostage after months of work. This conduct raises serious ethical and professional concerns and demonstrates a clear misuse of the attorney-client relationship. Do not choose him as your lawyer.

5 /5 John Gromala: I was behind on my due diligence for a Real Estate transaction and since I was new to the area I contacted 2 lawyers from Google and spoke live to their admin that I need immediate assistance. 3 days later neither of them ever returned my call so now being even more behind a local friend suggested I reach out to Mark. Luckily Mark replied the same day and quickly reviewed my Purchase Agreement. I appreciated that he understood my sense of urgency yet still provided a through reply with confidence and professionalism. I will certainly use Mark again and suggest you do. Sincerely - John
