  Mark was great to work with. He helped me with a CRE deal I was investing in; helping me review the legal documents and taking the time to explain it to me in a way that was very easy to understand - and he was very responsive at all times. Would definitely recommend working with him

  I can't say enough about Mark .He came in and saved my aunt home from a predator. Mark carried the torch thru court to the final sale of my aunt's home. He dealt with the Insurance company after they were slow in making payments after a water leak to the home which was pending sale. This man has our upmost respect and appreciation. He signed up for something that became larger than life for my aunt. Thank you Mark for keeping us grounded during this time. Wishing nothing but the best for him and his firm.

This situation became huge!
Again Thank you!!

  I had a great experience working with Battleson Law.   Mark quickly understood the payment issue our construction firm was experiencing.   We received full payment from the Owner a few weeks after contacting Battleson Law.

  Mark is an extremely professional and diligent Attorney. He is also very knowledgeable in commercial lease matters and significantly helped us with negotiating a lease workout with our landlord. He advocates for his clients and we were completely satisfied with his high level of service. We would strongly recommend him.

  My husband and I are so glad we found Mark! He is an excellent attorney with tons of contract, business, and real estate knowledge and experience. He took the time to thoroughly advise and educate us about our situation. Trust me, he is worth every dollar! He saved us over $100k on a bad deal that we later discovered would have been financially devastating had we not hired Mark! Thank you again, Mark! We look forward to working with you again in the near future.

  Mark is a life-long friend and I reached out to him when our day-to-day attorney was having difficulty handling the complex sale of my family’s third-generation business.  The sale was to a large, private equity firm, with an operating partner that was rolling-up businesses in the auto repair space.  Just by reviewing the LOI, Mark immediately recognized holes in our deal that could have cost the family millions of dollars in:

lost lease/real estate value;
higher-risk earnout terms; and.
a lower overall return on the sale.

When we hired Mark, he jumped right in, created a strong relationship with the buyer and its counsel, as well as kept the family together during the stressful 6+ month process, including many late nights.  Ultimately, Mark re-worked the entire deal:

Asset Purchase Agreement (with complex, de-risked earn-out and equity participation);
Employment agreements for retained executives;
Non-competes, etc., and,
6 commercial leases on real estate owned by the Seller-principals and leased back to the new owner that added multiple millions of dollars of value.
Mark renegotiated economic and legal terms based on financial analysis he put together based on his past experience in institutional real estate investment and capital markets.

When it was all concluded, we couldn’t have been happier, and even the Buyer’s President specifically complimented Mark during the closing/funding call, indicating that he deserved special recognition for keeping the deal on track, when at times it looked like it might not close.

Best business decision we made was hiring Mark to represent us!  Couldn't have been happier with the outcome!

Thank you for all that you did, Mark!

  I started a business and needed an attorney but I had not used one before. I chose Mark because of his great reviews on multiple websites and I'm glad I did. He walked me through the entire process, made sure I didn't make any mistakes, and explained everything in plain English. Thank you Mark!

  I brought Mark into my lawsuit late in the game. He stayed on top of me to get the information he needed, worked with me to make me a better witness, stayed organized and fluid, and kept going until we won. Mark is a master at his craft. Hiring him really was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It was the other reviews and my consultation with him that won my trust. It was one of those gut feeling things. I am the owner of a new company and he will represent all my future needs. Thank you Mark. Job well done.
