Sandra Kelly
Our company faced a high-stakes professional liability claim that threatened our reputation and financial stability. We engaged Mark Franco based on his deep experience and his recognition in the field. Over his 41-year career, he has developed a profound understanding of the Maine legal landscape, which was immediately evident. His strategic approach to our defense, drawing on his extensive background in both state and federal courts, was meticulous. He navigated the complexities of the malpractice allegations with a calm, assured demeanor that instilled confidence in our entire team. While his billing is commensurate with his expertise and the results he delivers, the detailed invoices can be dense, and clearer upfront summaries of anticipated costs would be helpful. That said, the outcome was excellent. Mark's advocacy led to a favorable settlement that protected our interests completely. He is a true professional and an asset to Drummond Woodsum.
