Overview

About Mark Randall Arend

I am a thrilled to be an attorney, and am even more excited to be representing clients in their legal matters and helping them achieve their goals.

Having been a long-time user of legal services in my personal, professional, and business life, I've learned that a good attorney can be a major asset to a client, especially when a client encounters some extremely difficult times and needs the attorney the most.

My personal life includes my wife, three kids, great friends, fun activities and some travel. As a former United States Air Force pilot (I flew fighters), we find ourselves around airports and airplanes now and then, too.

This is my "third" career. My first was military, my second was in business. So, if you're looking for an attorney that can offer you a tremendous amount of life experience, has common sense, an eye for keeping your costs reasonable, and a track record of achieving great results for clients by aggressive and responsible representation, I'd appreciate you thinking of me, and giving me a call.
