Experience has taught Mark to quickly identify client issues. Mark’s sense of fairness allows him to take only the clients he believes he can help.
Diplomacy
“Clients come to me with their troubles and I listen. Sometimes problems can be complex and emotionally charged, especially when the issue is elder care. Many times, just talking out the problem with an objective professional is helpful to clients.” —Mark Boykin
Listening to clients is the key to Mark’s process. Calmly exploring issues builds the needed consensus to go forward. When indicated, Mark aggressively pursues litigation through the courts to final judgement.
However, Mark also recognizes that an overwhelming majority of cases (more than 90 percent) are settled out of court in California. The benefits to the client are obvious: lower legal costs, more control over specific terms in the negotiated agreement, and—since the resolution of settled cases is generally not public record—privacy.
Mark is equally prepared to use his diplomatic skills to obtain the best possible outcome for the client whether it is through the courts or at the negotiation table.
Planning
Once Mark identifies the problem, he develops a plan of action. Each step is clearly outlined. There are no surprises. The length of time the case will take, projected cost, required client involvement, are all laid out and communicated to the client.
California law has very specific requirements and procedures for estate planning, administration, conservatorship, and ERISA. Mark makes sure clients are in complete compliance so their cases can move forward as quickly as the law allows.
Personal attention
“I answer my own phone. I respond to my own email. It’s important for my clients to know that when they need to reach me, I am here for them.” —Mark Boykin
Mark Boykin is a sole practitioner. This means clients can be sure that when Mark takes on a case, he commits to personally resolving it.
