Interview conducted by Tom Dyson and Christian Hill for The Palm Beach Letter on May 6th, 2011

Tom: How do I find a good lawyer?

Mark: Is that a trick question?

Tom: No!

Mark: Well, let me ask you something. What do you call a good lawyer who’s gone bad?

Tom: What?

Mark: Senator.

Tom: But seriously…

Mark: No seriously, what do you call 5,000 dead lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?

Tom: A good start?

Mark: Okay, I’ll be serious now. A good lawyer is someone who doesn’t charge much.

Tom: That doesn’t sound like a serious answer.

Mark: But it is. What most people don’t understand about lawyers is that their primary business is billing you for all you are worth.

Tom: That’s pretty cynical.

Mark: Let me tell you a story.
