There was one reason I hired Mark Borns to represent me in my divorce – I needed the most skilled, experienced, strong attorney to protect my children and myself through the court system. I called another attorney and that attorney told me Mark Borns is who you need. Mark was all-of those things and very impressive going up against the opposing counsel. This was the scariest time in my life, especially with my children, and while no one wants to be in this position, I will forever be grateful for the skills and commitment he demonstrated. Jenny, Mark’s paralegal, was my emotional rock through the process. She gets it and kept fueling my confidence when I thought I couldn’t make it through this process. Today, we are thriving bigger than I ever imagined.

On first visit, met with attorney. Mollie Fellenz took the information needed to start the case. This law firm was suggested by a friend of mine, and I would suggest hiring them to my friends.
This review is in response to a review by Jen Jones. First I'll say that Mark was my attorney and not Jen Jones. I felt Mark was thorough and fair and definitely the opposite of any negative stereotype of lawyers that are popular today. Mark and his staff listened to me, got to know me and what was important to me. Mark Borns did an excellent job keeping my children's best interests in the forefront which is what I wanted. Therefore I can only give a strong recommendation for Borns Law. As for Jen Jones comments I do not recall what she is referring to. I have no idea of what she is referring to and disagree with her entire review.

If you are looking for an excellent, and a highly effective attorney to represent you for a Family Court matter, Mark Borns Is the attorney you want to work with.
I have worked with Mark for a couple family court matters where he worked quickly, efficiently, with great expertise to help achieve a favorable and fair outcome. During the proceedings, I always felt comfortable and confident that I was well represented. His thoroughness, and brilliance in the courtroom set him apart from his peers.
Having worked with Mark several times, I can confidently recommend him to take care of any legal matters you may have.

I had three lawyers prior to finding Mark. My first lawyer told me to settle for an ungodly amount. Fired. The second one wanted to fight. Not what I wanted and she would not listen. The third PLAYED games with the other attorney and with both sides and racked up the bill. I JUST WANTED TO FEEL FAIR AND PROTECTED. I feared my ex would file bankruptcy and I would loose not only my property but my payment too. This is where the last lawyer either did not know what to do or was playing games. MARK SOLVED ALL MY PROBLEMS IN ONE MEETING. It was done. I felt safe and it all worked out. He was the person I needed at a very difficult time in my life. I am so thankful for his honest, smart and professional help. It totally changed my life. You can trust Mark.

Mark Borns was not there for me when I needed him. He wasn't thorough during my proceedings and then wasn't willing to rectify the numerous times I asked to hire him again despite offering to do so in the past.

Mark Borns took over my divorce case from another attorney who was retiring. He hit the ground running on the case. Mark has a gift of staying cool under pressure, asking nicely the tough questions that need to be asked, and getting to the real issues and efficiently negotiating a fair settlement. My case was tough, that I thought was going to drag on forever, even after we went to mediation. Mark wasted no time in thinking of an innovative solution to the other side's demands, convincing them to negotiate and to take our offer, avoiding thousands of additional legal fees and costs. He and his staff are always busy, yet I always had an answer in a reasonable amount of time when I needed one. When faced with a divorce, you need someone who can look out for you, protect your assets, and get a fair settlement, so you can pick up the pieces and move on. Reality is, divorces can be hell, messy, and expensive. Mark Borns is the person you need on your side to guide you on what you need to do, what steps to take to protect yourself and your assets, and how to negotiate efficiently to get a fair settlement efficiently, saving your assets and thousands in legal expenses and fees. He also is very skilled in negotiating a fair placement for the children. If you are getting a divorce, Mark Borns is the first person you should contact. I originally thought I wouldn't need a lawyer, since my ex told me that she would divorce peacefully and we would be friends. What she really meant was she would not fight me as long as I saw everything her way and agreed to everything she wanted.I'm so glad that Mark was in my corner, was worth every penny of his fees. I would be in personal and financial ruin if it were not for his wisdom and guidance to see what really was going on. Greg Bartels

I highly recommend attorney Mark Borns to all my friends who need legal assistance. Mark helped me with my divorce a year ago and I was impressed with his professionalism and great service. It was a very difficult time for me and I was very financially challenged. I really appreciated the fact that he offered me to do certain tasks on my own so I can save money on attorney fees. He promptly responded to all my phone calls whether it required an immediate attention or not. It is without any hesitation I recommend Mark Borns to anyone who is looking for professional outstanding legal service.

I have been using Mark for almost 5 years during what turned out to be a somewhat complicated and protraced divorce process. (Not his doing. He diligently worked to keep it as short and as painless as possible.) He actually came recommended to me by 2 people -- not because he represented them but in both cases the individuals had to fight against him. He has always been prepared for the many hearings pre-, mid- and post- divorce. I am very surprised to read negative reviews. I understand family law can be an intense and emotional area but the negative reviews just don't compute with me. By the way, the one time I went against his advice on a particular financial matter I lived to regret it. His rate is well worth it, considering the quality. Excellent attorney.

Mark is very personable and I felt that he listened well to what I wanted in my divorce. I am inexperienced at legal language and I felt that I could ask him any question, no matter how trivial, and he would help me navigate through the documents and language. At the same time he is a professional and knows the system well. I slept soundly knowing he had so much experience in these matters. He minimized the stress that comes along with a divorce and everything went smoothly. He came highly recommended and I will highly recommend him to others. Lesa F.Guderyon

Mark Borns has been my all-purpose attorney for almost thirty years. He is always there for me when I need him and he has never overcharged me. I owned Four Star Video Heaven for about 18 years and he was my attorney the entire time. Although I have lived in New York City for about ten years now, he is still my personal attorney. Fortunately (as a gay man), I have never had to go through a divorce, but given my considerable experience with him outside his legal specialty, I can only assume he is the best divorce lawyer in town.

I hired Mark Borns law office to handle my divorce proceedings. I live up in Portage County and originally hired a divorce attorney near my local area with whom I had an extremely bad experience with. Her office was very unproffessional, unorganized, unprepared for court, etc. I knew I needed to hire a new attorney and not just any attorney but the best I could find in the state of Wisconsin regardless of how far I needed to travel. After much research, I found Mark Borns office in Madison, WI and after my first phone conferencce with him, I knew he was the attorney I needed all along. Mark and his office have worked diligently to unsort the mess my previous attorney left my divorce proceedings in.
Mark and his staff are extremely prompt in responses to phone calls, questions, emails, etc. Mark has been working with the same Paralegal, Jeannine, for 20+ years and it shows- they have created a system that allows for near painless navigation through the often complicated divorce process. I am always copied in on emails and/or sent copies of all communication (from my wife's lawyer, the court, etc.) which allows me to be kept in the loop of everything Mark's team is doing to get my divorce completed as quickly as possible. Mark is very conscientious that the longer a divorce is drawn out, the more expensive it is for all parties, which is why his team works so diligently to handle divorces using the quickest avenues possible. For the level of expertise, knowledge, and service you receive, Mark Borns Law Office has very reasonable pricing.
I told Mark when I first came to him and his office that I wanted to have an attorney that will work quickly to get my divorce proceedings over as quickly as possible and with the least amount of hard feelings for either my soon to be ex-wife or me, and Mark's team has accomplished exactly this. With my previous lawyer, I was often unable to sleep at night stressing over how the divorce was being handled, how long it would take, whether I would have regrets over the terms, etc. Immediately after hiring Mark, I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and began sleeping like a baby. Trusting your lawyer and having one as competent as Mark, makes all the difference in the world. I can't say enough about Mark and his team. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through a divorce proceeding or other complicated legal matters! I'm so grateful to have found such a professional, hard working, and competent team.

Attorney Mark Borns jealously represents his clients' interests, has an outstanding legal mind, and possesses tremendous compassion for his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone going through the difficult process of getting a divorce, in fact I have recommended him on countless occasions to both strangers and people I care deeply about. In addition, I have engaged Mark Borns' services myself to set up an LLC, an S Corp, and to consult with clients potentially facing a short sale, foreclosure, or personal bankruptcy. Mark is a wealth of knowledge and definitely my go-to guy for anyone seeking legal representation in the Madison Wisconsin area!
