About Mark
Mark Burish describes Hurley, Burish & Stanton as a "can do" law firm. In his own practice, Mark focuses on helping clients get done what they want to get done – refusing to waste energy on ways their request can’t work. In some cases, law can play a minor role in a solution. It helps that Mark has developed an understanding of a wide variety of professional disciplines.
Professional satisfaction comes when Mark helps a client find the way to a win-win solution through an insight another lawyer may have overlooked. Even more satisfying is solving the problem behind the problem – when the real problem is different or deeper than the one they thought they had.
Mark has written articles on estate planning and business law for various business magazines and newsletters, and speaks frequently on estate planning to local business and social groups.
On helping clients –
"I find that clients want more than legal advice, more than a line item in their budget. They want a partner that goes beyond legal work to real problem-solving. My clients become friends."
On understanding –
"Reaching understanding is the major portion of success in working with clients. There’s always more to it than solving a legal problem. What are you trying to solve? It’s often different than what the client believes the problem to be. That’s where the skill of listening comes in."
