    WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

    “The nightmare of trying to help our child caught in the vicious spiral of drug addiction suddenly required the services of a knowledgeable attorney. Mark Astor not only surpassed that desperate need but he added the element of genuine concern for our family. Compassion and legal expertise are seldom found in one individual, but Mark is someone who has both and will work to tirelessly to help you during your time of need. I certainly hope you never need his help, but if you do, rest assured that you are in good hands.”
    Marc, Florida
    “Mark Astor is a life saver...literally! I'm so grateful for this firm. I live in NC and sent my son to a rehab in Florida. My greatest fear was that he would walk out and be missing several states away. The morning after he arrived, I received the call that he was indeed leaving. I called Drug and Alcohol Attorneys and asked them to explain my options. Mr. Astor was patient with me as I cried and probably wavered for a few hours before finally making the decision to file the Marchman Act. Mr. Astor was professional, yet very caring...”
