Attorney Astor is truly understanding and compassionate towards people who have made mistakes or have gone through a difficult time in their life. He honestly feels that everyone deserves a second chance, and that fair representation should be available to all people.

In June of 2016, Attorney Mark Astor represented me at a hearing in Orlando (by phone) in a case where I was seeking eligibility to obtain a real estate license in the State of Florida. To be approved for a license in this profession, you must be fingerprinted and background checked. When prior convictions of drug charges came up on my background check, I was asked to appear at a hearing in Orlando in front of the Board for the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC), which is a division of the Department of Professional Regulations (DBPR). Thanks to Attorney Astor and his knowledge of my history and his dedication, I won my case by a unanimous decision from the Board. This is not an easy task. He was amazing. He is thorough, detailed and extremely professional. He won over the entire Board before I even spoke for myself. After the hearing, 2 people asked me privately for his number.

I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who has a drug, alcohol or criminal related charge (or charges) they are looking to be represented for. He will truly fight for you.

Mr. Astor made us feel that he was representing one of his own family members. He has superior speaking and writing skills, which were extremely beneficial to our case. Mr. Astor is someone who first listens, then thoroughly and objectively considers all the evidence before making a decision. He would always consult with us before moving forward. His maturity of character, personal convictions and dedication were well reflected in his service. We felt he always put our wellbeing before himself, in order to accomplish what was right and true. He not only read and researched the evidence of our case, but researched other similar cases.
I am an anxious person and sometimes referred to as a relentless person, but Mr. Astor never made me feel that I was either bothering or badgering him. He almost always answered our phone calls and if not, he was always very quick to respond. He made himself available during times that most would consider after hours. He was always thorough and patient in explaining the status, details and development of our case. Mr. Astor made this stressful time much easier for us, with his patience and guidance.
To be honest, we never expected a lawyer to go as above and beyond as Mr. Astor did. You can rest assured that if we are ever in need of legal assistance again, we will be calling Mr. Astor, and if we know anyone who needs any legal assistance, we will refer Mr. Astor.
Thank you so much for all your help, support, guidance, caring, professional expertise and knowledge.....we really do not know how we could have made it through and or settled matters without you.
