I moved down from New York to South Carolina and felt the need to draw up a trust and update my will. I saw Mark's ad in a local tabloid and was impressed and reached out to him for a consultation. I realized that day that his expertise was above attorney I had met in New York. I sign with him immediately and after a few weeks of time he supplied me with a trust document that expressed all my needs and desires and a complete estate planning portfolio. I feel his fees are very fair for the quality, the time and the effort he put into my portfolio. When he quotes a price he sticks to it no matter how intricate the process may be. I have met and dealt with many attorneys during my professional career and had I thrown them in Long Island Sound not a whole lot of them would have floated to the top (If you know what I mean) I highly recommend Mark Winn.

After meeting 3 separate lawyers to help us with our trust set up, we chose Mark Winn due to his considerable 17 years of experience in estate planning and his transparent rate structure.  With Mark's experience,  he was able to give us many sample scenarios to help us think through reasonable options.  Particular strengths that spoke to us were his ability to explain the requirements for a complete complement of documents from the HIPAA release through to the trust and his ability to break down the documents to more understandable pieces for the layman without all the legal rhetoric.  Mark even drew pictures for us to emphasize the simplicity of his recommendations and how the structure would all work together.  Clearly Mark cares for his clients and went out of his way to put us at ease.  We are confident in Mark's knowledge and ability in estate planning, his compassion to listen, and his his commitment to do his very best for you.  My husband & I both highly recommend his services.

I have been a client of Mark Winn since 2006. He did a great job in setting up our estate plan and has worked with us over the years to amend area's at our request. He responds to question very quickly and most importantly he is knowledgeable, and very trustworthy. Most recently he helped re-due all my legal papers after the passing of my wife. He was very compassionate and respectful. I would highly recommend Mark Winn for handling all legal estate planning.

I have been associated with Mark since 2014 When he drew up our Trust's. He explained everything in understandable terms, was efficient in completing the Trust's and very reasonable with his fee. In 2017 when my wife passed he was of great help in settling her estate . He made it very easy for me to move along . Mark is very compassionate and I feel fortunate to have found not only an attorney, but a friend. In our world today it is indeed hard to find a person that says what he does and does what he says. Thank you Mark.

Four years ago my husband & I consulted with Mark F. Winn regarding our estate planning. When my husband suddenly died unexpectedly I was numb with shock & grief. I had jotted down the three items Mark had given us for the surviving spouse to do first: call funeral home, call Mark, keep track of expenses...simple & concise. Mark patiently, compassionately & professionally guided me thru every step of executing our estate planning portfolio. In short...Mark has been my rock. THANK YOU, Mark, for being there for me.

Mr. Winn definitely has a gift in the ability to present and explain each step of the process, and he took as much time needed to ensure that we each were in full understanding, as we progressed. I feel much more educated and organized in preparing for the future after finally moving forward and getting this accomplished. He was very comfortable and enjoyable to work with, and we highly recommend Mr. Winn!

Mark did a fabulous job organizing the execution of my prenuptial agreement, power of attorney, will and revocable trusts. I am recently engaged and Mark did a super job with a delicate situation. He did an excellent job of explaining some of the legal language. I would highly recommend Mark as he was easy to communicate with and did all of the above at a very fair price. Thanks Mark
