Law Offices Of I Mark Bledstein

Amazing attorney. My brother was in serious legal trouble and Mark was able to solve the situation and allow my brother to not serve any jail time or face stiff fines. He was able to resolve the situation very favorably and for a VERY reasonable price. Though I hope to not need an attorney again I will definitely look to Mark for assistance in the future if I need to. Thank you Mark

I had a petty theft case what I do for a living would not allow me to keep my job and I need help desperately I have wasted money on another lawyer then I was blessed to get in contact mark he was remarkable in the courtroom he got my case dismissed it was such a charmer with the DA he works with me on the price unlike my experience with my old employer that just wanted money mark actually cared about my life and what was going on he is amazing I would give him my money again and again people of America you need Mark in your corner

Wow, I don’t even know where to start with these guys.
In August of 2010 I was charged with something that would have more or less destroyed my entire life — as to not get into too much detail lets just say it was an unjust situation.
My grandfather Norman Sepenuk (also a criminal defense attorney) did a very comprehensive search/​interview process with several law offices in the southern California area and right away felt most comfortable with Mark Bledstein’s office.
Adam Koppekin was my attorney for this case and he did a phenomenal job from start to finish. The case ended up going three full days in trial — Adam’s ability to connect with me on an emotional level and translate my points/​feelings to the judge in a professional manner was truly remarkable. Not to mention his courtroom performance and demeanor was topnotch.
We ended up winning the case (not a scratch on my record). I am now a college graduate and have a great job in Irvine, all made possible because of Adam and Mark.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

A couple years ago, when those pesky red light cameras still worked, i managed to run one and i found quite the hefty fine in my mailbox.
The circumstances were very absurd and would have required my mother to fly from FL to appear in court to attempt to try and clear up the situation.
Thankfully Adam Koppekin appeared in court for the both of us and got the entire conundrum thrown away. At this point in time it would have seriously affected my well being and possibly even forced me to move back to FL.
If I ever have any need for an attorney ever again (hopefully i do not)… you can bet i will be calling Adam. I am eternally grateful.

Unfortunately lawyers are often vilified. This was definitely not the case with I Mark Bledstein. I worked with an attorney at this firm named, Adam Koppekin. I had a ticket that resulted in my license being suspended for a non-​traffic violation. He was amazing with following up with the judge in my case, he attended court on my behalf and he went above and beyond to advocate for me. He was very diligent, professional and courteous. I highly recommend this firm for any and all legal matters.

I do not have enough words to thank Mark and Adam for all the hard work they put into my case. I would definitely recommend them to everyone who needs difficult legal help.

Well i just read these reviews and was simply taken aback with such nonsense!!! I myself have hired him 3 different times and every time with a good outcome. I have recommended him to many people as well just to be told thank you later by such a great job he’s done. And let me tell you i have a record from hell and he always managed to get me the lowest deal. Now I understand as I’m sure «common sense would tell you“that he can’t be at a bunch of places all at once so naturally someone has to cover. But regardless of the case he has always been good with me and contrary to kody I’ve always got my documents emailed to me upon request so all this hoopla just sounds like a bitter person who’s probably spoiled and didn’t get everything the way he wanted it! But rest assured he is a very well respected and known attorney all over the courts and very good at what he does!!! Thank you mark and hopefully i don’t have to ever use u again.

Mark Bledstein is the worst attorney that I’ve ever hired. I wasted thousands of dollars on this attorney. He seemed more interested in getting the money than handling the case. He repeatedly pissed off the Judge by not being on time, not being ready, using the wrong terms and asking for to many continuances. I would never hire this attorney again and I would never recommend him to anyone. You might also be interested in reading the article about Mark Bleidstein’s law practice at
which was written by one of his former clients.

Oh, Mark Bledstein. The worst $ 15,000 I ever spent. To think, I could have spent that money on something far less useless, like a small fleet of golf carts to have a destruction derby match, and then gone with the public defender and still had a better outcome to my case than Mark Bledstein’s office would have gotten me.
This review is particularly for Adam Koppekin an attorney in Mark’s office, who’s complete and utter lack of regard for keeping me informed in the process left me literally standing in the courtroom with no representation and no idea why.
After the beginning of my case, I was very upset and worried and didn’t know who to go to. A random internet friend recommended Adam, who I only knew as a very shady guy from some mutual acquaintances. That should have been the end of it, but I didn’t know any lawyers and I wasn’t getting great advice at that stage of the game, so I went in anyways. His complete pessimism without really reviewing the case should have been another red flag, but he quoted me $ 15,000 as a «discounted rate» (I later got in touch with the lawyer who litigates for the NRA who offered to do it for the same price, although by that time I’d already spent the $ 15,000).
So horray, Adam was my lawyer. He started by delaying the proceedings. Again and again and again. For over a year he delayed the process for a variety of reasons. he actually appeared in the courthouse a grand total of three times, whereas I went to court faithfully every month. I can understand sending a substitute attorney, but he sent an immigration attorney with no experience in criminal law whatsoever who was reading off a script multiple times. She was very nice, but admitted to having «no idea what to do» in the event the judge didn’t grant the perpetual extensions. The only advice I got from Mark Bledsteins’s office was «just show up to court» and that they’d handle the rest.
It later became apparent that everyone in the courthouse hated him and his behavior. The DA was completely unwilling to deal with him, he irritated the judge, and what should have been a misdemeanor remained charged as a felony. I had no idea where we were in the process, and was shocked when he recommended I take the first deal the DA offered– a year in prison. He suggested, and I’m not making this up, «Maybe you’ll find someone you like in prison.» YEAH PRISON RAPE SOUNDS FUN THANKS ADAM. He expressed mild curiosity in me letting him know how long it would take to get out.
It was around this time he became aware that the stop I’d been arrested from may have been an illegal search. In spite of that, he avoided running a suppression motion to «avoid pissing off the judge and DA.» I’d been pulled over while doing nothing illegal whatsoever, searched without my consent, and questioned without a lawyer or being read my miranda rights. Seems like that may be kind of a big deal, but Adam didn’t want to make anyone mad, so we never ran the motion. Then, without preparing me at all, we did the preliminary hearing which was a total surprise to me. The judge overruled almost all of his very few objections and motions. He left reassuring me not to worry and just to show up to my next court date.
So I did, and he wasn’t there. Instead another attorney was, who told me he was there to tell the court Adam no longer represented me. Unbeknownst to me since no one told me where in the process we were, he was only representing me through the preliminary stages which were now done, and had now dipped out and left me unrepresented. I was now in court with no representation at all. When I came in to discuss this, Mark acted very concerned, and asked for another $ 10,000. Since I no longer had that, it seemed like my options was to write off $ 15,000 as totally useless and get a public defender.
The public defender got me community service. Adam recommended I take a year in prison. COMMUNITY SERVICE. $ 15,000. A year in prison. Seriously?
This review was previously deleted because apparently Adam and Marc didn’t like me mentioning some of the personal misconduct Adam engaged in before and during the case, so I’ll leave that up to your imagination. But after losing $ 15,000 to these people who never took my case seriously or put in a fraction of the effort the public defender did, I will edit and re-​write this review as many times as I have to every single day until I make sure other people know and don’t get caught in the same trap. They prey on people who are scared and don’t know any better, and I’m not scared anymore.
Since I didn’t take your deal and I didn’t go to prison for a year, I can re-​write this review all day, every day.
And to you, Unilocaler, I say only this: Run.

This attorney is unethical. He doesn’t make appearances for his clients and sends other attorneys to make his appearances. He doesn’t return phone calls and forget knowing what is going on with a case because this looser will not keep you updated. You are better off with a PD. Don’t waist your money.
