Attorney Mark Fiddler has dedicated his career to protecting children and families.
He has served as:
- Private practice attorney for adoptive families

Testimonials
If you are thinking you need the BEST attorney possibly, my husband and I could not recommend anyone better than this one! Mr. Fiddler and his paralegal have moved MOUNTAINS to help us adopt our beautiful children before Christmas. We are forever grateful for their wisdom, kindness, and amazing attention to details.
The Homan Family
When everyone told us we had no chance, Mark Fiddler stepped in and chose to fight for us, standing beside our family when it mattered most. We’ll never be able to fully put into words what he’s meant to us—he’s incredibly knowledgeable, sharp, and never intimidated, and he didn’t just represent us, he stood with us and fought for our foster child with dedication, honesty, and heart; if you want someone who truly listens, tells the truth, and refuses to back down when everything is on the line, he’s the one you call.
