If you’re facing criminal charges or a complaint against your professional license, the decisions you make early on matter. You need an attorney who understands what is at stake and knows how to take action.
I’ve spent 17 years advocating for people in criminal court and defending licensed professionals before regulatory boards. I provide focused, strategic representation to protect your rights, your career, and your future.
From our first conversation, I’ll assess the situation, explain your options, and give you a clear path forward.
Two areas of practice. One clear purpose.
Protecting what matters.
Professional License
All types of licensed professionals including:
- Physicians
- Nurses
- Mental health professionals
- Realtors
- Architects
- Funeral directors
Sometimes the two collide.
You may need help with a criminal case, a licensing matter, or both.
I help you protect what’s at stake on both fronts.
Because coordinated representation matters.
About Mark
I’ve spent my career standing up for people when the stakes are high.
I am a trial attorney. I began developing this craft as a Public Defender representing hundreds of clients at the most vulnerable and challenging moments of their lives. I learned how to litigate high-stakes cases, navigate complex matters with precision, and earn the trust that exceptional advocacy requires.
I continued to enhance these skills in private practice and later served as an Assistant Attorney General advising professional regulatory boards. Today, I bring those experiences together at Blechman Law.
Client advocacy is paramount. I handle your case personally, take your concerns seriously, and tailor our approach to meet your goals. My priority is to advise you with the information and perspective you need to make informed decisions about your case.
The way I practice is simple:
I listen. I speak frankly. I advocate.
Why Work With Me?
-
Trial-Tested Experience
I’ve taken more than 50 cases to trial. While most cases settle through a plea agreement, I am prepared to defend you before a jury.
-
Experience on Both Sides
As a defense attorney, I’ve advocated for clients in criminal and administrative courts. Additionally, as an Assistant Attorney General I’ve advised professional licensing boards, which gives me a unique perspective most attorneys don’t have.

Personal Representation
When you hire me, you work directly with me. I handle your case personally, take your concerns seriously, and build a strategy around your situation.
