Mark Burish describes Hurley Burish, S.C. as a “can-do” law firm. In his own practice, Mark helps clients achieve what they want to achieve without diverting focus. In some cases, law plays only a minor role in a solution. That is why Mark has developed an understanding of a wide variety of professional disciplines. Mark says, “I find that clients want more than legal advice, more than a line-item in their budget. They want a partner who goes beyond legal work to real problem solving. There’s always more to it than solving a legal problem (and) it’s often different than what the client believes the problem to be. That’s where the skill of listening comes in.”
