Law Office of Mark A. Bridges 1110 Nuuanu Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96817

"Attorney Mark Bridges is among the most capable and talented criminal law litigation specialists in the country. His experience in the military legal system is unmatched. No attorney in this arena is better suited to protect the rights of a soldier facing criminal charges than the former Chief Judge of the US Army Trial Judiciary. Over the past 30 years, I have witnessed this attorney's superb litigation skills, sometimes as a colleague and sometimes as an adversary on the other side of the aisle. Always calm, confident and better prepared than anyone else in the courtroom, I cannot overstate his ability to achieve results for his clients. Colonel (Retired) Bridges has a distinct advantage over his criminal defense lawyer peers, in that he has served in every role: as a prosecutor, a trial defense counsel, a senior advisor at the Command level, as an appellate defense attorney and as a Military Judge. Simply put no other litigator in this field can compete with this level of expertise."

"Mark came highly recommended and we feel our family was very blessed to have met him. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional & we feel he went above and beyond for our situation. From our first meeting, he explained everything to us and was always very responsive when we had questions. He provided detailed information on our options and worked very hard to get the best result possible. We would certainly recommend Mark for any of your legal needs. Thank you so much for everything you did for our family, Mark! We will forever be grateful!"

"Went above and beyond for me as a lawyer. Was capable of doing everything he said he would do for me, and willing to always push for more even when it wasn’t necessary."

"Mr. Mark Bridges joined my defense team on a Board of Inquiry. Due to his knowledge, attention to the smallest details, and his aggressive representation on my case, not only was I retained but the board members findings specified that there had been no misconduct committed. With over 17 years of service in the military, retention was vital to me and his experience played a vital role. He went above and beyond to support me and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance no matter how big or small."

"After a lengthy, time-consuming, FREE initial consultation I hired COL(Ret) Mark Bridges to file an application with the Army Discharge Review Board to upgrade a discharge.  I’m so happy I did.  His work has been amazing.  Despite the differences in our time zones, he was very responsive.  And his years of service as an Army lawyer make him an expert in his field.  He immediately began employing those distinguishing attributes to my case. Mark understands the Army Discharge Review Board process and he raised every issue available in support of an upgrade.  He took the time to locate former military members and gather the evidence needed to support my appeal, along with interviewing witnesses, gathering letters of support, and reviewing Interactive Personnel Records Management System (iPERMS) and OMPF records.  I’m sure he spent more time on my case than his fee warranted.  Although it will be a while before I know the results, I feel confident that Mark put his "best foot forward” in arguing my case to the ADRB.  My 5-star rating is based on my observations of his work product, responsiveness, knowledge, and professionalism. More importantly, his continued deep respect and passion to support our "own" is second to none!"
