And lastly, as one would suspect, Mark failed to disclose the misconduct set forth above on his self-serving website at www.rossmanlawpc.com. Apparently, he decided to conceal said relevant facts from prospective clients to prevent limiting his future victim pool.

As we speak (ca. September 2020), Mark practices his brand of law with Rossman PC at 2145 Crooks Road in Troy, Michigan.
