What Our Clients Say
“I can’t thank Mark Amador enough. After several other lawyers told me my daughter’s CIF athletic eligibility case was nearly impossible, Mark stepped in with confidence, professionalism, and deep knowledge of CIF regulations. He guided us through every step with care and determination — and great news, my daughter has been granted eligibility. Truly outstanding work!”
