About:
I was born and raised in NJ. graduating Emory Law School, Atlanta Georgia in 1978. I was a Governor's Intern assigned to the Union County Prosecutor in 1977 while in Law School and became an Assistant Prosecutor there,1980-83. I was assigned to the Appellate Section, Juvenile Section, Assignment Judge's Trial Team, Elizabeth Project Trial Team, and the Narcotic Strike Force, handling over 300 files and trying 28 case to verdict. I learned how the police and prosecutors think and act. I have only practiced criminal defense since leaving the Prosecutor's Office, first as a partner at Nassberg & Cheser 1983-1988, and then a solo practitioner from 1988- to the present, altogether 35 years. The N.J.Supreme Court designated me a Certified Criminal Trial Attorney in 1989, a distinction held by less than 1% of the bar. The Supreme Court has reissued this certification four times through to the present. I was named Master of the Richard Hughes Inn of Court, the highest designation of that organization, an association of trial attorneys and Judges. Super Lawyer magazine has listed me numerous times. All of these entities can be contacted to verify the status and method of awarding recognition. I have handled cases from murder to speeding and have represented thousands of clients. I have appeared in nearly all the Municipal and Superior Courts of N.J. as well as the Federal District Court of N.J. I handle all cases in the office personally. My office philosophy is to prepare and argue every case, no matter how minor the charge, as if it is a homicide. I always attempt to resolve matters with the least risk to my clients at the lowest cost possible. The aim in every case is dismissal or acquittal. I hate to lose.

"Very honest and respectable lawyer. I had a couple point ticket here in town and I talked to a few different lawyers and they tried to charge me $1000 and I called Mark and he told me that I didn’t need a lawyer, and that I can do this on my own, just by talking to the prosecutor, which is exactly what happened And I just wanted to give him a great review for being an Honest Lawyer, and didn’t just take my money. I definitely recommend his services to anyone who needs them. He is Strait shooter."

"Mark has been my attorney for over 25 years. He has helped me numerous times from things ranging from traffic tickets to suspensions to criminal representation. Every single time the outcome was far better than i could have hoped for. I have recommended him to at least 6 different friends who have used him and have nothing but great things to say. He is the premier DWI attorney in NJ."

"I just want to post here to say thank you to this special Attorney. We are new to NJ and this attorney offered free advice on his own time, regarding local municipal court. Not to mention he is a fantastic conversationalist. Small NJ towns are not like the zoo that New York is. Following his sound advice the case was downgraded and a fee was issued. I have worked with dozens of attorneys and have been in the courtroom many times over corporate matters, these kinds of attorneys are rare. Thank you Mr Cheser!"

"He gave me excellent advice, explained everything, and I knew exactly what to do regarding a case. I had read all of his Avvo contributions and reviews. Mark truly is the real deal. Any cases, I would mostly definitely recommend him. His knowledge, experience, and genuine desire to help the people is unrivaled."
