Mark Babbs is more than just an attorney—he is a true advocate, a compassionate listener, and someone who saved my life in ways I never thought possible. Mark stood by my side during one of the darkest chapters of my life, advocating for me as I sought justice after over a year of sexual abuse by a mentor I had trusted. This person had appeared to offer me love and support, especially after my cousin abused me in a similar way months earlier. My mentor knew about that abuse and used it to manipulate me, pretending to be my refuge while exploiting my vulnerability for his own pleasure.

At the time, my world had already crumbled. My parents divorced, leaving me homeless, sleeping in a cold, crammed car with my knees tucked to my chest. My mentor invited me into his home, and my mom, desperate for me to be happy, dropped me off in the middle of the night, hoping this could somehow be a fresh start. She had a crush on him, unaware I was being threatened in silence, and forced to pretend everything was fine. For years, I lived in fear, numbing myself and running from the truth.

Mark was the first person who truly noticed my pain and stood by me, even when I didn’t have the strength to keep fighting. His presence gave me the courage to face what I had denied for so long. He helped me seek justice, not just legally but emotionally, and he gave me the strength to keep going when everything felt too heavy to bear.

Mark’s compassion and respect for me, even in my darkest moments, have changed my life. He helped me write my victim impact statement, sitting with me through the most difficult emotions I’ve ever had to face. His belief in me gave me the courage to speak my truth and begin to heal.

Though I still struggle and the weight of it all fluctuates, knowing there are people like Mark fighting alongside me makes it less heavy. I am forever grateful for his care, his advocacy, and his relentless pursuit of justice on my behalf. Mark showed me what it means to be loved and respected unconditionally, and I will never forget the role he played in my journey.

If you’re looking for an attorney who doesn’t just fight for you but truly fights with you, Mark Babbs is that person. He saved my life, and I will always hold deep gratitude and love for him.
