Mark Papazian - Emotional Connections in Contentious Divorce Cases


Mark Papazian is a longtime Troy, Michigan attorney who engages as litigation partner with Giarmarco, Mullins & Horton, P.C., a firm that includes 60 legal professionals and covers three dozen law practice areas. Known for his tenaciousness and ability to get results in commercial litigation and family law, Mark Papazian recently earned a feature in the Michigan edition of Leading Lawyers.

With an entrepreneurial background in the restaurant business, Mr. Papazian has a client list that includes several Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies. Approximately 75 percent of his cases deal with family law, and he has extensive experience in contentious divorce and custody battles. 

With those he counsels including the “rich and famous,” Mr. Papazian also represents many clients who do not have millions of dollars at their disposal and are involved in a legal action for the very first time. He describes these people as “scared, confused, and often angry.” 

A fellow attorney who has known him for more than 25 years describes the value of Mr. Papazian’s ability to create emotional connections with clients and their family members. The trust he generates ensures that clients listen to his advice and enables him to get down to the serious business of making reasoned legal decisions that can have lifelong repercussions.
