Who is MDK?

MDK was born in 2002 when Ted Manley and Brian Deas set out to create a default services law firm. With a little time, a lot of effort, and a huge amount of support, MDK has evolved to blend technology with legal know-how to become a comprehensive legal and professional services provider.

Who should hire MDK?

The answer: Almost any business looking for a range of legal services. While we continue to excel in the specialized areas of foreclosure and bankruptcy, we’ve evolved into a comprehensive legal and professional services provider that can help any business that requires repetitive activity and repeatable processes.

Today our offerings combine multiple services– legal guidance and representation, business analytics, development and application of proprietary technologies, reputation protection, education and training, and assistance with short- and long-term staffing.

Our purpose-built platform increases the speed with which we’re able to complete each stage of legal actions. We do great work fast, providing a level of comfort for your teams.
