Mark Astor is the co-founder of Astor Simovitch Law, a firm dedicated to helping families in crisis when a loved one is struggling with substance use, mental health issues, or repeated recovery failures. With over 30 years of legal experience, Mark leads a trauma-informed practice that combines legal advocacy with clinical collaboration—supporting not only individuals in crisis but also empowering their families to heal.By working closely with clinicians and treatment centers, Mark fights for outcomes that respect dignity and prioritize long-term healing. For him, the legal system is more than a set of rules—it’s a lifeline that, when used with compassion and insight, can become a turning point for those stuck in cycles of crisis.
