Approach

Business and employment disputes involve legal, practical, and emotional concerns that require thoughtful attention. Mark takes time to understand each client’s goals, dig deep into the law and facts, and figure out what really matters, so that he can work efficiently and effectively in pursuit of each client’s best interest. Whether arguing in court, writing briefs, or negotiating a settlement or employment contract, Mark advocates tenaciously for his clients and gives careful consideration to presenting their cases as clearly, credibly, and persuasively as possible.

Making a Difference

Since 2016, Mark has volunteered at the Eastern District of New York’s Federal Pro Se Legal Assistance Project, where he advises individuals representing themselves in federal civil cases on federal procedural issues. Mark’s past volunteer work includes pro bono representation in housing and appellate matters through the Legal Aid Society in New York and chairing the Federal Bar Council Public Service Committee’s Small Firm Subcommittee, which explored ways to increase pro bono and volunteer legal work among small firm lawyers.

Mark’s interests include running, the New York Jets (and more recently the Carolina Panthers as well), American history, and expanding his ever-growing knowledge of trivia. Mark and his wife Jackie have two daughters.
