Professional path
For more than 30 years
Mark represented doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers in complex medical-malpractice matters. That work required a close understanding of medical records, expert opinions, institutional decision-making, and the defenses likely to be raised in a claim.
For the past 7 years
His plaintiff-side work has focused on helping people and families examine whether a preventable medical error caused serious harm. It adds a practical understanding of how these cases are prepared, explained, and litigated on behalf of injured patients.
A measured review
Careful review begins with what happened, what the medical records show, and the questions that still need answers.
Not every poor outcome is malpractice. A direct conversation about the facts is more useful than a promise.
Knowing how institutions and insurers evaluate a case can inform a more focused strategy from the beginning.
A thoughtful place to begin
If you or a family member has been harmed after medical care, a confidential conversation can help you understand what information may matter and what the next steps could look like.
