Biography

Mark has had success trying Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) jury cases against his railroad clients in jurisdictions across the country. He is recognized for his knowledge of the liability and medical issues involved in asbestos exposure cases.

Mark has been involved in cases and trials in Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan and Wisconsin. In addition to the many cases and trial involving toxic exposure, Mark has a general litigation defense practice on behalf of railroads, corporations and insurers.
