Mark prepares and responds to written discovery, drafts dispositive motions, and works closely with co-defendants, risk managers, and claims professionals to position cases for resolution or trial. His recent work includes defending a commercial client in a multi-vehicle accident with seven-figure demands and managing a response to a Stowers demand for a corporate insured.
