MARK’S APPROACH TO LITIGATION
Strength Through Focus
As a talented trial lawyer, Mark Brown understands what is important to judges and juries, and every step he takes is carefully chosen with trial in mind. By focusing on what really matters and ignoring the ‘noise’ that other lawyers often create, Mark can better see the whole chessboard.
Mark knows that achieving the best possible results requires a lawyer who is tough and firm, but not one who lacks civility. Being “aggressive” doesn’t have to mean being abrasive. Mark believes it means being thoroughly prepared for trial -- and relentless in gathering all the evidence needed to present a compelling story to the jury.
Not only does this approach maximize his clients’ potential for success at trial, but it also provides more and better opportunities for them to resolve their disputes favorably and cost-effectively before trial.
Mark is a Strategist. An Investigator. An Interrogator. A Listener. A Thinker. A Counselor. A Storyteller. An Advocate.
