Mark began his professional career as a corporate attorney, practicing business and corporate law for five years before joining the firm of Scanlon and Gearinger in 1981. He became a shareholder in 1986.
Mark has argued multiple cases before the Supreme Court of
Ohio. At Mitseff
v. Wheeler, he persuaded the Ohio Supreme Court to
change the law so that adults who served alcohol to minors
could be sued for injuries or deaths caused by those minors
to innocent third parties. At Schultz
v. Barberton Glass, he persuaded the Ohio Supreme
Court to change longstanding Ohio precedent so that persons
who suffered emotional or psychological injuries in automobile
accidents could recover for those injuries, even if they had
not been physically injured.
 In
1995 he authored a chapter, “Oral Deposition Taking”
in the handbook Civil Discovery Practice in Ohio. He
regularly is invited to speak at seminars for attorneys interested
in developing or improving their trial skills. Mark has tried
numerous personal injury cases, some of which can be found
in the “News”
section of our Web site.
