Mark Casto

Trial lawyer Mark Casto founded Mark Casto Personal Injury Law Firm to represent individuals or families who have been injured or suffered the loss of a loved one due to a third party's negligence. His practice is focused on civil litigation cases involving medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, employment discrimination, tractor-trailer crashes, automobile accidents, product liability, premises liability and insurance bad faith. Renowned for his zealous advocacy, the Columbus community has voted Mr. Casto as the winner of the Readers' Choice Award in the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer newspaper. Mr. Casto's legal career started at the District Attorney's office, where he worked on prosecuting child victim crimes and various other cases. With an astounding success rate, he served as the lead prosecutor in more than 50 jury trials before Georgia's Superior Courts. For almost five years, he worked as a lone attorney, developing substantial experience in representing personal injury victims. He also handled many criminal defense matters, including the successful trial defense of a murder suspect. Furthermore, he handled complex contested divorce cases, and all these experiences added up to enhance his litigation skills in the courtroom. One of the founding partners of The Law Office of Bennett and Casto in January 2006, Mr. Casto left to establish his solo practice, Mark Casto Personal Injury Law Firm, in April 2016. He holds on to the firm belief of not filing a medical malpractice claim against doctors, since they take care of his clients in personal injury and workers' compensation cases. Instead, he sues other negligent parties such as the hospital, insurers and health care providers. Having handled several appeal cases, Mr. Casto has often appeared before the Georgia Supreme Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals. One of his personal achievements is never losing an appeal when arguing motions in person before the appellate judges. Throughout his legal career, he has tried cases across the states of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and New Jersey. Graduating with honors from Western Carolina University in 1991 with a B.S. in sports management, Mr. Casto earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Akron School of Law in Ohio in 1996. During law school, he won The Best Advocate award at the Academy of Trial Lawyers Moot Court Competition in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
