About Mark A. Tanner
"As a trial attorney, I believe it is critical to understand fully my clients' needs and why they have come to me for help. My extensive business background provides me with a unique insight into my clients' legal concerns, which often assists in developing cogent, multi-level strategies for resolving complex and challenging issues. In the event that we cannot resolve a problem without litigation, I make every effort to involve my clients in the entire process. I find that by keeping my clients informed and included in every aspect of a lawsuit, and not just the trial itself, we are able to present the most compelling possible case in the courtroom." Mark has successfully tried cases in New York and Massachusetts. As both a prosecutor and defense attorney, Mark has spent a great deal of his legal career in courtrooms, advocating for his clients before judges and juries.
