马克·陶菲克律师
马克 is a 肯塔基州 native, having lived and worked in the state the majority of his life. He is a licensed attorney in 肯塔基州 and 印第安纳州, and his focus is on trial work, including civil litigation and criminal defense. He has represented a wide variety of clients, and he is committed to putting his clients’ needs first.
“I like helping people. Most people don’t really understand the legal system, and they can be nervous and scared. I take that burden off their shoulders and put it onto mine. I try to reassure them.”
Since his internship for two 肯塔基州 State Senators while at the University of Louisville, 马克 has had an enduring passion for the law. His commitment to the legal system is his way of helping people and his community. In criminal or civil litigation, 马克 feels it is important to listen closely to his clients, answer all their questions, and explain their legal options. 马克 has learned from experience to treat every client as a respected individual and keep his clients informed every step of the way.
Litigation can be a very difficult and trying experience. 马克 is always in his client’s corner and advocates aggressively on their behalf. 马克 is able to make the right decisions to ensure that his clients have the best chance at success.
“我喜欢试验。. It’s the most lawyerly thing you can do. That’s when I feel like all the preparation and hard work pays off. I like being in the moment and reading the jury.”
马克 is a first-generation American. His parents emigrated here from Egypt with few possessions in the 1970s. 马克 is a lawyer and his brother is a doctor – both are pursuing the American Dream. 马克 credits his parents with having an enormous work ethic, which they passed on to their sons.
A Saint Xavier High School graduate, 马克 earned a B.A. in 政治科学 from the University of Louisville before receiving his J.D. from Ohio Northern University in 2014. After passing the 肯塔基州 Bar Exam in 2014, 马克 began work as a Public Defender for the State of 肯塔基州. 作为公设辩护律师, he was able to see firsthand how the legal process works, from a misdemeanor to a murder and everywhere in between.
马克 passed the 印第安纳州 Bar Exam in 2015 and accepted a position with Church, 兰登, Lopp, Banet Law shortly thereafter. He works very hard to advocate on behalf of his clients, yet he also tells it like it is and does not sugar-coat things when discussing a case with his client.
马克 is active in the community and loves giving back. He is involved with several civic organizations, including Harbor House of Louisville, the American Heart Association, and Downs Syndrome of Louisville. He is proud of his law firm and all of its charitable involvement. He especially enjoys the free Bicentennial Park Concert Series that his law firm sponsors throughout the summer months.
“There are food trucks, beer, friends and all genres of music from country to alternative. We all go and bring our kids, dogs and spouses. 这是一段美好的时光.”
马克 is an avid Bengals fan, loves going to Reds games and has to watch all UK basketball and football games. He usually hits the gym every day. 在他空闲的时候, 马克 enjoys life with his wife Lauren, his family and friends, and whatever sports are in season.
