PERSONAL SERVICE TO CLIENTS

Mark Hansen is a graduate of the J.Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University, where he served as editor-in-chief of the Law Review and graduated in the top five percent of his class. He has 35 years of experience handling litigation in state and federal courts throughout California.

He learned how to be a lawyer at Luce Forward Hamilton & Scripps, working six years as an associate and then 18 years as a partner. Mark was the editor of California Litigation from 1989-91. After three years on the Executive Committe, he was Chair of the California State Bar's Litigation Section from 1994-95. Martindale-Hubbell has recognized Mark as an "A-V" rated lawyer since 1995. In 2008 he founded the Law Office of Mark W. Hansen. Mark has been peer-selected to the Southern California "Super Lawyers" list every year since 2010.

Mark brings vast experience to the table. His 24 years at Luce Forward gave him a wealth of large firm knowledge and experience in all types of litigation. The owner of his own firm since 2008, Mark gives clients direct "hands-on" service that simply isn't feasible within the structure of a large firm, where much of the work must be delegated to young associates.
