About Mark Smith
Mark is one of the great-grandchilden of immigrants who came to this country for a better life. After many family members served our country in the military, they came home and went to work in the steel mills which line the rivers of the City of Pittsburgh. He learned from a very young age what real “hard work” is and feels like. Growing up in gritty steel towns gave him the gifts of perspective and humility. It also fostered a genuine dislike for bullies. These gifts are what drove him to become a lawyer and specifically a lawyer who helps injured people. He loves being able to stick up for them against corporate and insurance company bullies.
Mark worked his way through law school. He worked all day and went to school at night to Duquesne University School of Law. He was admitted to practice before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and has tried cases in many counties in Pennsylvania and the United States District Court for the Western District.
