About Mark
Biography
Mark F. Itzkowitz, Esq. is a highly experienced and well respected trial attorney who protects the legal and Constitutional rights of Massachusetts residents in civil litigation, particularly in cases involving victims’ rights, sexual assault/rape, wrongful death, discrimination, and civil rights violations.
He was admitted to practice in Massachusetts in 1983 and in New York in 1984. Mark has a reputation for providing practical and compassionate legal advice in highly complex cases and has argued and/or participated in many cases before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, and state and federal trial and appellate courts.
Mark is a tenacious and competent trial litigator who has earned an AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review Rating by Martindale-Hubbell® for his high ethical standards and professional ability. He has been selected as one of Massachusetts Super Lawyers in 2007 and 2010-2021, a recognition given to only the top 5% of Massachusetts attorneys, and he has been named a Top Lawyer by Boston Magazine in 2021. He has written and lectured for attorneys, professional audiences, and non-professionals throughout the country.
Mark has successfully litigated and/or resolved complex cases for decades, often through trial, appeal, mediation, and/or negotiation with insurance carriers.
Traumatized and severely injured people rarely can afford to pay a lawyer. Understanding that, consultations are free and Mark accepts almost all of his cases on contingent fee–meaning that Mark only takes his fee if he is successful helping his client recover compensation.
