About Mark
Biography
If you've been denied Social Security disability benefits, I know how frustrating and overwhelming that experience can be. I've spent my entire career fighting for disabled individuals, and I'm here to help.
Before joining Berger and Green, I litigated Social Security disability cases across more than 30 states — giving me a level of experience that's difficult to match. I know how these cases are evaluated, where they go wrong, and what it takes to win. Every client I represent gets my full attention, honest communication, and genuine determination to get them the outcome they deserve.
I earned my Juris Doctor from Hofstra University School of Law, where I was awarded a legal fellowship representing clients who couldn't afford private counsel. That experience shaped the way I practice — I have always believed that everyone deserves strong, dedicated legal representation regardless of their circumstances.
I've been recognized as a Pennsylvania Super Lawyers Rising Star every year from 2021 through 2025, and I serve on the membership committee of NOSSCR, the nation's largest organization of attorneys advocating for disabled individuals.
If you're ready to fight for your benefits, I'm ready to fight alongside you.
Mark Malak has spent his career fighting for disabled individuals across the country. His extensive nationwide experience and genuine dedication to his clients set him apart from other Social Security disability attorneys.

Excellent lawyer!
Mr. Malak was a fantastic lawyer! He helped me win my difficult disability case. He gave me his cell phone number so I could get ahold of him if I had any questions or concerns along the way. I would recommend Mr. Malak to anyone needing this type of lawyer. Thank you Mark for everything!

Professional, compassionate, knowledgable
Mr. Malak is an outstanding attorney of great respect and passion. My husband is a vet and has been denied benefits two prior times.
