Mark D. Bratt – of The Bratt Law Firm – launched his Los Angeles / Culver City-based firm with a simple goal to help individuals and their families seek justice when they have been wrongfully harmed. He has worked on hundreds of complex injury and terminal cancer cases throughout the country, with a primary focus on exposures to asbestos (mesothelioma + lung cancer), chemicals, products liability, and accidents causing catastrophic injuries. Taking a heart-lead and hands-on approach, Mark always strives to make a real difference in each client’s life while guiding them through challenging and uncertain times.
Mark has tried dozens of jury trials – winning over $150 million in verdicts and settlements for his clients. He has been honored with several awards for his trial work and notable results, including a 2018 nomination as the Los Angeles “Trial Lawyer of the Year” (CAALA), the National Trial Lawyers “Top 100 Trial Lawyers” and “Top 40 Under 40” (2014), as well as being recognized as a Los Angeles Super Lawyer’s “Rising Star” (2015-2019) and an “Up-and-Coming 100” Lawyer in Southern California (2015-2017). He is a current member of Justice HQ, CAALA, CAOC, and AAJ.
Outside of the courtroom, he regularly volunteers his time to mentor and train law students, paralegals, and lawyers on effective litigation tactics through lectures, workshops, and mock trials (Harris Martin, PALS, Perrin). His recent work on the CAOC Board of Governors has helped strengthen California’s consumer protection laws with the passing of SB 477 – which now permits family members to seek pain and suffering damages on behalf of someone wrongfully killed. When not seeking justice for his clients Mark prioritizes spending time with his family and friends – whether it's walking to dinner in downtown Culver City, catching a live concert at the Hollywood Bowl, or watching his daughter play soccer at the park. And just know… if you see him on a local basketball court he is just as tough to face there as he is in the courtroom!

My mother’s mesothelioma case load was extensive (20+) and Mark did a brilliant job of representing my family. Having several cases during the height of Covid-19 represented challenges, but Mark kept my family informed and educated during the whole process. All cases were resolved over and above expe...

Mark knows his chosen field and works hard for his clients. Can be gentle as a lamb or tenacious as a bear after honey. He was very helpful and supportive during weeks of depositions.
Steve - thanks for taking the time to leave such a kind review. My daughter will get a kick out of the lamb v bear analogy! Take care and reach out with any further issues.

When we first found out about my mesothelioma diagnosis we didn’t know what to do or where to turn to. Our attorneys went over and beyond in discovering the cause and affects of asbestos and the negligence my employer committed and all the harm this did to me and probably many others. Mark was pa...
