Mark M. Turner
Mark began practicing law in 2002. He spent over 13 years with the Cleveland firm of Gallagher Sharp, primarily as a litigator, before venturing on my own and then landing at The Gertsburg Law Firm in 2017 before choosing to restart his practice in 2020. Before becoming an attorney, I worked as a financial manager for a small business. My experience allows me to understands the challenges facing small business owners, allowing me to advise, as well as provide valuable legal information.
With over 25 years’ experience in the business and legal worlds, I strive to find timely, cost-effective solutions rather than spending valuable resources to win at all costs. In the past, I have represented a diverse array of clients from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses and individuals. His practice focus includes estate planning, probate litigation, business advising, non-profit consulting. Mark’s business background and legal training offers a unique set of skills to help protect and grow businesses, ensure contract proposals are properly drafted and current contracts are fair, mitigate risks and analyze the cost/benefit of new endeavors.
Beyond the practice of law, Mark is the proud father of two active children. I remain involved in several non-profit organizations including being a board member of Open Doors Academy and legal advisor for Third World Books.
