I was born in Toronto Canada a long time ago and that is all I am going to speak about age.  My family moved to Washington State in 1967.  I had a green card until I passed the bar and you were required at that time to be an American Citizen to be licensed.    Coming to the States is the second best thing that has happened to me.  Meeting and marrying my wife is the first... My only claim to faim at the University of Washington was playing freshman baseball and pitching a no-hitter against Olympic Junior College.. I was inspired by JFK to be a lawyer but I never envisioned doing what I do now.. The greatest thing about helping injured people besides helping them is I don't. get paid unless my clients do.. That fact and 42 years of experience gives my clients and I a very, very good chance of being compensated.  The hardest part of what I do is seeing my injured clients go through what they do until the case is over.

I was born and raised in Western Washington.  I enjoy spending time with my family, swiming, and hiking in our local area.

I have been passionate about protecting the rights of immigrants since law school. I accept all types of immigration matters, and I specialize in finding solutions in complex cases.

I have been an attorney since 1983. I was a high profile drug prosecutor in New Jersey for 3 years before moving to Washington State. I have the experience needed to help resolve your case!

I am the founder of South King County's largest law firm, and have served as a Managing Partner for all of its existence.  I conceived the firm as having Seattle/Bellevue law firm image and quality, but with the convenience and reasonable fees permitted by a Kent location.  The firm is now approaching its tenth anniversary; with eighteen lawyers - the experiment was a success!  I believe the lawyers in this firm are among the finest there are in the State.. I have over 36 years of legal experience, nearly all of it in a Partner/Leader capacity.  My own practice emphasizes the representation of municipalities, builders, developers and businesses in land use, commercial, construction, governmental and litigation matters.. I have substantial court and trial experience, including personal injury and criminal jury trials, commercial litigation, matters in the State Courts of Appeals and Supreme Court; and Federal trial and Appellate matters.  Although I still end up in Court a fair amount, more recently my cases tend to be resolved with Mediation, which I have found to be a very effective method to get my clients the best possible results at a reasonable cost.. I am regularly appointed by the King County Superior Court as an Arbitrator, and after hearing and deciding many such cases, I don't believe I have ever been appealed by the litigants.. I am married to Peggy and we have four sons - two of whom are fine attorneys with the firm.  My personal interests are photography, boating (we have a big, old Chris Craft), motorcycling (a big, old Harley), traveling, and eleven grandkids.

I am Senior Counsel at the Law Office of Mark McClure, PS where I practice in the fields of consumer rights and bankruptcy, including related litigation, and have been the lead attorney in various lawsuits and adversary matters..

Having been fortunate to find employment with firms specializing in more than one area of the law, my experience ranges from personal injury to high conflict family law cases.  A little over two years ago, I made the decision to exclusiveluy focus on family law cases.  I made this choice because I found it was the area of law where I was making the greatest difference in people's lives.  Don't get me wrong, people are pleased when they receive large sums of money from the insurance company. Notwithstanding a sizeable payday, people are grateful when you positively intervene in the part of their life that means more to them than money ever could; that is of course, their family.
