Mark Javier

Firm: Patton & Ryan, LLC
330 N Wabash , Chicago , Illinois 60611
Practice Areas: Litigation
Mark A. Javier graduated from The John Marshall Law School in 2006 with the aspiration of becoming an exceptional trial lawyer. During law school Mark discovered his passion for trial work through mock trial competitions, and courses in trial advocacy and trial evidence. After earning his Juris Doctor, Mark pursued his desire for trial work in the field of criminal law. He began his career as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Cook County where he handled a wide range of criminal prosecutions, including misdemeanors and felonies. The extraordinarily heavy case load allowed him to conduct trials at a rapid pace so that he could hone his skills in the courtroom.. In 2011, Mark expanded his field of practice into health care law when he accepted a position with the Illinois Department of Public Health as Associate General Counsel. He joined a small team of lawyers who were charged with litigating and regulating every nursing home and extended care facility in the state. Mark also handled several department initiatives including compliance with rules pertaining to swimming pool drainage systems, regulation of synthetic cannabis and Freedom of Information Act compliance. He conducted numerous administrative hearings, negotiated effective settlements between the state and corporations and provided valuable legal advice to clients.. Eventually Mark began a solo practice in 2012 to serve the community and provide quality legal counsel to individuals of modest means. His primary area of practice was representing clients accused of criminal offenses, but he also represented individuals in civil defense, administrative hearing and transactional matters. As a private practitioner, Mark added to his trial advocacy experience through numerous bench and jury trials.. After running his own office for several years, Mark has joined the team at Patton & Ryan LLC to continue his trial advocacy work and contribute to the civil defense of its clients. He will add valuable courtroom experience, trial skills and legal knowledge to the firm.. Along with his dedication to the practice of law, Mark actively participates in various civic and non-profit organizations, serving many of them in leadership roles. He is committed to giving back to the community and serving under resourced individuals.

Louis Bernstein

350 N Clark St Ste 400 , Chicago , Illinois 60654
Practice Areas: Arbitration, Business , Corporate , Energy , Mediation, Natural Resources, Real Estate , Litigation
Lou began his practice of law in New York in 1984 prior to moving to Chicago, where he became an equity partner at Gould & Ratner in 1992. He also held the same position at Neal, Gerber, & Eisenberg and Much Shelist, prior to forming Bernstein Law Firm in 2009. During those formative years, Lou garnered experience representing clients throughout the United States, in complex civil litigation matters before trial courts, arbitration panels, mediators, and numerous state and federal appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court. Lou also served as chairman of the litigation department and governing bodies of several of those firms. However, large firm politics and adherence to the bottom line took its toll. As Lou liked to joke, “I could not wait to get out of the office and into court for some peace and quiet.” Lou then decided to build upon his experience and open his own law firm to better represent his clients and provide a work environment more conducive to relationship building and fostering collegiality among the attorneys and staff of the firm.. Over the years Lou has primarily focused his area of expertise on complex civil litigation matters. The breadth of these representations has run from a multitude of real estate developers in the Chicagoland area, the Crown family, class action defense for Bumble Bee Foods and JPMorgan Chase, franchise litigation on behalf of Pepperidge Farm and in the fashion industry, most prominently, Tom Ford, AG Jeans and Carine Roitfeld. Some highlights include:. Lou is Chairman Emeritus of The Mankind Project International and a member of The Executives' Club of Chicago.  He is a featured speaker and regular panelist on timely issues of business, banking, real estate, and finance law at legal and business conferences around the country and has served as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the Northwestern University School of Law.
