My Practice: My primary areas of concentration are estate planning, transactional law, and real estate.

I welcome phone calls from all areas of legal and non-legal concerns and am open to helping those in need when it is possible for me to do so.

Over the years, I have honed my skills as an attorney in three distinct areas of concentration: estate planning, transactional law, and real estate.. Estate planning includes the preparation of wills, trusts, family planning, business succession, and strategies to minimize potential tax liability.. Transactional law includes the starting, maintaining, selling and purchasing of all types of business entities. Advising on corporations, limited liability companies and partnerships is part of my representation.. Real estate includes the buying and selling of residential and commercial property as well as the drafting and review of leases.. Education:. I graduated from Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, in the Spring of 1989, with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration concentrating in Finance and Marketing. I then went on to Thomas M. Cooley Law School and received my Juris Doctorate Degree, with Honors, in the area of Sales and Negotiable Instruments, in 1993.. Personal:. I am a member of Harvest Bible Chapel and attend the Rolling Meadows campus. I am a supporter of Christian education.

Mark Bishop

Firm: Mark Bishop
400 E. Diehl Road , Naperville , Illinois 60563
Practice Areas: Automobile Accidents, Business & Commercial, Personal Injury, Trusts, Litigation
Since 1999, I have been going to court for my clients and winning compensation for those seriously injured or killed as a result of someone else’s negligence. Our firm represents the families of those lost in terrible automobile and truck accidents, those who have suffered profound injuries as a result of medical negligence, and those who have been abused and neglected in nursing homes. When necessary, we have tried cases to favorable verdicts for our clients and just recently achieved a firm-record settlement of $3.25 Million for the familiy of a man killed in an auto accident.. I understand that my clients often face life-altering challenges as a result of their injuries and that long drawn out litigation only adds to their suffering. I pride myself on the ability to explain the legal process to my clients in way that is understandable to them so that they know what is going on and what to expect at each stage of the case. I aggressively represent our clients in the state and federal court systems or pursue out of court settlements when warranted. My goal is to recover the maximum amount of damages for our clients from wrongdoers and their insurance companies. But recovering fair compensation is only part of the battle. Once a settlement or judgment is obtained, I continue representing our clients by contesting and negotiating reimbursement claims from health insurers, medical providers, employers, and anyone else who is trying to claim a portion of my client’s settlement – all to ensure that my client receives the maximum payment possible.. I welcome referrals and co-counsel arrangements with other attorneys who are looking for experienced counsel to handle their client’s negligence or injury cases. There is no charge for any initial consultation.. I am admitted to the Bar of the State of Illinois, a member of the Trial Bar for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, I am admitted to the the United States Court of Federal Claims, and I am also admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. I am an active member of the DuPage County Bar Association, presently serving as a Director. I previously served as the association's General Counsel, Associate General Counsel, and as Chairman of the Civil Law and Practice and Alternative Dispute Resolution Committees. I am also a Past President of the Robert E. Jones American Inns of Court. I alo present to attorneys and paralegals on legal issues I am knowledgeable about including wrongful death, personal injury, and nursing home abuse.. If you would like to know more about Mr. Bishop and his business litigation experience and his business general counsel services, please visit his LinkedIn page here:. The Law Offices of Mark S. Bishop, LLC is a law firm with a broad range of experience available to meet its clients' needs effectively and economically.
