About Mark
He initially began his legal career as a law clerk to the Chief Judge of the Louisiana Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal, the Honorable John C. Boutall. From there he became law clerk to the Senior Judge of the 24th Judicial District Court in the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana, the Honorable Frank V. Zaccaria.
After almost three years clerking, Mr. Smith entered private practice. He immediately began concentrating in personal injury litigation including: medical malpractice, automobile accidents, maritime injuries, and wrongful death.
In 1989 Mark went to work for one of the city of New Orleans premier personal injury firms and worked on aviation disasters (the Avianca air crash in New York), maritime personal injury claims, medical malpractice claims, wrongful death claims, and class action claims. In 1994 Mark opened his own firm and has been in private practice for himself since that date.
With the destruction left behind by Hurricane Katrina, the firm of Mark W. Smith & Associates has represented literally hundreds of individuals whose claims where mishandled by their insurance companies. They have had great success on their client’s behalf and was involved as lead counsel in one of the very few court certified class actions arising from Katrina.
Mark has represented literally thousands of individuals, winning tens of millions of dollars in recoveries, from insurance companies, major corporations, and governmental entities for everything from slip and fall accidents to paraplegia to wrongful death cases.
