Mark Lish was born in Dallas, grew up in Midlothian and has been a native of North Texas for most of his life. He graduated from Texas A&M University in May of 1985 with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism, and went on to attend Texas Tech University School of Law from 1986-1989, where he was a published member and Case Note Editor for the Texas Tech Law Review.  He graduated from Law School in May of 1989 and in September of that same year, began his legal career in the Business Section of Vial, Hamilton, Koch & Knox in Dallas, where he practiced corporate, business and real estate law.   He founded his own practice in the summer of 1994, and devoted the better part of his working hours over the next 25 years, to helping General Counsels and Legal Departments of a few large corporate clients with a steady, never-ending stream of contracts, real estate and transactional work, and to helping a select group of smaller business clients with similar matters, as well. 
 
Now, more than 35 years after he first began practicing law, Mr. Lish still enjoys the  intellectual challenges of representing the Firm's business clients in commercial, real estate, and technology-related transactions, but enjoys helping individual clients with estate plans and simple probate matters, as well.   Outside of legal work, Mark enjoys spending time with his wife and family, and experiencing the great outdoors, whether it be gardening, hiking, hunting and fishing, driving scenic highways and byways, and exploring state and national parks, and other beautiful, awe-inspiring natural vistas that he hasn't yet seen.
