A native of North Texas, Mark Lish graduated from Texas A&M University in 1985 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 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 left to open his own practice in the summer of 1994, and devoted the better part of his working hours over the next three decades to helping General Counsels and Legal Departments of a few large corporate clients, with a steady, never-ending stream of contracts, real estate and transactions, and to helping a select group of smaller business clients with similar matters, and various individual clients, as well. 
 
Now, more than 37 years after he first began practicing law, Mr. Lish still enjoys the  intellectual challenges of representing the Firm's business clients in commercial and real estate 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 spending time outdoors, whether it be gardening, hiking, hunting or simply driving scenic highways and byways, exploring state and national parks, and other beautiful, awe-inspiring natural vistas that he has yet to see.
