Mark Algorri was born and raised in Los Angeles and began his legal profession in 1979 after completing his undergraduate degree in Political Science at University of California, Los Angeles in 1976, and Juris Doctorate degree at the University of San Fernando Valley College of Law, in 1979. He was admitted to practice in the same year, in both State and Federal Courts.

Since beginning with the firm in 1979, Mr. Algorri has handled hundreds of criminal, negligence, malpractice and complex product liability cases to a successful conclusion, including over 50 to jury verdict, receiving numerous six and seven figure settlements, and verdicts. Among other recent victories, Mr. Algorri won a 25.1 million dollar gross verdict in a motorcycle vs. vehicle trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court and settled a 10 million dollar insurance bad faith case against a national insurance carrier.

Mr. Algorri specializes in catastrophic personal Injury and wrongful death claims; products liability; environmental law; insurance and business litigation and has successfully handled numerous cases against large corporations and insurance companies, including Ford Motor Co, General Motors, Toyota and Cooper Tire Company, to name a few. Over ten years ago on CBS 60 Minutes with Ed Bradley, Mr. Algorri took the lead in exposing catastrophic car seat back failures that were killing and maiming vehicle occupants in low speed accidents. The piece confirmed that car makers knew of the problem, yet refused to correct it, and further revealed that the car makers consequently created ?junk science? to justify the defects during litigation. That case and others focused attention for the need for more stringent automotive safety standards, some that are now finally being addressed.

Mr. Algorri is currently active in representing plaintiffs in complex tire cases, motor vehicle defect cases, insurance bad faith case and substantial injury and wrongful death matters. He also represents clients in professional malpractice cases and unfair business practice claims.

Mr. Algorri is a member of Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles; Consumer Attorneys of California; Association of Trial Lawyers of America; Academy of Catastrophic Injury Attorneys, American Board of Trial Advocates and participates in other local, statewide and national trial and consumer lawyer associations as well as other professional organizations that track product defects.

In February 2006, Mr. Algorri was selected as a Southern California Super Lawyer by Los Angeles Magazine.
