In 2018, Mark Post Law, LLC, opened in Columbus, Georgia. Prior to opening this firm, Mark Post joined a Columbus, Georgia, law firm as a partner and owner. Mark served many clients during his time there sharing his wealth of legal knowledge and substantial experience in the field of complex litigation gained over many years trying cases before juries.
A skilled and accomplished litigator with over thirty years of experience, Mark has favorably concluded civil matters as plaintiff’s counsel involving negligently caused serious personal injury and wrongful death; premises liability; violation of civil rights; nuisance; and more. He has successfully defended those falsely accused of sexual offenses; served as criminal defense counsel in federal drug cases in which up to thirty-five defendants were indicted; skillfully litigated white collar criminal cases involving over a million dollars; and tried multiple co-defendant murder, armed robbery, and drug cases. Mark regularly handles criminal record correction or restriction (often referred to as expungement), petitions for removal from sex offender registries, and Retroactive First Offender petitions for those in need of assistance.
Mark graduated from Emory University with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and furthered his education at the University of Georgia School of Law receiving his law degree in 1992.
