Mark C. Guenin
MarkG@GueninLaw.com
Mark knew from a very young age that he wanted to be a lawyer. Even though as a young boy in a farming community he had little direct knowledge of what a lawyer actually did. Driving a tractor for hours each summer day gives you a long time to think about what is important in your life. Mark started driving tractors when he was 7. It was during these early years that he determined to be a lawyer. A college education was not common in his community. Law degrees were rarer. Mark completed law school in 2 ½ years, passing the Indiana State Bar Examination a full semester prior to his graduation.
Mark counts three different occasions when by rights, he should have been killed or crippled before the age of thirteen. Surviving by grace, these experiences provide a fearlessness in taking on the giant Insurance industry when it attempts to “short change” or take financial advantage of the suffering of another person.
Over the past 40 years Mark has developed and gained a high level of working knowledge that reflects a combination of common sense and extraordinary experience.
Mark, together with his daughter and legal partner Emily, has handled cases involving clients, experts, and fact witnesses from Maine to California and Florida to Idaho. Most of these cases involve insurance companies, personal injury, and wrongful death. Hard work, careful preparation and knowledge of the law have resulted in millions of dollars in recoveries for their clients.
Mark and his wife Diane have been married for over 40 years. They have three adult daughters – Emily, Natalie, and Lindsey; and six grandchildren – Troy, Laney, Drew, James, Cale, and Luna.

At Guenin Law we recognize that each of our clients have a unique story and we are passionate about making sure those stories are told. Each person and each case is important.
