Mark Lish moved from Dallas to Midlothian, Texas in 1974, at a time when there was only one blinking red light in the small town of just over 2,000 people, most of whom had party-lines and telephone numbers with only 5 digits.   There, at a young age, he learned the value of hard work, integrity and determination. After graduating from high school, he worked at the local steel mill during summers and at his brother’s auto-glass business in Bryan, Texas during the school year, working his way through Texas A&M University, and graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism.  He went on to attend Texas Tech University School of Law where he was a published member and casenote editor for the Texas Tech Law Review.  Upon graduation, he accepted a position as an associate in the Business Section of Vial, Hamilton, Koch & Knox in Dallas, where he practiced general business and real estate law for several years before opening Lish Law Firm in 1994. 

Today, Mark thrives on the challenges and demands associated with representing clients in complex commercial, real estate and technology transactions.  He prizes the flexiblity that working at Lish Law Firm affords when deciding how to best serve the firms' clients, and enjoys the day-to-day interactions and relationships with clients and colleagues.  Weather permitting, Mark spends his weekends outdoors where he can often be found engaged in some type of physical work or labor, as though trying to prove that “one man’s work is another man’s leisure”.  Most of all, he cherishes the time spent with his wife, and family and friends.
