Mark acts as lead and co-lead counsel in major personal injury and mass tort actions.
After 20 years of jury trials and serving in lead roles in some of the largest personal injury cases in Ohio and around the country, Mark DiCello co-founded DiCello Levitt to create a first-of-its kind firm that brought together top talent in the most important areas of complex litigation.
Beginning his career as an Assistant County Prosecutor, Mark honed his trial skills, streamlining and simplifying issues being presented to juries. After representing the state in criminal matters, Mark wanted to turn his attention to ensuring that victims were represented in other ways: via the private civil justice system.
Mark’s clients range from individuals suffering catastrophic personal injuries to groups of plaintiffs harmed by medical devices, pharmaceutical products, chemicals, automobiles, and more. He has led headline-grabbing mass tort and product liability cases and co-led massive multidistrict litigations. As a result of his efforts, Mark has been recognized by a number of different organizations, including being ranked as a Super Lawyer and receiving both the Crisis Management Trailblazer and Elite Boutique Trailblazer awards from The National Law Journal. Lawdragon has also recognized Mark as one of the 500 Leading Plaintiff Consumer Lawyers, and Benchmark Litigation recognizes Mark as a “Litigation Star” in Product Liability and Personal Injury. Mark is also rated an “AV” Preeminent Attorney by Martindale-Hubbell, and a member of The Summit Council, a national group of noted trial lawyers across the United States with several multi-million-dollar jury verdicts.
Understanding that technology often evolves at a faster pace than the law, Mark frequently teaches other lawyers about how to best use new tools in discovery to counter some of the most sophisticated arguments presented by “big tech” defendants. For example, Mark is a frequent lecturer on using trial science to reach jurors, modeling damages for large-scale litigation, and leveraging technology to develop discovery in some of the most difficult, scorched-earth litigation. By developing cutting-edge techniques to represent those individuals hurt by large corporations, Mark is able to present their stories after a vigorous focus-group and mock-trial process, in coordination with DiCello Levitt’s Trial Advocacy Center.
Mark presently represents thousands of individual service members and their families who were injured at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, by exposure to drinking water contaminated with industrial solvents, benzene, and other chemicals. Leading the charge to hold the government accountable for his clients’ catastrophic injuries and losses, Mark employs his decades of experience in leading mass torts and complex litigation to achieve justice for those willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Mark continues to lead with vision and, together with co-founder Adam Levitt, has built a diverse and fearless team of lawyers focused on some of the most important litigation of our time.
