Mark Obenstine is an attorney who concentrates on complex litigation and class action cases. He is dedicated to holding corporations accountable for misconduct. He is strong at recognizing patterns and opportunities in class-action law before they become widespread. His forward-thinking perspective allows him to anticipate consumer protection, corporate responsibility, and regulatory enforcement developments, helping him take action before such issues gain broader legal attention. He earned his undergraduate degree from Syracuse University in New York in 1994, graduating Summa Cum Laude. He then attended Harvard Law School, completing his law degree in 1999. After graduation, he began his legal career with Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, a prominent San Francisco law firm. After two years, he pursued his professional path and established an independent practice. In 2001, he opened his firm, initially focusing on breach-of-contract cases for small businesses. Over time, he developed a consulting practice centered on class-action litigation. His consulting work involved legal research, developing innovative legal arguments, and offering strategic advice to law firms managing class-action cases. Through this role, he contributed to many cases, including several high-profile ones that addressed major consumer and corporate issues. In July 2024, he founded his own class action firm, dedicating his efforts to uncovering and resolving impactful cases through strategic early settlement negotiations. Class actions enable groups of individuals with similar claims to collectively pursue justice, often in matters involving defective products, deceptive advertising, employment violations, consumer fraud, data breaches, securities issues, or environmental harm. The timeline of these cases can vary greatly, lasting from a few months to several years, depending on complexity and appeals. He remains committed to promoting fairness and accountability, especially in areas where regulatory bodies may fall short. Through his work, he helps expose corporate negligence, create transparency, and drive companies to adopt safer and more ethical practices. Mark Obenstine continues to use his extensive experience and dedication to justice to protect public interests and ensure that corporate accountability remains a central part of the legal process.
