About Mark
Mark Bachara is an attorney admitted to practice in North Carolina and before the Federal Circuit. He steadies courtroom arguments and paperwork with the same methodical attention he brought to early clerkships and internships. Colleagues describe him as deliberate; clients encounter a lawyer who prepares thoroughly and presents clearly.
His early legal work included internships and clerkships at several public offices. He served as an intern for the United States House of Representatives and worked as a law clerk in the Office of the Lawyer General for the State of Maryland. He later clerked for the Honorable Ronald Karasic, a district court judge, where he handled research, opinion drafting and courtroom preparation. Those roles gave him exposure to both appellate issues and the daily operations of trial courts.
Bachara moved into private practice after those formative positions. He worked as an associate at Coble Law Office, P.C., taking on client files, motion practice and negotiations. He also served as an Assistant District Lawyer in the Office of the District Lawyer, gaining trial experience and courtroom time. The variety of those roles sharpened both his written advocacy and his readiness for contested hearings.
Outside the office he remains involved in community and professional organizations. He holds memberships in Rotary International and Kiwanis, where he participates in local service activities. He is also a member of the North Carolina Bar Association and the Brunswick County Bar Association, engaging with bar programming and staying current on developments across state practice.
At Bachara & Essey, LLP he combines his public-sector background and private-practice experience. He handles litigation tasks, client counseling and appellate filings, and he appears in matters that touch on federal appellate procedure as well as state trial practice. His practice benefits from the mix of courtroom time and earlier clerkship work that informs how he approaches pleadings and oral argument.
Peers and clients note his steady courtroom presence and attention to detail. He maintains contacts across public and private sectors, reflecting a career that has moved through legislative, executive and judicial environments. He continues to take cases that require both trial preparation and appellate awareness. He currently practices at Bachara & Essey, LLP, handling matters in North Carolina and appeals before the Federal Circuit.
