About Mark
Mark Dunford earned his Juris Doctor from the State University of New York - Buffalo. He built his legal foundation in law school, where he concentrated on coursework that prepared him for practice in New York courts. After graduation he entered legal practice and maintained his bar eligibility in New York.
His career includes a role as Of Counsel at Trbovich Law Office. In that capacity he has worked alongside trial teams and office partners. He offers seasoned judgment on case strategy, handles complex legal research, and helps draft pleadings and briefs. Colleagues describe him as methodical and steady. He often steps in on matters that require additional experience or a careful review of precedent.
Dunford's professional path has been steady rather than flashy. He did not pursue a bench career or an immediate jump into firm ownership. Instead he has taken roles that keep him close to clients and to the work of lawyering itself. He has spent years in private practice, where day-to-day tasks include client counseling, negotiating settlements, and preparing for hearings. Those responsibilities have shaped his approach to problem solving and to advising clients on realistic outcomes.
Outside the office, he has engaged in the routines of legal practice that sustain a neighborhood firm: mentoring junior lawyers, participating in office strategy sessions, and contributing to case management. He prefers quiet, practical work. He values clarity in legal writing and careful preparation before court appearances. That steadiness has made him a resource within the firm for matters that require extra attention to detail.
Dunford is licensed to practice in New York. He remains involved in the local legal community through his work at Trbovich Law Office. He practices primarily out of the firm's offices and travels as needed for client meetings and court dates. He balances active casework with the advisory role expected of an Of Counsel attorney.
He currently practices as Of Counsel at Trbovich Law Office, serving clients in New York.
