About Mark J.
Mark J. Condon trained as a psychologist before turning to law. He earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz and later a J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law. Those studies inform how he evaluates testimony and counsels clients. He is comfortable moving between detailed factual work and courtroom procedure.
Condon is admitted to practice in California and before the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. He maintains an active membership in the California State Bar. Much of his professional life has been spent practicing at Ogden Law Office, PC, where he has handled matters that require appearances in both state and federal forums.
His legal work is grounded in careful preparation. He prepares pleadings and briefs, conducts factual investigation, and appears in court to advocate for clients. The combination of a social-science undergraduate degree and a law school education gives him a particular interest in how evidence, witness statements, and human behavior intersect in litigation. He often approaches cases by parsing the factual record into clear themes that a judge or jury can follow.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and deliberate. He favors clear, concise writing and practical courtroom tactics. He has experience managing discovery and coordinating with experts when cases demand technical or specialized input. That practical bent keeps case strategy focused on the next steps that matter most to a client’s position.
Clients who work with him can expect direct communication. He tends to outline options plainly, explain the trade-offs of different strategies, and set realistic timelines. The psychology background shows up in client meetings, where he often spends time understanding how people perceive risk and what outcomes truly matter to them.
Today he practices from Ogden Law Office, PC. He represents individuals and entities in matters that reach California state courts and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, handling case work, court appearances, and client counseling from that office.
