About Mark V.
Mark V. Larson took a nontraditional path into law. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo in 2003 and later received a J.D. from Southwestern University School of Law in 2011. Those academic credentials combine marketing and legal training, and they inform the way he approaches client problems.
Larson began working inside law firms while still early in his career. In 1998 he served as a legal assistant and law clerk at Carpenter & Zuckerman, a role that gave him front-line exposure to case preparation and client intake. After law school he moved into practice as an associate lawyer in 2012 at Carpenter, Zukerman & Rowley, LLC, where he handled a range of matters under senior attorneys and helped manage litigation and transactional workflows.
Over time Larson has built a practice grounded in practical problem solving. His business background shapes how he frames legal questions, and his courtroom and office experience shape how he communicates options to clients. He maintains memberships in professional organizations and remains active in bar-related and legal community circles. Colleagues describe him as methodical in case preparation and direct in client communications.
He now practices at Larson, Larson & Dauer, a Law Corporation. At the firm he applies both his business training and his courtroom experience when advising clients. He prepares pleadings, conducts legal research, negotiates on behalf of clients and appears in court when required. His practice covers matters brought in California courts and administrative venues.
Clients and other lawyers who work with Larson note a preference for clear, practical answers over legalese. He favors outlining concrete next steps and costs so clients understand trade-offs. That approach traces back to his early days assisting attorneys and to classroom work in both marketing and law.
Mark V. Larson continues to handle matters out of the firm’s office and accepts cases in California. He practices law in California at Larson, Larson & Dauer, a Law Corporation, serving clients across the state and addressing business-related legal issues and civil matters.
