About Eric M. Mark

Eric M. Mark is the founder of the Law Office of Eric M. Mark based in Newark, NJ. Since 2010, the firm has focused on immigration law throughout the United States, criminal defense in New Jersey, New York and federal courts, and specifically the criminal-immigration intersection.

What makes Eric unique is his approach to the law. While many lawyers limit themselves to strategies based on existing law, which is, of course, important and essential, Eric is not afraid to try to make new law or challenge existing laws. Many lawyers find a specific niche that is comfortable for them; Eric’s niche is the complicated cases that many other lawyers do not want or cannot handle. These cases require not only knowledge and experience, but also creativity. It is the creative strategies and solutions that make Eric unique and that he is most proud of.

From 2006 through 2009, Eric was an assistant prosecutor in Somerset County. Eric graduated from the Pepperdine University School of Law and completed his undergraduate degree at Rutgers University.

Eric is a member of the New Jersey Association of Justice, the Essex County Bar Association, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and the National Immigration Project. He is a former chairperson of the New Jersey chapter of AILA. He has participated on CLE panels for the New Jersey Association for Justice, the Federal Bar Association, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and the Essex County Bar Association and has been a guest lecturer at the Rutgers University School of Law.
