Mark T. Flewelling, A.B. Occidental College,1977; J.D. University of Southern California Law School, 1980.

For over 20 years, Mark was an associate and partner with the downtown Los Angeles law firm of Walker, Wright, Tyler and Ward. As a founding partner of Anglin, Flewelling, Rasmussen, Campbell & Trytten, LLP, Mark continues his practice of litigating commercial, business, banking, and real estate cases in state and federal courts throughout California. Mark's banking litigation practice includes the defense of lender liability actions, mortgage related litigation, and negotiable instruments cases. Other cases arise from real estate transactions, import/export transactions and debtor/creditor relationships. For over two decades, Mark has also represented creditors in Bankruptcy Court.

Recent cases include:

1. Defending a bank in a lawsuit involving the sale of a Southern California office building and the proposed assumption of a secured real estate loan. The Superior Court dismissed the case after sustaining the bank’s demurrer. The Court of Appeal upheld the dismissal and the judgment for the bank.

2. Defending a bank in a lawsuit involving the foreclosure of a hotel in Texas. The District Court granted the bank’s summary judgment motion and entered an award of attorneys’ fees in favor of the bank. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals later affirmed both awards. Part of the fee award was recently paid after the bank liened a related lawsuit filed by the plaintiff against third parties.

3. Defending an import/export company sued by a large freightforwarder over disputed shipments imported from China. The Superior Court entered a summary judgment in the importer’s favor and later found the freightforwarder responsible for the importer’s attorneys’ fees. The Court of Appeal upheld the summary judgment and affirmed the fee award. The freightforwarder paid all of the importer’s attorneys’ fees.

Married with three children, Mark's spare time includes hiking and fly fishing with his family, coaching his younger son’s baseball team, an occasional golf game and weekly tennis matches. Among his community interests, Mark was mayor of his hometown, served as a trustee of two school boards, and headed an athletic booster club for his children’s high school.
