Mark P. Barry

Founder, MPB Legal llc

Mark P. Barry founded MPB Legal in [year] with a simple idea: that solo attorneys, working directly with clients, can deliver better legal services than large firms charging three times as much. Fifteen years and several hundred matters later, that idea still drives the practice.

Mark represents small businesses, creative professionals, and families on matters ranging from business formation and contracts to trademark filings, estate planning, and collections work for medical and professional practices. The common thread across these areas is the kind of client he serves best — people who want a lawyer who will actually pick up the phone, explain what's going on in plain language, and stick around for the questions that come up six months later.

Licensed in both Indiana and California since 2010, Mark works with clients on both sides of the country and is comfortable bridging legal matters that touch both states. He's a court-approved mediator and has appeared in state and federal courts in Indiana.

HOW I WORK

Direct access. You work with me from intake through closing — no associates, no handoffs, no surprises about who's handling your matter.

Transparent fees. Flat fees where possible, clear hourly rates where not. You'll always know what you're paying for.

Long-term support. Most clients don't need a lawyer constantly — they need one available when they do. I keep relationships open between matters and stay available for small questions without restarting the clock.
