REW Managing Partner Mark Robinius serves as the Managing Partner of REW and has more than 25 years of experience in both criminal defense and prosecuting complex litigation matters.

While a law student at University of Tulsa School of Law, Mark worked full time and was mentored in the intricacies of complex litigation by the legendary trial attorney John Howie, principal partner of the Dallas, Texas based firm Howie & Sweeney. While working for Mr. Howie and assisting with several high-profile trials, Mark accumulated several awards as a law student including being selected to the Order of Barristers, winning the 1998 Hagar Moot Court Competition and the 1999 CALI Excellence for the Future Award. Even before Mark graduated from the University of Tulsa School of law, he had already passed the Texas bar exam.

After graduating from law school, Mark continued to develop his trial skills by serving as an Assistant Dallas County District Attorney under the renowned former Dallas D.A. Bill Hill. In the first of many court room victories to come, in his first week as an Assistant D.A., Mark won his first jury trial. In the more than two decades since that first victory, Mark has served as lead counsel in over 250 trials and has developed a well-earned reputation as one of the nation’s preeminent criminal defense attorneys. Mark’s tenacious representation and zealous advocacy, as well as his proven track record, has led to his being retained as defense counsel in some of the nation’s most high-profile criminal cases.

Mark’s success as one of the nation’s preeminent criminal defense trial attorneys has resulted in his being retained as consulting counsel in numerous complex, high stakes civil litigation cases. Mark’s participation in these cases rekindled a desire to return to his civil litigation roots and use his trial skills in the representation of seemingly powerless clients who had been subjected to mistreatment by all-powerful corporations.

In the execution of his vision, Mark founded REW’s Complex Litigation Group. To ensure that REW’s Complex Litigation Group was world class and had the firepower to vigorously represent REW clients in their war against some of the world’s biggest corporate defendants, Mark invested significant resources and brought in his old friend from Howie & Sweeney, Gabe Reed, to assist him as a non-attorney Senior Litigation Consultant.

With a combined 50 years of complex litigation experience, in short order, REW’s Complex Litigation Group has become engaged in prosecuting high-profile employment discrimination actions, civil rights actions involving law enforcement abuse, complex business litigation actions as well as actions involving automobile/truck crashes resulting in personal injuries, permanent disabilities and death. The REW Complex Litigation Group currently has cases filed in both federal and state court against international corporate defendants such as loanDepot, AT&T and almost every major insurance company in the United States.
