Mark A. Cameli

Mark's clients frequently come to him during a point of crisis and rely upon his excellent negotiation skills, as well as his trial and appellate experience as demonstrated in hundreds of civil and criminal cases including a significant number of published cases. However, Mark also offers clients access to preemptive and extremely effective strategic planning designed to mitigate compliance risk. He instructs both professionals and staff members on ways to avoid costly mistakes.

Prior to joining Reinhart, Mark served as a state prosecutor, then as a member of the Criminal and Civil Divisions of the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Wisconsin where he became Chief of the Civil Division. Mark was the district' first Affirmative Civil Enforcement Coordinator. This unique professional background gives him valuable, in-depth knowledge and experience with both the prosecution and defense of business tort and fraud-based cases and the creative defense of white collar criminal and civil matters.

In his work as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Mark also served as the chief of the Financial Litigation Unit where he tried commercial disputes between the government and third parties. Mark was frequently recognized for his accomplishments — notably by the Attorney General and federal agencies.

In addition to his legal practice, Mark is a seasoned presenter who speaks to client groups and professional associations on enterprise risk management and best practices. He has shared his skills in trial advocacy as a faculty member for the Attorney General's Advocacy Institute at the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., and taught programs sponsored by the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (ATLA), Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan Bar Associations.

Away from the office, he has a wide variety of interests. He is both an opera and automotive enthusiast, enjoys spending time with his three daughters and four grandchildren, and is a dedicated purveyor and consumer of good humor.
