Mark Michael Bell

Expert guidance through a complex insurance dispute

I engaged Mark Bell at Holland & Knight after my business faced a significant and complex coverage denial from our commercial insurer. The situation involved nuanced policy language and required immediate, strategic action. Mark’s deep knowledge of insurance law, honed over his 15-year career, was immediately apparent. He was able to dissect the insurer’s position, leverage his litigation experience, and build a compelling case for coverage. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Insurance Law is well-deserved, and his Vanderbilt Law background speaks to the caliber of his analytical skills. Mark and his team were thorough, professional, and ultimately negotiated a settlement that far exceeded our initial expectations, saving the business from a major financial hit. The only slight critique, and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is that during the initial engagement phase, there were a couple of instances where follow-up communication took a bit longer than I would have preferred, given the urgency of our situation. That said, once the case was actively moving, communication was consistent. I would confidently recommend Mark to any individual or business in Nashville facing a serious insurance coverage challenge.
