A named firm behind the legal-service conversation
ELL provides information, practical preparation tools and voice intake. Corcoran Smith Law is the partner firm offering legal services. Starting intake does not mean a lawyer has accepted a matter, checked conflicts or agreed to representation.
The firm's published employment services include wage disputes, discrimination, retaliation, leave, accommodation, wrongful termination and severance. Its assessment is defined and quoted individually. Continued negotiation or litigation is a separate engagement decision.
Mark C. Smith
Mark C. Smith is the firm's principal attorney and founder. The California State Bar identifies him as Mark Corcoran Smith, number 319003. His firm biography describes a Berkeley Law education, complex civil litigation and a federal judicial clerkship.
Use his profile for verified biographical sources and his role in the employment team. Prior experience should not be read as a promise about your case or as a claim of employment-law certification.
Seth Steward
Seth Steward is identified by the firm as a litigation attorney on its employment team. The State Bar identifies him as Ian Seth Steward, number 257561. His firm biography describes legal education at George Washington University and prior prosecution and civil-litigation experience.
Attorney assignment depends on the matter and availability. Ask who will review your facts and perform each agreed service rather than assuming a particular attorney is assigned by this page.
How authorship and review work
The editorial team prepares general information using identified sources. An attorney profile does not make that attorney the author or reviewer of every page. A named legal-review credit is used only after the particular content version is actually reviewed.

Has every ELL page been reviewed by these attorneys?
No such blanket review is claimed. A page names an attorney reviewer only when that review actually occurred.
