Mark C. Dow

Mark C. Dow is a veteran New Mexico attorney with more than 40 years of legal experience. At B & D Law Offices, P.C., his practice focuses on insurance coverage litigation, bad faith disputes, wrongful death, and personal injury. He primarily represents insured clients in disputes with insurers, including matters involving coverage for wildfire losses. His work also includes advocacy for disabled military veterans and litigation in state, federal, and tribal courts and arbitration.

Dow earned his J.D. from Pepperdine School of Law and later completed a master’s degree in National Security and an M.B.A. His legal, policy, and business education supports a practice that often requires close review of insurance contracts, financial consequences, and disputed coverage positions. That background helps him assess complex records, identify legal and contractual issues, and present arguments in matters where insurance obligations and significant losses are contested.

Dow has developed substantial experience in insurance-related litigation and other civil disputes. His work includes bad faith insurance claims, coverage questions arising from wildfire damage, wrongful death matters, personal injury cases, construction defect disputes, consumer protection claims, and breach of contract litigation. He represents clients across multiple forums, including New Mexico state and federal courts, tribal courts, and arbitration. This range of work gives him experience handling disputes involving contracts, damages, liability, and insurer conduct.

Mark C. Dow is a member of the State Bar of New Mexico and the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association. His decades of practice give him a broad perspective on litigation strategy, insurance disputes, and the practical effects of contested coverage. He works to evaluate policy language, factual records, and available remedies while keeping the client’s underlying loss in focus. His practice is built around resolving serious civil disputes through negotiation, litigation, or arbitration as the matter requires.
