On Tuesday, August 12, 2025, the Supreme Court of Ohio accepted the resignation of Attorney Mark Mariotti with disciplinary action pending.
The case is entitled “In the Matter of Mark Mariotti,” with case no. 2025-0868.
The Supreme Court’s ruling included several directives regarding Mariotti’s future conduct. Effective immediately, all rights and privileges associated with practicing law in Ohio have been revoked. He is prohibited from presenting himself as an attorney or providing legal services to any individual or entity. The court emphasized that Mariotti must cease all legal activities in any capacity.
Additionally, Mariotti is required to refrain from entering into any employment or consulting relationships with attorneys or law firms unless those firms comply with the registration requirements outlined in the Ohio Bar Rules. If he does engage in employment, he must avoid direct client interactions and is barred from handling client trust funds or property.
The court further mandated that Mariotti surrender his certificate of admission to practice within 30 days of the order and that his name be removed from the official roll of attorneys in Ohio. He is also instructed to reimburse any amounts awarded against him by the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection within 90 days of the order.
Mariotti must notify all clients he currently represents about his resignation and the implications for their legal matters. This notification should include advising clients to seek alternative legal representation and ensuring the return of any documents or property belonging to them. Furthermore, he is required to refund any unearned fees and account for any trust funds he may possess.
To ensure compliance with these orders, Mariotti must file an affidavit with the court and disciplinary counsel, demonstrating that he has fulfilled all obligations outlined in the order. He is also responsible for maintaining records of his actions related to this process and keeping the court informed about any changes to his address.
The Disposition states:
“On consideration thereof, it is ordered by the court that pursuant to Gov.Bar R. VI(II)(C), the resignation as an attorney and counselor at law is accepted as a resignation with disciplinary action pending.”
According to Avvo.com, Mr. Mariotti was an attorney in Strongsville, Ohio. He attended the Thomas M. Cooley Law School. He acquired his law license in Ohio in 1997.
