Atty. Marc Mayerson: best lawyer I ever had!

Over the years I have had a great many lawyers, both in criminal and civil matters around the country. Atty. Marc Mayerson is positvely the best that I have ever had to represent me. He is very knowledgable in the field of insurance and all his work is very transparent: he let's you know exactly ...what he is doing and why he is doing it. When the settlement money came in Atty. Mayerson promptly gave me my portion of the proceeds. I highly recommend him for any person or private agency looking for a Super Lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
