Marcus has recently resolved a major issue our development company ran into with a second rate sub-contractor. He handled the issue flawlessly, quickly and efficiently. He is now on retainer with our firm. We look forward to working with him on both personal and professional matters.

Worth every penny
My firm was becoming embroiled in a potentially costly and complicated construction lien case. Mr. Sanborn helped us to resolve the issue in our favor and thus avoid a long drawn out legal battle. We'll be using Mr. Sanborn's services in the future.

His ability to help clients navigate through potential pitfalls of project administration is equal to his ability to fiercely advocate for clients in litigation or arbitration.
