About Marc
Biography
I pride myself on being accessable to my clients at their convenience. I have always believed that a client should be able to contact me with any questions that they have and that I have an obligation to respond quickly.
I have given my cell phone number many, many times so that I can be reached as needed. I find that clients appreciate that personal touch. Often times I return calls late at night or on weekends if that's the only available time.
My concentration is Workers' Compensation law. After 31 years in this practice I would like to say that I've seen it all, but I'm sure that I have not.
Each day presents a new challange and new clients with their own specific, important problems.
On a personal level, if I'm not working I can be found riding one of my several bicycles. I average 200 miles per week in the summer and less in the winter but will still go out as long as it's not too slippery.
I belong to several bike clubs in the area that vary in distance in speed. One of the groups is a racing group and another is a travel group. With the second group I have ridden in California, South Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, Toronto and Montreal. We are currently planning next year's ride.

Excellent, Honest and Trustworthy Worker's Compensation Attorney!
Marc has been and is there for me whenever I need him. My case is a screwy one, where multiple, multiple surgeries have been needed.
