I believe in giving my clients 110 percent of my effort and loyalty. I am committed to providing zealous, aggressive representation for all of my clients, and have a track record to prove it.
In addition to being a lawyer, I am a Certified Public Accountant (licensed in Virginia), and have worked as an auditor and audit manager with the Department of Defense before going to law school and becoming an attorney. I find that this foundation has proved extremely valuable in representing my family law clients, as attention to detail can be very important and can often make or break a case.

"I had the pleasure to work with Marc on a custody matter in Bexar County and I was very impressed with him on a number of fronts. He is very knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and he is clearly invested in his client's causes. He is an aggressive advocate but he is also very professional and easy to work with, an oft underrated quality in someone who you're trusting to represent your interests at the negotiating table. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking for an outstanding family attorney in the San Antonio area."

I think anytime you can remain friends with a fellow lawyer despite the differences we have in advocating our clients is a sign of a true professional."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Marc is one of the most helpful, nicest guys you will ever meet, but he is a tough well-prepared advocate for his clients in court. He will go the extra mile to win his case. My highest recommendation."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Based on my experience working with him, and being his peer in the legal community, Marc Pederson is an ethical, devoted and thorough attorney, who zealously advocates for the best interest of his clients. He is the caliber of attorney that other attorneys seek his advice on addressing complex legal issues."
