The BEST of the best!

Marc is both skilled and supportive. I was hesitant to file a lawsuit against a former employer, and Marc was attentive to my concerns and was never pushy. Since he has a background in defense, he was able to anticipate and prepare for the defense's strategy. In the end, he was successful in securing... the resolution I wanted, and I could not be happier with the results. He was extremely responsive, replying to all my emails (and there were a lot) quickly, and he proactively checked in with me often just to make sure I was okay throughout the entire process. Litigation can be emotionally exhausting, and I am grateful to have had an attorney who made everything easy for me! Even now that my claims have been resolved, Marc has stayed in touch with me as I negotiate my new job offer elsewhere. You can tell he actually cares about his clients. I NEVER thought anything good would come out of my former employment situation, but I am so lucky to have met Marc as a result, and that he is still willing to advise me. He's THE BEST, and I HIGHLY recommend him!

Professional and thorough

Marc has represented my company in a couple of labor matters. He exemplifies competency, professionalism and gave each case thorough and complete attention. I have always been more than satisfied with his preparation, case review and updates on case status. He has mediated and saved our company th...ousands and thousands of dollars in settlements on spurious claims.

Help with Employment Practices

Marc assisted our company with handling a DFEH claim. This was the first time I had experience with such a claim so assistance was required. Marc was very helpful by telling me what to expect through the process, clearly explaining the material the company needed to supply, explaining all possible op...tions, and best practices for growing forward. I felt he listened and responded well and timely to my concerns and questions. Currently he is assisting with our Employee Handbook and again has provided timely responses and exactly what we ask for. The company has been happy with his service and decided to keep him on retainer for all future needs.

Ex-Landlord

I had an ex-landlord that disappeared for two years. Feeling uncomfortable with the situation, I sent my 30-day notice to her last known address once we lost contact with her. Two years later she resurfaced and tried to sue me for two years of past due rent and for various other things. She showed up... at my workplace, unannounced and left the documents at our front desk. I consulted with Marc, whom I had attended college with. He reviewed all the facts and all the paperwork the ex-landlord had filed against me. He then filed a motion to have the suit dropped due to improper service and incorrect filings. She never showed up for the court date so the case was dropped. The ex-landlord again tried to serve me with the same documents for the same things. Again, Marc filed the motion to have the suit dropped for the same reasons as previously noted above. He again attended the court date, on my behalf, for which the ex-landlord actually showed up. He handled the situation with extreme professionalism, even when she threatened to report him to the State Board for numerous false accusations. The suit was eventually dropped for good. Marc answered all my questions in a timely manner and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone who asks. He is an extremely knowledgeable and professional attorney.

Efficient at Settling Complex Issues

Marc did a great job settling our case and in conveying the way I felt and wanted to honor the plaintiff against us and not do anything mean or nasty which litigation tends to provoke and was a reasonable settlement.
