About Marc
Biography
If Social Security has turned you down for benefits, even numerous times, we can help. With over 30 years of experience, we are one of the few law firms that can fight your case to Federal Court. I am admitted to both the California and Nevada bar as well as all federal courts in California and Nevada.
We speak your language. In common layman’s language. We explain your options and help you fill out your paperwork. We keep current on all new legislation and regulations to increase your chances of winning your case. We don’t charge for a consultation and if your condition prevents you from coming to our office, we can conduct a phone consultation. You only pay if we win your case and Social Security Administration and the courts approve our fees.

Marc was awesome. Every time I had a question or a concern he was always happy to assist. He is up to date with all the rules and law's concerning social security. The day we went to court he was very professional and that calmed me down. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family.
