His career is fueled by a genuine, singular passion for criminal justice and a deep-seated belief in protecting the constitutional rights of every individual who finds themselves facing the power of the state. Marc’s journey to his current role was built on a long-standing foundation of leadership and professional independence. Before joining his current team, he spent over 25 years successfully navigating the complexities of the legal world as both a partner in a firm and as a sole practitioner.

For Marc, the practice of law is a true calling, centered on the idea that every person deserves a perfect advocate to fight for their rights.
