Certifications: In 1991, Marc was certified by the State Bar Board of Legal Specialization as a specialist in Workers' Compensation Law. He served three years on the Workers' Compensation Advisory Commission, as vice chair 1993-1994 and chair 1994-1995.

Respected by employers as the applicant attorney they would most like to represent them if they were injured, Marcus has earned a reputation as a tough litigator and defender of injured workers. He’s been particularly active in representing his clients regarding the Almaraz/Guzman & Ogilvie decisions. His expertise in this field and in the legal nuances of return-to-work has made him a coveted speaker at events hosted by workers’ comp professionals. He is an active member of the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association, having served on its numerous governance committees and spoken at its major events. In 2002, he worked closely with Governor Gray Davis and the Legislature on AB 749, which resulted in one of the largest benefits increases in history and greatly expanded workers’ rights. Lately, he has been championing the position that the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) begins January 1, 2004 regardless of the date of injury, a position most advantageous to his clients. The issue is the subject of a court case: Duncan v. WCAB.
