Good defense work takes two different skills. Marcus has both.
Forceful when it counts, a listener first
In the courtroom Marcus is persuasive and direct, and he is comfortable cross-examining witnesses at trial. He has secured multiple "Not Guilty" verdicts in front of San Diego juries.
Most cases, though, are resolved before trial, and that work is quieter. It means listening closely, understanding what the judge, the prosecutor and the client each need, and negotiating a result that protects what matters most to you. Marcus works out the full picture before he decides how to approach your case.
Hablamos español
Marcus is bilingual in English and Spanish. He studied Spanish at the University of Virginia and spent a semester in Valencia, Spain. Spanish-speaking clients and families can talk through their case in the language they are most comfortable with.
