Marc has represented Immersion Corporation in a variety of intellectual property matters, including in arbitration, federal court, and the International Trade Commission. On behalf of Oracle America, he was second chair on the patent phase of the battle against Google over the Android operating system—a case that the court dubbed the “World Series of IP Cases.”. He defended Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment (China), a Shanghai-based manufacturer of advanced semiconductor fabrication equipment, against accusations by Applied Materials of trade secret misappropriation. Marc obtained a precedential court opinion regarding the rights of California inventors to their inventions, which ruled that Applied Materials’ standard employment agreements were illegal under California law because they purported to require former employees to assign inventions they made after leaving the company. The case settled on confidential terms shortly before trial.. Marc helped obtain summary judgment on behalf of California’s foster parents, in a pro bono case brought with the Children’s Advocacy Institute. California was adjudged to have violated federal law by failing to calculate and pay for the actual costs of raising foster children. As a direct result of the state’s failure to reimburse foster parents as required by federal law, California’s foster care system is less effective and more expensive than it should be. For their work, the Morrison & Foerster team received the 2010 President’s Pro Bono Service Award from the California State Bar, and the case was selected as one of five Outstanding Pro Bono Projects of 2010 by The Daily Journal.

I am a California State Bar Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law, the only one in Redwood City as of 6/24/14.  I have been practicing this law for 30 years.  I am also on the Labor Commitee of the California Applicant's Attorney's Association, the organization for California Workers' Compensation Atttornies.  I have published articles in CAAMents, the CAAA house magazine, getMedlegal Magazine and many other publications over time.. Before becoming a lawyer, I worked for the AFL-CIO for 10 years in a variety of capacities organizing the Frontlash voter registration project from the San Francisco Labor Council, union and political organizer, a stint on the Hubert Humphrey campaign for President and running a project to promote traning programs and job placement for the disadvantaged..

For over twenty years I have successfully represented indivduals like you  and your loved ones against the power of the the police and prosecutors.

Ever since I was a kid I always rooted for the underdog. Just because one side has the power, money and influence doesn’t mean they should get their way. The law is supposed to treat all people equally, however, it often doesn’t unless you have a strong advocate on your side. I represent regular people in cases against insurance companies and thier employers. These are entities with nearly unlimited resources, power and influence. Injured workers often do not know how to navigate a complex insurance bureaucracy that is designed to limit care, costs and compensation so the employer saves money and insurance companies make a profit. People in these scenarios should never go it alone. I fight for regular people who find themselves in difficult if not impossible situations. I have devoted my career to helping the little guy succeed. At my office I tailor a legal strategy for each individual client--there is no one size fits all approach. I fight tirelessly so that my clients receive every benefit and protection available by law. Let ME work for YOU.
