In June of 2017, Sam was elected by the Virginia State Bar Council to serve a three year term as a member of the Fifth District Committee, Section III.  District Committees serve as a core function of the Virginia State Bar's disciplinary system, as District Committees (and their subcommittees) oversee investigations of complaints of misconduct against attorneys, adjudicate the claims, refer cases to the statewide Disciplinary Board where a sanction of suspension or disbarment might be warranted, and issue lesser sanctions.  In this role, Sam helps to preserve the integrity of the legal profession in Virginia, and protect the public from unethical conduct by attorneys..

Marcus Hirsch is the founder and senior partner of the Law Office of Marcus B. Hirsch, LLC. He handles family, civil, traffic, and “light” criminal matters, along with a whole host of randomly intriguing cases brought to him that keep law work interesting. These cases oftentimes start with clients asking, “Do you do (insert strangely unique circumstances and type of case)?”. Marcus grew up in the year-round warmth and sunny tropical comfort of West Palm Beach, Florida, but wound up in the snow and coldness of Milwaukee after graduation from Marquette University Law School in 2015. He is well-known among friends and colleagues for paying homage to his roots by wearing sandals despite the extreme Wisconsin weather until it’s absolutely impractical and borderline dangerous for the health of his feet.. In his spare time, Marcus supports the local South Florida professional sports teams (especially the Florida Panthers and Miami Heat), and as a University of Miami alum, the Hurricanes. He can be found skating for one of his two adult hockey league teams, on a softball field chasing down fly balls in the outfield, or in front of a TV cheering and willing his fantasy sports franchise, The Jabronis, to victory.
