Martin was born in 1974 in Gdynia, Poland which, at the time, was a nominally independent communist dictatorship occupied by the USSR.  The economic conditions were generally bleak under communist rule.  They became even worse in 1981 when the Polish government, at the request of the USSR, crushed the Solidarity movement and imprisoned its leaders for seeking political and economic change.  When Martin was 9 years old, he and his parents moved to a small desert town in Libya where his father taught at a university and his mother worked as an engineer in a factory to earn dollars and make ends meet.  After three eventful and surreal years of living in a country ruled by the late Muammar Gaddafi, one of the craziest dictators of our time, Martin and his parents immigrated to Germany.  Martin stopped the home schooling that he received from his parents and other professors in Libya and began attending a German middle school.  To make things more interesting he did not know any German.. By the time he learned sufficient German to communicate with his classmates and understand his teachers, Martin and his parents immigrated to the US.  However, to keep Martin on his toes, his parents decided to transition him from mid-5th grade in a German school in Munich to mid-8th grade at a Louisville Kentucky middle school.  This effectively caused Martin to skip almost all of middle school while learning English as a second language and obtaining a scholarship to a ritzy private high school.  He drove an old Ford escort without AC (or power anything) to school and proudly parked it next to the other students’ BMWs and Volvos.. After graduating from high school at the age of 17, Martin began attending the University of Chicago in 1991.  At this intensely competitive and scholastically focused university (where one of its president is credited with saying “When I get the urge to exercise, I lay down until it goes away”), Martin earned the distinction of being on the Dean’s List, and received the Humana Scholarship.  Martin graduated from the University of Chicago in 1994 with a double major in English literature and Polish literature in a little over three years.  Martin then attended Cornell University Law School between 1995 and 1998, an Ivy League institution, and doubled up on law school work graduating with a J.D. and LLM in just three years rather than the usual four years.  He earned the Kosciuszko Foundation Scholarship, and attended a summer program at the Sorbonne University in Paris.  Martin clerked for the Kentucky Supreme Court and two law firms during law school and started to practice law when he was just 24 years old.. Martin started as an associate at Squire Sanders – now one of the ten largest firms in the world – where he practiced corporate law and litigation before moving to the Bay Area to work in smaller firms and eventually starting his own practice.  By the time he was 28, Martin had tried three cases to judgment, one of which resulted in a defense judgment for his client, and the other two with his clients collecting over $400,000 in damages.  Not long after that he obtained his first $1 million dollar result in a personal injury case in which he was the lead trial attorney.  During his 15 years as a lawyer, Martin tried, arbitrated and mediated many cases often successfully taking on very challenging cases that other attorneys had given up on.  He has always felt like the underdog and that is why he strongly prefers to represent the “little guys” and taking the fight to the large corporations and insurance companies.. Martin is a student of advocacy and is working towards completion of Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College.  He was admitted in Ohio in 1998 and California in 2001.  Martin has taught various legal subjects at San Francisco State University and the Academy of Law and Diplomacy in Gdynia, Poland.  When he isn’t working away at the office, Martin enjoys rock climbing, running, reading history books and, most of all, spending time with his daughter Isabella and wife Unsook..

Firm: Law Office of Marcie Gardner

10788 Civic Center Dr Ste 240 , Rancho Cucamonga , California 91730

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

Marcie Gardner is devoted to the vigorous representation of adults and juveniles accused of all types of crimes, ranging from complex murder cases to simple traffic tickets (and everything in between!). As one of the few attorneys in the area with extensive experience in both adult criminal and juvenile delinquency defense, her practice’s dual-focus has also led Marcie to develop a unique expertise representing students facing public school expulsion hearings. Through her juvenile practice, Marcie learned that very few attorneys were familiar with the ins and outs of the California Education Code. Because expulsions are occurring with increasing frequency, Marcie felt compelled to learn these procedures to help her juvenile clients outside of the courtroom. Marcie also helps clients clean up any convictions on their criminal record (expungements, certificates of rehabilitation and petitions for factual innocence).. Marcie has been a lawyer since 1997. After receiving honors for graduating in the top 5% of her UC Davis law school class, Marcie became an associate at the Los Angeles office of the prestigious law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP. There, Marcie was involved in cutting-edge, complex civil litigation. Her practice was geared to defense of corporate clients. Marcie balanced out her career with pro bono cases, including guardianship matters, litigating an inmate’s federal civil rights jury trial and assisting with the investigation and drafting of a habeas petition for a death row inmate. These pro bono matters reminded Marcie that her true passion was to fight for people whose liberties were at stake. While grateful for the high-caliber legal work she experienced at the civil firm, Marcie felt her career would be much more satisfying if she could help people facing the prospect of jail or prison rather than working on cases where company profits were the bottom line. Marcie turned her efforts back to criminal defense, the field which she fell in love with after her first high school mock trial competition at age 16.  During law school, she worked for the Federal Public Defender’s Office, the Sacramento Mediation Center, and the Prison Law Office.  For the latter, Marcie advocated for administrative relief for prisoners across the state who suffered many types of injustices while incarcerated. Thus, in 2003, Marcie formed a Rancho Cucamonga-based criminal defense partnership with another attorney. For seven years, Marcie worked tirelessly on behalf of hundreds of clients. Marcie represented adults and juveniles facing criminal prosecution in all types of cases.  She also represented students facing expulsion proceedings in San Bernardino, Riverside and Los Angeles counties. In 2011, Marcie opened her own law office, still based in Rancho Cucamonga. Just as before, Marcie practices adult criminal and juvenile delinquency defense work. Marcie accepts each case understanding that it is not just a "case" for her clients - it can be a potentially life-changing, nerve-wracking experience for each client. For clients who want or need to go to trial, Marcie pursues a "no stone unturned" defense. For clients who prefer to resolve their cases before trial, Marcie attempts to find creative solutions while keeping her clients' priorities in mind.. Marcie has experience in courthouses throughout San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties. Having represented clients in these areas since 2003, Marcie has built a solid reputation and maintained good relationships with judges, court staff and deputy district attorneys in these areas. By retaining Marcie as your attorney, you know exactly who your attorney is and can be confident she will use her experience, reputation and training to your benefit.. Finally, Marcie’s ties to this area are deeper than her law firm practice. She graduated from the University of Redlands with a degree in political science in 1994, having co-founded the University’s first Mock Trial program and leading it to national recognition. A firm believer in community service and outreach, Marcie founded and became the first President of ieLAW – the Inland Empire Legal Association of Women. ieLAW is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated, in part, to advancing the interests of women in the community. In just a few years, ieLAW has sponsored numerous events to help struggling members of this community. For example, ieLAW has hosted holiday parties at a local shelter for abused or runaway teens, mock trials at disadvantaged elementary schools, and organized food drives for the needy. Marcie and this organization were featured in The Inland Empire Magazine in 2010.. Several years ago, Marcie developed a volunteer organization for students at a local elementary school, which she still spearheads to this day. Through this group, Marcie has assisted students in a wide variety of community projects, such as: writing holiday cards to soldiers; donating Halloween candy to charitable groups; funding a sick child’s wish through the inspiring Make-A-Wish Foundation; gathering hundreds of needed items for the Inland Valley Humane Society; donating hundreds of books, DVD’s and stuffed animals for hospitalized children; and donating over 800 pairs of shoes to the Haiti earthquake victims. Moreover, Marcie is a Board Member of a local Educational Foundation.. These experiences have fostered a sense of compassion in Marcie which has carried over to her law practice to the benefit of her clients.

These include a $12-million asbestos verdict for a 65-year-old Navy veteran diagnosed with mesothelioma decades after working in the engine rooms aboard ship, a $9.9-million verdict for a 74-year-old former stillman and rigger at an oil refinery where he was exposed to asbestos-containing equipment and components, a nearly $1.8-million verdict for a 62-year-old mesothelioma victim who was a Navy yard welder and pipefitter, and a $3-million settlement extracted from a company that supplied asbestos-laden pipe to a repairman who breathed deadly dust using it in residential HVAC work in Marc’s hometown of El Segundo, California. These and many more impressive triumphs contributed to Mr. Willick being named a "Southern California Rising Star" of the legal profession by Super Lawyers magazine.
