In addition to the numerous clients he has achieve favorable results in, Marshall has successfully argued a motion to dismiss on a life case resulting in a dismissal of the charges and enhancements making it a life case, suppressed evidence resulting in dismissals, and has been able to argue for release from jail over vehement objection by the prosecution on several occasions. Marshall also has achieved diversion in numerous cases, ranging from domestic violence cases, DUIs, and theft cases, ultimately resulting in dismissals. As the firm’s lead “post-conviction” attorney, he also has been able to get countless probations ended early, reduced felonies to misdemeanors, expunged records, sealed arrests, even vacated pleas due to immigration issues, and has removed clients from their duty to register under Penal Code 290.. He graduated cum laude from U.C. Hastings College of the Law, and holds a B.A. English and a B.S. in Political Science from Santa Clara University.. Before starting at the Silver Law Firm, Marshall was an integral part of Curtis Briggs’ and J. Tony Serra’s pro bono representation of California’s longest serving Death Row inmate. As an unparalleled example of police, prosecutor, and other misconduct, Marshall learned first hand how the system will stop at nothing to win, and how important it is to have a team that will fight your case.. Marshall previously interned at the San Francisco Department of Police Accountability, where he learned the intricacies of police procedure, revamped several community-building and outreach programs, and analyzed the best practices of other civilian oversight agencies.. In his final year of law school, Marshall interned at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office where he aided in the representation of numerous felony and misdemeanor cases and trials. Marshall also helped develop the office’s response to police misconduct by scrutinizing the changes brought by S.B. 1421 and outlining the weaknesses of the officer discipline process. As an intern for the nearly-created “Integrity Unit,” Marshall also assisted in a post-conviction felony murder resentencing that resulted in a Life Sentence reduced to 7 years and subsequent release.. With his proven track record of success, care and dedication to his clients, and passion for fighting the injustices in the criminal legal system, he will stop at nothing to get the best result possible.

Firm: Law Office of Mark A. Vickness

1939 Harrison Street , Oakland , California 94612

Practice Areas: Workers Compensation

The Vickness Law Firm is one of the leading firms in Northern California representing people injured at work. Founded by Mark Vickness, the firm is dedicated to providing the highest quality representation to injured workers. Our small firm strives to maintain a high level of personal service for our clients.. DEATH BENEFITS. When someone dies as a result of a work-related accident, illness or injury, that person’s dependents may be entitled to a death benefit. Minor children may receive the equivalent of temporary disability every two weeks until their eighteenth birthday. Claims for death benefits are routinely denied by insurance carriers. Establishing dependency can be a difficult process. Often times, a number of relatives may claim dependency. In one case, we represented a four-year-old and his mother living in Germany after his father died while working as a California Highway Patrol officer. Eight other people claimed to be dependents including an aunt and uncle living in Spain who flew to Sacramento for the trial. Ultimately, we succeeded in getting full death benefits for our client which included temporary disability payments until he reached the age of eighteen.. CATASTROPHIC INJURIES. Our firm specializes in representing people with work-related catastrophic injuries. Injuries resulting in paralysis and/or ventilator dependency require specialized knowledge and experience. Medical treatment for this type of injury is a complex issue. Nursing care, home health care, housing needs and home modification, wheelchair access, special transportation needs, and training for family members who desire to participate in providing care are just some of the issues that must be addressed. Making sure our clients have all of the treatment they need is of paramount importance. Beyond that, taking care of the family’s financial needs is critical. We have handled numerous cases involving paraplegia, quadriplegia, tetraplegia, severe burn injuries, loss of limbs and other catastrophic injuries.. PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS. Public safety officers (such as police and firefighters) are entitled to special benefits and protections under workers’ compensation law in recognition of the dangers they routinely deal with on behalf of the public. Mr. Vickness did his initial training in workers’ compensation with Yale Jones, Esq. (now retired), one of the pre-eminent specialists in representing public safety officers in California. As a result, Mr. Vickness has represented many public safety officers. He has a comprehensive understanding of – and sensitivity to – the issues that are critical to most police officers and firefighters such as the ability to return to work, retirement issues (city, county or PERS), and the potential for discrimination as a result of sustaining a work-related injury. In addition to workers’ compensation cases, Mr. Vickness has represented public safety officers in retirement and social security disability trials.. In one case, Mr. Vickness litigated on behalf of a police officer whose case was denied by the employer claiming that the officer’s injury had been intentionally self-inflicted. Mr. Vickness took that case to the California Court of Appeal and won, getting the denial reversed, full benefits for his client and a published, precedent setting decision that helps all injured workers in the future who face this type of denial. See Smith v. WCAB (2000) 79 Cal. 530; 65 CCC 277. In another case, Mr. Vickness represented a police officer whose case became much more complicated because the claims supervisor handling the case relentlessly tried to build a fraud case against the officer. The case ended well for the officer and very badly for the claims supervisor when Mr. Vickness turned the issue around and brought a fraud action against the claims supervisor.. DISCRIMINATION AGAINST INJURED WORKERS. There are several laws in California that prohibit employers from discriminating against people who are injured on the job. Unfortunately, despite these laws, employers frequently do just that. Mr. Vickness has brought many actions against employers in California. He has gone after the largest national employers, cities, counties and smaller companies as well successfully obtaining penalties and lost wages for his clients. Prior to specializing in workers’ compensation, Mr. Vickness litigated employment discrimination cases in superior court. Many workers’ compensation attorneys will not bother to pursue employers for discriminating against their employees because it takes a lot of effort to develop the evidence to present at trial. Mr. Vickness vigorously pursues these actions for his clients.. EXPERIENCE MATTERS. Workers’ compensation is an extremely technical area of the law. Mr. Vickness has fifteen years of experience litigating workers’ compensation cases. He has been certified by the California State Bar as a specialist in workers’ compensation law since 2002. He has lectured at numerous conferences and taken many cases to the California Court of Appeal. But expertise in the law only goes so far in this business. Workers’ compensation has its own culture and its own community. The personal relationships Mr. Vickness has developed over the years with doctors, defense attorneys, judges, translators and vocational experts is essential for getting results. A client of this firm will never be passed off to a junior associate.

Practice Areas: Personal Injury

For over 20 years, I built a successful law practice defending insurance companies and their clients in serious personal injury cases. Then, I had a profound realization. In 2008, I sat as a juror on a murder trial in Oakland, California. It gave me a new perspective on our justice system. When it was over, I knew I needed to make a change. Rather than defend big insurance, I knew I had to fight for people who have been seriously injured and need my help.. I don’t regret the time I spent “working behind enemy lines.” Because I have been on the other side, I know how to beat my opponents at their own game. Now, I use this insight to help my clients win.. I am a former college athlete, having swam and played water polo for the Golden Bears at UC Berkeley. My swimming career has given me invaluable strength and bravery when battling huge corporations with limitless resources.. I am a Super Lawyer, San Francisco Trial Attorney of the Year recipient, former President of the Alameda Contra Costa Trial Lawyers’ Association, Adjunct Faculty Member, and Warrior who knows how to win for my deserving clients.. I have recovered multiple millions of dollars on behalf of my clients in cases involving wrongful death, motor vehicle, motorcycle, and trucking accidents, dog bite and dog knock down related incidents, traumatic brain injuries, pedestrian related incidents, construction site accidents, slip / trip and falls, cases against public entities, and many other complex actions.. For the past decade I have worked with attorney Ethan Wimert and paralegal Andrea Searby, both stellar legal advocates for our clients.. Call me for a free consultation. Let us see if we are a good fit.
