Marcus’ interest in the legal field was sparked at a young age; he has always been enamored by movie and television scenes depicting lawyers working late, sleeves rolled up, eating take-out Chinese food and figuring out a solution to an ominous problem.

As a lawyer, Marcus doesn’t have a lot of free time, but what little he has he enjoys spending with his wife and two children, cooking up something creative in the kitchen, or reading John Grisham novels.
