Professional Overview

He works closely with a dedicated team that focuses exclusively on supporting individuals with disabilities through every phase of the claims process. Known for his strategic approach and compassionate advocacy, Marc is committed to guiding clients through applications, appeals, litigation, and settlement negotiations.
Commitment to Clients & Case Outcomes
Having recovered millions of dollars in benefits for his clients, Marc measures success by the strength and quality of his advocacy rather than the size of the claim. Marc recognizes the financial hardships his clients face and handles almost all cases on a contingency fee basis—sharing in the risk and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with his clients in their fight for justice.
A Reputation for Tough Cases
Marc has built a reputation for taking on complex and challenging cases that many attorneys are unwilling to handle. From initial filings to appeals at the federal appellate level, Marc is relentless in his pursuit of justice. While other attorneys may seek a quick settlement, Marc remains committed to achieving the best possible outcome—whether through litigation or strategic negotiation.
ERISA & Private Disability Litigation
Marc is a seasoned and tenacious ERISA and private disability litigator. He has successfully represented clients in hundreds of disability cases across the country, both in and out of the courtroom. He has litigated against every major disability insurer, including New York Life, MetLife, Prudential, Unum, The Hartford, Lincoln Financial, MassMutual, Equitable, Guardian, Aetna, The Standard, Sun Life, and Reliance Standard.
Marc’s practice spans the entire life cycle of a disability claim—from initial applications and claim denials to federal lawsuits and settlement negotiations. He is particularly skilled in handling appeals of denied or terminated disability claims, meticulously building persuasive records to reverse unfavorable decisions. In addition, he is highly experienced in negotiating favorable lump-sum buyouts when such resolutions are in his client’s best interest, securing both immediate relief and long-term financial stability.
