Gerald Marcus Attorney | Top Lawyers in America

Senior Counsel

Gerald Marcus has been a practicing attorney since 1987. Prior to that, he worked as a private investigator for a large personal injury law firm in the San Fernando Valley since 1980. He was their primary negligence investigator, working right under the senior partners of the firm and helping them develop and prepare cases for trial and settlement. The experience Mr. Marcus gathered as a negligence investigator inspired his commitment to advocating for innocent injury victims against the insurance industry.

Mr. Marcus graduated from California State University, Northridge and earned his JD from the Southern California Institute of Law, attending the Ventura College of Law campus. He completed the four-year law school curriculum six months early while still working full time in his position as a negligence investigator.

Mr. Marcus has represented roughly 12,000 clients since 1987 and has obtained around $125 million in arbitration awards, verdicts, and settlements for his clients. He is a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the Consumer Attorneys of California, the Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the San Fernando Valley Bar Association, and the State Bar of California. Mr. Marcus has been included in the list of California Super Lawyers each year from 2014 to 2017. Only 5% of attorneys in the nation are selected for this list. The National Association of Distinguished Counsel also included him in “The Nation’s Top One Percent” in 2015 and also in their list of the “Nation’s Top Attorneys” in 2017. The Top Attorneys list includes merely 1% of attorneys in the United States.

Mr. Marcus is passionately committed to his philosophy that each injured victim merits the highest quality legal representation, regardless of their finances or the complexity or size of their case. His philosophy, condensed into a single sentence, is that every victim deserves to have their case prosecuted aggressively and intelligently, and their interests protected so they can receive the maximum recovery for their case.

Mr. Marcus is proud of his status as a creative, tough, and fair representative and advocate. He surrounds himself with a hand-picked team of highly trained individuals who share his principals and philosophy. He is active in his local community and provides support to several charitable organizations in his role as Honorary Board of Governors member for the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers’ Charities. He is also their Treasurer and a member of their Board of Directors.

Mr. Marcus has been married to his wife for over 30 years and together, they have two daughters and two dogs. Mr. Marcus is also a sports fan, rooting for the L.A. Clippers.
