Partner at Marcus & Mack
Marcus & Mack’s founder, Robert (Bob) Marcus, opened the doors of this law firm more than 40 years ago. Throughout his legal career, Bob has served as a tireless and passionate advocate for his clients. In fact, Bob’s reputation for his fearless representation has earned him continual recognition by national organizations for his skill as a personal injury attorney. Bob has been repeatedly listed as Top 100 Civil Trial Lawyer in Pennsylvania by the National Association of Trial Lawyers. He has also been recognized by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel as a member of the “Nation’s Top One Percent”.
While Bob is proud of the recognition that has been bestowed upon him by his colleagues and competitors in the legal market, Bob is most proud of the culture that he has created at Marcus & Mack. Bob’s father owned a car dealership and Bob eventually took over that family business. One of the first things that Bob learned about owning a business in a small town was that great customer service is the key to staying in business. Bob brought that mentality to his law firm. Every single day, Bob stresses the importance of communicating with our clients and making sure that they know we truly have their best interests at heart.
