Marc J. Katzman

Marc grew up in an environment that was centered upon his father's small family business, which struggled over the years as larger conglomerates began encroaching on the small business markets. As a result, Marc not only developed a tremendous work ethic at an early age, but also acquired a kindred spirit to the "little guys."

After successful careers at UCLA and law school, Marc has taken the values he learned working with his father and the driving desire to champion the rights of the "little guys" and has put them to work in the legal field by representing seriously injured and financially damaged individuals and small businesses against the multinational corporations and insurance companies.

Marc joined the firm over twenty-five years ago and has always headed up the firm's case development efforts; coordinating investigation and development of initial handling and litigation strategies. Marc's efforts to assure that every case the firm handles is not only expertly, but expeditiously prepared, has often let to the discovery of important evidence which would have disappeared had he not worked so aggressively. Even more importantly, his expertise in proving liability in difficult cases has often been instrumental in the clients of Biren|Katzman with serious/ catastrophic injuries or who have suffered financial losses  achieving extraordinary recoveries.

Marc and his wife, Esther have two daughters. As a family, the Katzmans have always been committed to active participation in non profit, religious, and political organizations and have taught their children the virtues of community service. The family has participated in local programs to support our troops, feed the homeless, fund raising activities for the Women's Care Cottage (a shelter and rehabilitation program for homeless women and children) and support Guide Dogs of America, a program that trains seeing eye dogs for the blind.
