About Us

Statement From Our Founder

Since opening the Law Offices of Marc Grossman in 1998, it has become my life’s primary privilege and honor to serve so many in our community through our Law Firm. I have done and do so with both the pride and the burden of carrying on a family legacy of trust, integrity and respect. I can trace this legacy back to my grandparents who settled in Ontario nearly 100 years ago. As a small child accompanying my father around town 50 years ago, folks would stop to tell me about my wonderful grandparents who had been so helpful to them and who had such a positive impact on their lives. That sense of awe and admiration drove me even more 30 years later as a young attorney when folks around town would stop my kids to tell them how much my father had helped them through difficult and challenging times. Before passing in 2021, my father was an Elder Law Attorney and devoted his professional life to helping local clients with their estate and end of life issues, at a time when they needed someone they could trust.

I grew up in Upland, attended Upland High School and even substitute taught there during law-school. I have raised my children in Upland where they are the fourth generation of my family that will have both the pride and burden of a good name in the community. In addition to my proud local roots, I am also guided by my Jewish faith to fulfill the principal of “Tikkun Olam” which means it is my duty to engage in various forms of action to repair and improve the world. I do this by bringing Trust, Integrity and Respect to the way I provide professional services and in this way I also honor my family’s good name and reputation which is my duty to bear.

Why Free Consultations? It is my business philosophy and promise to every person who walks across my door to give them the same advice I would as if they were my brother, sister, best friend, or family member. Unlike firms who only practice in a single practice area, it has been my business practice and philosophy to create the biggest window of opportunity for helping people to give them the best advice even when it is contrary to my own best interest. Where there are alternate, cheaper or other paths to deal with a situation, I will always do my best to help my clients explore whatever is in their best interest. Clients are often astounded when I provide them better or alternate ways of solving their problems other than by hiring me. As rare as it is in the current and local professional environment, putting my client’s interests first is how we ensure that the legacy of Trust, Integrity, and Respect will continue.
