Paul began his legal career as a Deputy Public Defender for Los Angeles County, and tried cases in Downtown Los Angeles, Compton and Long Beach. Recruited by a large national lawfirm for his trial experience, he was assigned to high profile criminal and civil cases. He founded Marron Lawyers in 1995 and has grown the Firm from a solo practice to a litigation and outside general counsel firm dedicated to excellence and winning for clients. Mr. Marron has tried 35 cases to jury verdict and 30+ to judges, administrative tribunals and arbitrators. For plaintiffs, he has secured multiple judgments after trial of over $1M. For defendants, he has secured complete defense verdicts in trials where plaintiffs sought as much as 8 figure judgments.
Paul’s career includes numerous wins in bet-the-company cases. Clients have described him as a “legal sharpshooter.” After a lengthy trial, the judge described Paul as “among the finest litigators I’ve had in court.” In another case, plaintiff sought $5M. While under Mr. Marron’s cross examination, plaintiff fired his lawyer and dismissed his case the next day. Recently, Mr. Marron secured a finding of “independent contractor” status and a $1.1M+ judgment against the California Employment Development Department (EDD) in a 4.5 month trial in which EDD sought to re-classify 1500 independent contractors as employees and dismantle his client’s business model.
Paul has represented a wide range of clients, from Fortune 1000 companies to small businesses. Clients have brought him and his skilled team in to try cases across California, and in ID, CO & TN; and litigate in TX, AZ, OR, MI, MN, NY & FL.
