Marc Pera
Attorney | 844-279-2889
From an early age, Marc was taught the importance of helping others. That is why he loves being a trial lawyer who helps those who have suffered catastrophic injuries or lost loved ones because of the negligence of others.
After graduating from The Ohio State University College of Law in 1996, Marc initially worked for medium and large-sized firms representing insurance companies and big corporations. Through this experience, he learned how these companies evaluate and defend claims.
Once Marc gained this experience, he realized he would rather help those who were injured by negligence than protect the profit margins of insurance companies. So in 2002, Marc began representing victims of catastrophic injury and loss of life a result of medical negligence, ordinary negligence, and trucking negligence.
Passionate about what he does, Marc has been named to the “Top 50 Cincinnati” and “Top 100 Super Lawyers” lists by Law and Politics and Cincinnati Magazine every year since 2013. He was also named either a Super Lawyer or Rising Star by those same publications in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Marc is a member of the National Trial Lawyers Top 100 and the National Trial Lawyers Medical Malpractice Top 25. He is ranked “Superb” by Avvo with a perfect 10 out of 10 ranking.
Marc teaches other lawyers frequently. He has given lectures to lawyers at the Ohio Association for Justice, the Southwest Ohio Trial Lawyers Association, the Cincinnati Bar Association, the Clermont County Bar Association, the Montgomery County Bar Association, and the Florida Bar Association. Marc is a member of the Board and a Trustee for the Ohio Association for Justice, and Vice President of the Southwest Ohio Trial Lawyers Association.
Marc has been married for over 25 years and has three children. When he isn’t practicing law, he can usually be found at one of his kids’ games or on the golf course. Marc manages Crandall and Pera’s Cincinnati and Dayton offices and represents individuals throughout Ohio and Kentucky.
