Marcia M. LaCour recently joined the Firm as an associate attorney in our Riverside, CA office.

She began her legal career at a firm in San Bernardino, CA handling all aspects of civil litigation defense with a focus on cases involving school and transit buses and public entity liability. Ms. LaCour next worked as house-counsel for a mid-size insurance company for eight years and was assigned to assist the Special Investigation Unit on cases where insurance fraud was suspected. Because of her ability to resolve cases expeditiously and economically, she was one of only a few attorneys nationwide given personal settlement authority of $25K per plaintiff. Marcia spent the next seven years running a successful plaintiff personal injury and consumer law practice in Riverside, CA.

At CMDA, she concentrates her practice on Municipal Law, Personal Injury Defense Litigation, General Liability Defense and Prevention and Labor and Employment Law. Earlier this year, Ms. LaCour completed mediation training provided by the well-respected Straus Institute at Pepperdine School of Law. She volunteers as a mediator and arbitrator for the Riverside court system and also serves on that court’s Bench-Bar Committee.

She has a degree in English from Middlebury College in Vermont and graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1991.
