Summary of Experience
Marcia M. LaCour works from the Firm’s Riverside, CA office. She has a degree in English from Middlebury College in Vermont and graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1991.
Marcia began her legal career at a well-respected 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. She 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.
She joined CMDA in 2009 and continues to represent injured folks while also returning to her roots defending governmental entities. In 2009 Marcia 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.
