At The Marshall Law, we work to bring the law to your corner, explore and explain the facts and options and how the laws may be applied, and to zealously advocate for your cause or situation. We are dedicated to understanding what results you want and to helping you understand what actions we can take on your behalf.  We will work with you every step of the way to make sure that you understand the choices you are making and feel empowered to make them.

Prior to his law career, John Marshall worked nearly two decades in healthcare and nursing.  He spent those years at the bedside in acute and critical care settings, caring for and serving people through difficult times.  He enjoyed nursing and caring for people when they most needed that help but, since his youth, he had also wanted to go to law school and become an attorney.  In 2010, John had the opportunity to fulfill that goal here in Syracuse.  He graduated from Syracuse University College of Law in 2013, where he was named on the Dean's List, researched and wrote on human rights issues, earned several academic awards, served in the Elder Law Clinic, and served as president of the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies.  He worked two years in general law practice and then, in 2015, he started this firm.  

He is a member of the American Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, Onondaga County Bar Association, The American Association of Nurse Attorneys, Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society, Golden Key International Honour Society, Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society, and Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity.  He has earned the Manlius Police Department's Lifesaving Award.  He previously served with pride on the Central New York Estate Planning Council and the Greater Baldwinsville Ambulance Corps Board of Directors. 

John Marshall has a proven track record of success. Although prior results do not guarantee a future outcome, we use the experiences gained to help you down a path to the results you need.
