About Michael B. Marion

 

Mr. Marion’s practice cultivates intellectual property asset protection strategies for innovators and creators. After spending the first decade of his career working in a powerhouse patent boutique firm and a preeminent national firm, Mr. Marion brings that experience to his practice for clients both locally here in the Valley and across the country.
