For Gloucester County Law Firm Scott H. Marcus & Associates, Giving Back is a Way of Life

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J., June 17, 2011 – Although a significant part of his law firm's business is comprised of collecting money owed to other people, Scott Marcus of Scott H. Marcus & Associates is all about giving.

Philanthropy is in the firm's DNA, and Marcus can regularly be seen volunteering, fundraising or golfing at charitable tournaments in the region. For the bankruptcy attorney, the "Golden Rule" isn't just a trope, but a day-to-day part of Scott H. Marcus & Associates' business philosophy.

Marcus serves on Archway's Foundation Board of Trustees, and Scott H.
