Pro Bono Work
The recipient of multiple awards of distinction, including the 2017 Martindale-Hubbell Award for Client Champion Silver Distinction, and the 2013 Stewart Title Insurance Company’s Excellence Award for Claims Prevention, Marc Rovner is a native of East Rockaway, New York, who has worked as an attorney for over 30 years.

Animal Welfare Advocate
Outside of his professional endeavors, Marc Rovner is an animal welfare advocate who supports the work of the Puppy Love Pet Rescue animal shelter.
​
Puppy Love Pet Rescue facilitates pet adoptions, provides affordable veterinary care, and organizes awareness campaigns on the dangers of inhumane breeders. The organization educates the public on the benefits of adopting a pet from a shelter rather than from a pet store or breeder. The commercialization of animals has resulted in a rise of puppy mills, where in-demand dog species are bred irresponsibly and kept in unsanitary and crowded conditions.
2004 Children's Rights Council Man Of The Year
Marc Rovner also contributes his time to community organizations, such as the Children’s Rights Council (CRC) for which he was awarded Council Man of the Year in 2004.
Of the organization’s many activities, CRC is involved in facilitating parental involvement regardless of the circumstance of the parents’ separation. The organization’s mission is to be an advocate for children by making sure that both parents play a role in the child’s life, and the CRC does through advocacy and its access centers.
CRC Access Centers collaborate with the court system to initiate planned meetings between children and their parents-both supervised visitation and monitored transfer access service. The three Access Center locations are Hyattsville, Brandywine, and Anne Arundel County.
Garden Of Dreams Foundation
Outside of his professional pursuits, Marc Rovner contributes to the Garden of Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps children in need.
Since 2008, Garden of Dreams has helped to enrich the lives of over 310,000 children and their families. The organization hosts over 500 programs and events annually.
New York State Bar Association (NYSBA)
As part of his ongoing education and career development as an attorney, Marc Rovner belongs to several professional organizations, including the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA).
The NYSBA recently announced a joint initiative with the Women's Bar Association of the State of New York (WBASNY) to help provide access to legal services for those who have experienced domestic violence.
Many victims of domestic abuse have limited resources and access to adequate legal assistance, specifically in matters of protection orders and finding safe housing, as well as child custody, visitation and support.
