DISTRICT 2

Committee Person Candidate

Marc Daffner

Marc Daffner has resided in Green Tree District 2 since 2006 and recently relocated his longstanding law firm, Daffner & Associates, from Downtown Pittsburgh to the Borough. Marc is 57 years old and lives with his wife, Randi, and their three children, two of whom are in the KO School District and one who is in college in New York.

He has served as the Chair of the Green Tree Civil Service Commission, overseeing personnel issues of the Green Tree Police Department, has been a member of the Democratic Committee since 2001, and is currently our elected State Constable, responsible for protection of our polling places on Election Day as well as serving in a general law enforcement capacity. He has also been both a sponsor and a coach for our GTAA soccer program, active in promoting KO youth cheer and football, and was instrumental as counsel for the Save Our Schools movement (when the district attempted to close Aiken Elementary in 2007).

A 1990 graduate of the University of Rochester (NY), Marc received his law degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1993. Over the past 32 years, he has personally handled thousands of legal matters in a wide variety of jurisdictions, in state and federal courts and at both the trial and appellate levels. He has represented clients in numerous high-profile cases, including some which have received national attention, and he is well-known throughout Pennsylvania as a top trial litigator.

Among his numerous recognitions, Marc has been repeatedly selected as a Pennsylvania “Super Lawyer,” placing him in the top 5% of attorneys in Pennsylvania, one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers, included among the Best Attorneys of America, and honored with the Martindale-Hubbell Client Service Award. He is a two-time honoree of the annual Pittsburgh Legal Excellence event and has been a judicial candidate.

An avid hockey player and USA Hockey Level 4 certified coach, Marc finally retired from the ice in his early 50s after nearly a lifetime of playing and left the hockey tradition to be carried on by the oldest of his children. When not driving his two youngest kids to their activities, Marc can often be found playing guitar, golfing, or riding his motorcycle.
