About Marc
Marc Girling built an unconventional academic path before settling into law. He began at the Virginia Military Institute, where he completed a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Years later he returned to the classroom to earn an MBA from the University of Phoenix, and then a J.D. from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law. The sequence suggests a broad set of interests that led him to the practice of law.
Those degrees opened doors. Girling is admitted to practice in Texas and before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He maintains current memberships in professional associations. Public records list his jurisdictions as Texas and the Fifth Circuit, which shapes the types of matters he takes on and the courts where he appears.
Girling’s resume does not rely on a single track. The MBA before law school signals experience attuned to business concerns. The law degree followed, allowing him to blend legal training with commercial awareness. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing filings and focused during oral argument. He tends to approach cases by parsing the factual record and then framing legal questions the appellate courts will recognize.
Throughout his career he has worked on matters that require both trial-level handling and appellate advocacy. That combination is reflected in the dual jurisdictions he holds. Practicing in Texas courts and before the Fifth Circuit means a steady mix of state-court disputes and federal appeals. He files briefs, argues motions, and appears at hearings where written advocacy and oral presentation matter in equal measure.
Girling keeps ties to the legal community through ongoing association membership. He participates in continuing legal education and stays current on developments in Texas law and federal appellate practice. He does not hold a publicly listed law office name in available summaries, and biographical notes focus largely on his education and admitted jurisdictions rather than firm affiliations.
He approaches client matters in a straightforward manner, emphasizing clarity in brief writing and discipline in courtroom presentation. Today Girling practices in Texas and appears before the Fifth Circuit, handling civil litigation and appellate matters in those courts.
