Marc Charles Gordon was a respected Nevada attorney whose legal career spanned decades in Las Vegas.

He went on to receive his law degree from Pepperdine University School of Law in 1978, the same year he became a member of the State Bar of Nevada.
Over the course of his career, Marc built a distinguished practice focused on commercial and real estate law, earning a reputation for his sharp mind, steady judgment, and deep knowledge of his field. He practiced at his brother's firm, Gordon and Silver, later co-founded Berkley and Gordon, and subsequently served as General Counsel for Yellow Checker Star. Colleagues remembered him for his fairness, practical wisdom, and unwavering professionalism.
Beyond the practice of law, Marc was a lifelong entrepreneur. He created and patented the SleepMaster sleep mask, developed alongside Cynthia Callendar Gordon, which went on to become a top-selling product. He passed away on March 4, 2026, at the age of 72.
