Commitment to Community
At Markarian Law Group, we believe that the most important thing someone can do is what they do for others. We’re inspired by men and women who use their resources to enrich their communities. As such, we’ve made it our mission to serve and help where we can. Chris Markarian makes it a practice to invest in his community in a variety of ways. He is a dedicated individual who believes in the power of community involvement. He has always been passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and has consistently demonstrated his commitment through his numerous community initiatives.

One of Chris’s most notable community involvement projects was the initiative he took to start a volunteer emergency response team for the City of Yucaipa. In times of crises and uncertainty, having a well-trained and efficient emergency response team can be a lifesaver. Chris saw that Yucaipa was lacking in this and engaged with local officials to start CERT or Community Emergency Response Team. He has continued to lead yearly classes for CERT for the past 8 years and now many in the city are more equipped to handle whatever emergencies could come our way.
In addition to his work with CERT, Chris has also been actively involved and supported various charities and non-profits. He has served as president and treasurer of the Yucaipa Rotary Club and as a Rotarian makes every effort to enrich his community through the City Christmas Parade, holiday baskets for families in need, scholarships for local high school students, and many more avenues of service. He continues to support various local organizations including Carol’s Kitchen, the Calimesa Lion’s Club, and many more.

Recently, Chris saw the need to support his community by helping to ease incidents of drunk driving. Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of deaths in our country, and unfortunately around the holidays, the rate of buzzed or drunk driving only increases. This New Year’s Eve, in an effort to limit the number of deaths as a result of drunk drivers, Markarian Law Group sponsored free Lyft rides to citizens of Yucaipa. Throughout the year, we hope to continue to offer these rides on significant holidays during which people typically consume more alcohol that usual.
