"We wish to thank you for your help and advice in our filing for
Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Without professional help I don't believe we
would have succeeded in successfully accomplishing an approval for our
request. Your services were handled in a timely and professional
manner, which we appreciated very much. We also appreciate your
timely response to all of our concerns and questions. We
certainly would recommend your services to anyone."
TLM and LM. Fountain Valley, California--January, 2002
"As my wife and I are both self employed on fairly new jobs, we were
not looking forward to our meeting with the trustee. Our interview with
the trustee lasted probably less then 2 minutes. Nothing but
basic question. We feel it's because all required paperwork were
correctly completed, and submitted. Everything went very smoothly.
Thanks a lot, Mark."
R.O. and S.O. San Diego, California--February, 2002
"Arriving at the conclusion that bankruptcy was the solution to my
financial situation was an intensely painful and private process for
me. It was great to be able to be able to research and execute this
process from the comfort and privacy of my PC. I do not think I would
have been comfortable doing this any other way.
I found Mark to be very accessible and prompt in our exchanges, and he
was able to bring a clarity to my situation that I would not have
achieved on my own.
I think that Mark's site and his services are a very creative way to
use the net and I was pleased to be able to accomplish so much out of
what started as cruising the web for info on bankruptcy.
I would not hesitate to recommend his services."
PW Los Angeles--February, 2002
"We would recommend Mark Markus to anyone considering bankruptcy. He
was always respectful and courteous. He answered our endless questions
in a timely matter. We mostly communicated through email, which was
convenient and effective for us. The Trustee's Meeting was almost
effortless, all of our paperwork was completed correctly and the
meeting lasted only minutes. Thank you, Mark, for your services."
M.C. and K.C., Ventura County--February, 2002
"First of all, thanks. Filing bankruptcy is a scary process and having
the right lawyer is crucial. You were the right lawyer for us. I can’t
emphasize enough how much the promptness of your communication eased
our minds. You usually answered questions within minutes, often at
hours that I never expected an immediate reply. You can’t believe the
immense value of such a customer orientation. But, after all, it is
outcome that counts. We asked of you to help us: keep our house, keep
our car, and keep the stuff in our house. You accomplished all three
without controversy. Finally, our case was complex and required more
expertise and work than most. Again, you came through. I hold you in
high regard and recommend you without reservation."

"Mark, your personal attention to my case is very much appreciated.
Filing for Chapter 7 was a much less stressful process than I though it
would be. Your initial phone call was very helpful and informative and
the pre-done forms to fill out made it real easy to look at my
situation and make the initial decision. From then on, I really
appreciated the fact that we were able to do all of it by e-mail. I
believe that I made the right choice in lawyers to represent my case.
You answered every question and returned phone calls promptly, and I
indeed had many questions which you always answered almost immediately.
This is very important to make the process much more sane. I was
properly prepped for my Creditor's meeting and all went, as expected,
very smoothly. I have already recommended you to a friend that may need
your services."

"It all started with the same mistake most of us make, accruing too
much debt, being able to manage minimum payments, then wham! In
my case it was losing my job post Sept.11, months after buying our
first house. The bills began to mount on the house and although
we stayed current on our monthly payments, it was clear after 6 months
of a fruitless job search that we need to take control of our future
using the means afford us by law. A difficult decision,
yes. Shameful, no. But who to trust? Seeking advice
or referrals from friends and family made us uncomfortable.
Newspaper and Yellow Page ads touting "cheap bankruptcy" made me
uncomfortable. But I didn't want to be taken to the cleaners
either by an overpriced "hotshot" lawyer. Then I came across
Mark's website, spent about an hour flipping back and forth finding
answers, a bit of humor, and most of all, a feeling that this guy was a
no-nonsense, straight shooter. The testimonials you've read to
this point are all true. My consultation call lasted nearly 45
minutes...no pressure, strait answers, "well, your case isn't what I
call a slam dunk." A few phone calls, one deep and enlightening
look into my debt, income and expenses, one painless creditors meeting
and many, many promptly answered emails later, and we just received our
discharge. We still have our house, our stuff, our cars and we're
on our way to the fresh start that bankruptcy provides. Thanks,
Mark. You do your profession right."
C.T., L. Beach, California, August 2002
"I am very satisfied with my representation by Mark Markus. I got a
good feeling about his abilities and experience from quite a few
e-mails and telephone calls. His responses were frequent and without
any long delays. The meeting with the Trustee went well and Mark had
someone there to advise me and show me how things would work. The
actual interview process, in my case, was anti-climatic. After getting
myself in such a mess last year things started to get better only after
handing this case over to Mark Markus. I would recommend you contact
him and talk about your case. You will probably feel a lot better if
you know what your options are."
B.G. (Simi Valley) 9/17/2002
"Mark. Everything went well [at the Trustee's Meeting]. I had to
smile when I heard the prep some of the other lawyers (or
paralegals) were giving and then heard all the little things going
wrong with some of the other cases. It was nice to know mine was taken
care of and I felt totally prepared. Thanks again!"
