"I fretted, worried and lost hair for far too
long about bankruptcy. It only got worse when I
realized I had to do the pick a lawyer, any lawyer dance. After
speaking with the first attorney I called, I hung up the phone with a
bad feeling; the expense was much higher than I had expected, and
I thought the paralegal or assistant I spoke with (I
couldn't even talk to the attorney at this point) was less than
knowledgeable. Again I went into the night sweats, wondering if
there was any way around bankruptcy, but the lottery tickets I
bought didn't pay up.
The second attorney I called was Mark J. Markus. I was
pleasantly surprised to not have to run the gauntlet of legal
profession telephone answers, and spoke directly with Mr. Markus. I
gave him a brief rundown of my plight. He listened patiently while
I mumbled through it, never once making me feel hurried. He answered
all my questions, explained what he could and could not do for
me and quoted his fees for the service we agreed upon. That night,
for the first me in months, I didn't wake up, scared out of my wits
about what I was going to do; that's when I knew I had made the right
decision.
Everything happened as Mr. Markus had claimed it
would. He was direct, no-nonsense and always available. He handled
deftly a tough situation, never adding to the anxiety I felt or making
me feel more the loser than I already did for the situation I had
gotten myself into. The paperwork required took some doing, but was
easily handled via emails. The filing, the hearing all went as
advertised. The fees I was quoted were exactly what I was told, nothing
hidden, nothing extra. I would and I have recommend Mark J. Markus
as an attorney. If you're at the point you are reading this, the
last thing you need is something else to worry about, especially your
own attorney."
M.C. Los Angeles, CA; Jan. 2006 "Having a high credit rating for much of my adult life, I never thought I
would come to the point of having to declare bankruptcy. After moving to a new
state, signing a contract with a fraudulent debt consolidation agency, and not
staying on top of my finances, things began to spiral out of control.
Creditors were calling my home, cell phone, and even making
threatening calls to me while at work. After coming home from work one
evening and being subpoenaed on my doorstep, I came to the disheartening
conclusion that bankruptcy was my only viable option.
I was scared, worried, confused, and unsure of what would lie ahead. I
immediately began researching via the Internet, message boards, telephone book,
Better Business Bureau, and word of mouth for a reputable attorney to help me
with filing. After an extremely lengthy and arduous process of investigating my
possible options I decided on Mark J. Markus for representation.
From the moment Mark took on my case, I felt as if I had a strong ally as
my advocate. Mark is very thorough and detailed with all information and
requests upon clients. He is extremely reputable, punctual and always
immediately available for response to any questions or concerns that one may
have.
I would highly recommend Mark J Markus to anyone who is looking for
superlative representation in these legal matters. I thank Mark deeply for
giving me the opportunity to a fresh start and for much needed peace of mind."

"After an expensive emotional Divorce my financial condition was in the fast
lane heading for a crash. With the burden of having to pay an obscene amount
of spousal support as well as child support the thought of also having to
pay off the balances of the credit cards, back taxes and attorney fees
seemed an impossible task.
Struggling to keep my head above water my
financial conditioned was not improving; expenses that typically are
necessities in life like health insurance could not be maintained and after
a minor health problem the uninsured Doctor bills finally made me realize
that I needed some professional help.
The thought of filing
Bankruptcy was not pleasant but I had no choice, my tax balances with
penalties and interest were in the six figure range. I could borrow any
money and I no longer had any more assets. I search the internet and found
the Law offices of Mark Markus.
I have never written a testimonial and I
don't normally shout the praises of some ones services but I feel compelled
to do so in this case. After reading the biography and answering a few
initial questions I couldn't believe how responsive he was. I received the
retainer agreement and a package with a more detailed questionnaire that
required information about my creditors and overall financial
condition.
Mark Markus's bankruptcy services were extremely
thorough and easy to understand. When I had questions all I had to do was
email my concerns and within 24 hrs I had a response. I remember once I sent
an e-mail on a Sunday evening thinking I would get an answer the following
week. I got my answer the same Sunday evening."

"Thanks to Mark, we were able to recover from a financial set back which we
thought was unbeatable. We were very much in debt and because of life changing
events were unable to pay our bills. We literally felt like we had no one else
to turn to until one day I happened to come across this site that would help us
in our time of need. Thank you for guiding and assisting us in restarting our
financial life that we thought was gone."

"Thank you so much for all of your efforts and assistance with my bankruptcy
case. I know that I was not a typical client, yet you never faltered or
complained. I really feel that you give the legal community a good name, and in
this day in age that is not an easy thing to do. Best wishes with your practice
and thanks again. You are one in a million."

painful. Thank you again.

"I struggled for the longest time with the decision to move forward with
filing for bankruptcy. I had my own judgements against filing, feeling like I
had worked hard to keep myself above water, and not wanting to give in to the
stigma of a bankruptcy. I was nervous and I called Mark...who was like a
saviour. He was able to lead me through the decision-making process and guide
me so that I could make a clear decision. Once I engaged his services, he was
highly communicative and very helpful throughout the process. From the
beginning of the process all the way through the discharge, Mr. Markus was by
my side and on my
team."
