An excellent choice

Very professional, knowledgeable and patient. We worked with him on wills, a trust, power of attorney and health care proxy. He walked us through all the decisions that needed to be made and made himself available to fit our schedule.

JV - a client for life

I met Mr. Marks three years ago when he was assigned my file for workup. I was very pleased with the way he handled a very sensitive set of circumstances. Through his diligence the matter was successfully settled. I then sought out his assistance with respect to estate planning He is able to pu...t a positive spin on very unpleasant things - making them palatable. His education and experience speak clearly highighting his abilities - but he also has the ability to empathize with his client's unique human condition. I recommend him without reservation.

Hire this Attorney

Mr. Marks was highly recommended to us by a friend to assist my husband and me with setting up a LLC for a franchise business we were purchasing. Upon further discussing our situation involving a service contract with the landlord, Mr. Marks immediately identified many problems that would've been cos...tly to us had we not taken the proper steps and precaution. He gave us sage legal advise and informed us what to do to protect us from potential financial harm. We were so impressed with him that we hired him on the spot. He's very honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring. We were also blown away by his willingness to help as his primary focus and not be concerned about making money. I've worked with many lawyers, have retained some, and I have to say he is unusual and refreshing. We are fortunate to have Mr. Marks as our attorney. We feel a lot more confident in going forward in this new business venture with Mr. Marks at our side. A+

Rewiew of Tom Marks

Attorney Marks is a well trained, highly educated attorney that I consider to be a trusted advisor for my business and personal matters. In addition to being comprehensive and technically proficient, Attorney Marks has the ability to be strategic with his planning and recommendations. The work that A...ttorney Marks has competed for me has been superior to any other legal services that I have previously experienced. I regard Attorney Marks as an incredible resource to my business and personal matters and I highly recommend his services.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Tom and I met when we represented adverse parties in a very sensitive and difficult matter. After a contentious beginning, we were able to resolve the matter in a reasonable and equitable fashion. Tom demonstrated that he could show compassion and understanding for my client while obtaining a great result for his client. Tom is very smart, he knows the law, and he is able to exercise mature judgment and creative problem solving. I am very comfortable referring matters to Tom; I know his clients are in good hands."
