Bright young attorney

Mr.Makis Abraham took a case many lawyers had previously walked away from. Not only did he win cash for me , but proved himself to be an aggressive go getter at the deposition of the plaintiffs..Mr.Abraham was so well prepared via research onnthe case at hand, that when he began to question the plain...tiffs they became irrational .lol it was real legalbpoetry in motion on th he part of Mr Abbram.Not once did he allow the other party to intimidate him with they're antics of yelling and refusing to answer him simply because he effectively caught these people in so many lies about what they had said and done to me thay became AFRAID..THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK MR. ABRAHAM..MY FAMILY LOOKS FORWARD TO OUR COOK OUT THIS SUMMER AND AS USUAL YOUR INVITED. ANGELINA BOON

A not so glowing review as the others but its my review

Would have saved us both alot of time and me an unnessary $800 fee if he would have just taken the time to access my bankrupct situation alittle more quickly and carefullly and didnt have me pay the fee from the start but I suspect he knew every early at that time, I wasnt a good candidate for bankru...ocy but I already paid the fee so of course he didnt want to give that back. During it when I had questions he was hard to reach and rarely avilable and returned phone calls. Towards the end he didnt even call me to end our client, lawyer realtionship. I got a letter when he could have just talked to me and told me because of the information I gave him, Im not a good candidate at that moment. Then a year later he contacts me for no reason I suspect when he learned I was working with a colleague on a accident case he knows but that had nothing to do with my accident case and as recently as last month when my situation was alittle more dire and i wanted to file for bankruptcy and I cantacted him again to give him the business, he saw my name on his caller id and just hanged up which was very unprofessional so for all these resons I give him a 1 star and would give a 0 if I could. Im sure hes a good lawyer but he wasnt with me a couple years ago at all. Sorry guy but it is what it is.

Recommend for selling home in Jersey City

Markis helped me through the process / paperwork of selling my home. He and his staff were very professional and responsive. I highly recommend.

Very responsive and trustworthy

Helped us in purchase of new property. Was very responsive throughout the process and watched out for our interest. Would recommend him again.

Extremely helpful!

I am proud to say that thanks to Markis Abraham I was able to file for bankruptcy and start a new life. During the process Markis was available at anytime when I had questions when I was filling applications, or needed clarification on what documentation I needed for the court hearing and many other ...situations. Markis also was able to help me visualize the process for filing for bankruptcy and how to build up my credit score. There was complete sincerity in his work and if there is a lawyer who knows about bankruptcy Markis is the lawyer to work with.
