Extremely Ineffective Lawyer in SJ

Scott H. Marcus is an awful lawyer. We probably did not realize how bad he was until we switched to a different lawyer. We were informed by our new lawyer that the case that Scott had been billing us for, for over a year, could have been dismissed initially. He was not even capable of understanding t...he dynamics of our case, and was very opinionated, and judgmental from the onslaught. We provided Scott with numerous financial documents to utilize in our representation. He billed us for their review. However, he indicated post our deposition that he couldn't understand anything in them. Clearly that was not the time for him to express that. He looked lost during the deposition, and in conversations he had with opposing counsel. I had an idea of how our case should be fought; given it was a family dispute. Scott went against our wishes and suggestions at every opportunity. If he was on target with his assessment, that would have been one thing. But, he was not, and his approach emboldened the plaintiffs, in a case that never had any legal justification. My only regret was in not switching lawyers sooner. I recently went to a fee arbitration hearing, to dispute his charges, and fight paying him a cent more. At that hearing; he came across like he was the plaintiff in our case. He never represented us with the passion he should have. I strongly recommend anyone from hiring his services. Trust me; you'll regret it!

Individual had a poor case for the situation he wanted to achieve. Would not settle on terms favorable to him. Lost fee arbitration, lost appeal, defaulted on payment arrangement. I wish him no ill will but he needs to see the situation more clearly. Wife has commented above.

Scott fought harder to ensure I paid for his horrendous representation, than he fought for us.

This individual is the wife of the other recent review. Had to sue for fees, won. He appealed and I won again. The facts of the case were difficult for the result he wanted. I was able to negotiate a good settlement which he rejected. He is now paying off his fee obligation monthly.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
