DUI

When I received a DUI charge it was the first time I had gone through anything like that. I found James through online reviews and connected with him. He was very helpful and straightforward in his free consultation. He walked me through the process and was able to give me an accurate timeline. J...ames used his resources well to ensure the best possible outcome in my case. He was reasonable and I'd recommend him to anyone.

Great person and Great Firm!

Jim and I have a mutual friend and when I needed a trustworthy and reliable lawyer, our friend recommended Jim to me. He was very knowledgeable in my specific area of need, and helped to make the experience a very calm; straight-forward but honest, case. Jim never over promised nor gave me a sense of... what "will happen" yet, clearly defined and laid out options and what we were going to do make the outcome as positive as the law would allow. The outcome of the case was more than I could have hoped for. Certainly would highly recommend Markofski Law to anyone.

Wonderful Attorney, Great office to work with. Very knowledgable staff.

James has been my Attorney for about16 years. James has helped me with many problems from Estate work, (Wills, power of Attorneys and Living Wills), Child support issues, property demand, advice on how to proceed with an issue. I highly recommend James as a very thorough, professional Attorney. Jam...es is very personable and pleasant to work with, for representation with issues I had that only can be handled by Attorney.

Review for James Markofski our lawyer

My husband and I have used Jim as our lawyer for the past 12 years for everything from setting up our LLC Corporation, various contracts written for our business, the sale of this business upon retirement and also to set up our wills. I also had need of Jims guidance and service in dealing with an i...mpending frivilous lawsuit which was dropped. He spends a lot of time with each client and his expertise was immeasurable. I highly recommend Jim for all legal services.

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.
