Highly recommend

Blake did a superb job in handling my case and representing me in court. He was clear and concise in all of his communications from beginning to end. Perfectly explained the process I would be going through, helped me obtain the best possible outcome for my circumstances, and always treated me with t...he upmost dignity and respect - as did the rest of the staff. Special mention to Stephanie, who was very helpful and made sure I provided them all the necessary documents and materials.

Fantastic attorney!

Mr Marcus represented me in a DWI case. He stayed in touch the entire time worked with me in every way and got the best outcome possible. He was quick to answer every question and offer answers to questions I didn't even think to ask.

Dui Lawyer

Beyond impressed, Mr. Marcus has been nothing but helpful towards me over the period of the past year. He has helped me by walking me through all the steps that we needed to accomplish. At no point in time have I had to wonder about anything. I felt as if I could talk to Mr. Marcus as a friend instea...d of service. I have not had to worry about any contact issues, if anything he has called me before I could call him. Genuinely a good guy, very nice and respectful. I truly loved the fact that mr Marcus would ask me how I was doing in general beside what was going on in court. Definitely the type of person to turn a bad day into a good day. Don’t think twice about picking Mr Marcus.

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.
