This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Attorney ever I had!

I found him under by Hyatt Legal Insurance covered. He did work so hard and protect my driver license record and he did great job to convince to Gwinnett country's lawyer to not put the point on my driver record and low the price of fee to pay. I will keep him in the future when I need. I recommend y...ou to hire him for future with your traffic ticket. He will got your back. Trust him!

Knowledgeable! He's the best in Town!

I've use Dave for two violations that I've had in the past year and he is the best. He is very responsive and knowledgeable about the law and how each court is run. He's been practicing for years and has a good rapport with Cobb, Dekalb and Fulton county. He will either meet with you or call to discu...ss potential options and strategy. More than likely, he will either get your charge reduced or dropped. He knows what he's doing! He literally came to court with a stack of paperwork/research for my texting and driving case. He came to court with guns blazing (figuratively). If I ever run into a legal incident regarding traffic violation - I'm calling him! He's not only a good lawyer, but he's a good human being. Thanks for your awesomeness Dave! I'm truly a fan of your work.

Gets the Job done

David is all about the law and will do extensive research to find a way to help his client! He is all about fairness and will do absolutely everything in his power to help his client. I was able to get my charges that would have led to my license getting suspended, dismissed because of his research. ...I highly recommend David in all of your legal proceedings.

This is the lawyer you WANT!!!

I have worked with Dave twice in the past two years in serious legal situations that could have resulted in a year long license suspension and/or possible jail time. In both situations, he was able to successfully get me a better deal than was expected. He was professional, on-time, and VERY knowledg...eable about not only the specific prosecutors in the city of Atlanta, but also the surrounding areas. When it came to certain ramifications, he knew both the positive's and negatives of both, and we were able to work out a specific strategy for my day in court. While other people in the same court room walked out with not as good bargains or having to transfer their cases to other districts, I was able to walk out with a smile on my face! This is the guy you want, hands down!

Very Good Attorney

I have found Mr. Markus to be a very professional and knowledgeable attorney, treated me with respect and dignity, totally trustworthy, and kept me well informed during the entire process. Mr. Markus (along with Tracy) helped reduce my anxiety level and reassured me that things would find a way to w...ork out in the end. I would highly recommend Mr. Markus for any of your legal needs.
