Top Notch
Dave Markarian and the whole Markarian group are very impressive. I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with several different people on the staff and every one of them is top notch. My case was a tough one with a lot of complications but that didn’t stop the Markarian Group from delivering great results. You can tell that they are all very passionate about what they do. In addition to Dave being an extremely talented lawyer, he has an impressive ability to create an environment that attracts and retains the best business lawyers around, resulting in a truly unique and very valuable concentration of talent. From minor routine business issues to major critical business legal issues, this firm is the best around to handle it all. Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional.  I highly recommend them.

Great job defending me in a civil financial matter.
I highly recommend, extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and strategic. Worked hard to save me unnecessary fees. David successfully defended me in a civil law suit in regards to a business relationship. Extremely communicative, kept me informed every step of the way.

Business Debt Resolution
Mr. Markarian resolved several debt issues for our business. He was knowledgeable, professional and empathetic--which is comforting when going through potential litigation. He followed up and was always accessible. I would highly recommend him for business issues, debt resolution and litigation matters. We were so happy that we found him and will use him again should we need his services.
