Fantastic!!

John helped me through the complex world of medical/ auto insurance after a car accident. He was extremely easy to work with and promptly returned emails. I was very happy with the final settlement.

John Markus review - 2/2022

First, I would like you to know how we were referred to Leeseberg Tuttle. Doug Kennedy, a dear trusted friend who was an attorney, who recently passed away called me while recuperating in the intensive care unit and told me to call Gerry Leeseberg & John Markus as they will do everything in their po...wer to do what is right on our behalf. We were hit head on by a bus and suffered serious injury and extensive damage to our vehicle. Well, our dear friend was spot on and I wish he was here for us to give him a big hug as John was a bulldog who went above and beyond to get us a settlement that was more than what we were anticipating. The firm even donated a portion of their funds to Doug’s favorite charities. John did an excellent job in explaining the time-frame, the process and keeping us informed as well as answering all of our questions relating to our case. John & Leah were also very compassionate and often checked in on our well-being and rehabilitation. We most highly recommend John Markus and Leeseberg Tuttle to represent you as they will always have your best interest at heart working to get you the largest settlement possible. It was truly a pleasure working with John and Leah and we cannot thank them enough for their efforts during such a difficult time in our lives.

Compassionate Advocate

John excels not only at distilling large amount of information, but also at conveying a client's story. I've referred colleagues to John and the reviews are the same: "John cares." When someone retains a lawyer, they are likely going through a difficult time. Having an advocate that is not only well-...versed in the law but is also compassionate goes a long way to a great resolution.

Kathy Kemp, client

John was very helpful in navigating our claim. My husband was struck by a car in a public parking lot. The driver remained and was insured. There was video of the incident that was submitted to the local police department. John helped us correspond with all necessary parties, and was successful i...n obtaining what we feel was a fair settlement given the circumstances. We highly recommend John!

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.
