recent experience

Choosing a firm to represent my parents after an accident was a difficult decision. Based on the recommendation of another attorney, we were fortunate to be put into contact with John Markus. We knew from the initial consultation that we had made the correct choice. John made us feel very comfortable... and explained every detail in a way that was easy to understand. He didn't just sugarcoat things. He prepared us for a long journey that would have its ups and downs and let us know, though a settlement was the desired outcome, the case could end up in the hands of a jury. We trusted John and let the process run its course. Along the way, he was very easy to contact and kept us updated with any new developments. He seemed to always have answers to ease our worries. It was a little over a year before the defense requested a mediation. Watching John and all the strategies that day was amazing. My parents (and myself) were a little nervous, to say the least. They wanted to settle and avoid court but, at the same time, did not want to feel unfairly compensated for their injuries. We trusted John and the outcome was a very fair settlement. No amount of money is worth seeing my parents suffer like they have. However, they did not expect the outcome to go their way to the extent it did. It will not take away their pain and suffering, but will definitely help their quality of life in the days ahead. I highly recommend John as an attorney that will make anyone feel comfortable in that they have made the best choice of representation. I truly believe that had we not done our homework and found the best, we would not have had the same outcome.

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.
