BEST attorney in Muskegon County

James Marek is the BEST attorney in Muskegon County. Hands down. He plays to win, and he does so while treating his client like a human being and not just a paycheck. Not only is he the funniest attorney I've ever met, but he's the most caring as well. Hire James Marek, trust me, you won't regret i...t.

I cannot recommend this lawyer. He was not well prepared and this occurred on more than one occasion. If you need a good lawyer I suggest that you look elsewhere.

Posted by anonymous | November 26, 2014 | Divorce & Separation

Most competent lawyer I've worked with.

I had worked with different lawyers prior to working with him and was thoroughly impressed with his expertise. He had the experience to know when my expectations were unrealistic, but was actually able to get me more than I was hoping for in my divorce. He won't mislead you about your options, whic...h was something I really appreciated, because he didn't waste my time & money on things that wouldn't have mattered anyway. My cousin's friend is a judge that works with him, & he said he's one of the best.

Stay clear of this attorney

I hired Mr. Marek about one year ago. What a hugh mistake. He will not return calls, I left him 12 messages in 15 days before he called me back. He screwed up most everything on my case. It was really unbelivable what a terrible job he did. He was unorganized, lazy, and was just plain unprofession...al. Do yourself a favor and hire anyone but Mr. Marek.

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.
