Manipulative & Unprofessional

My fiancé hired Marcus in May of 2024. They agreed to $10,000 flat fee. My fiancé paid half up front and was supposed to pay $500 monthly. A month later, Marcus was terminated. In the weeks leading up to Marcus’s termination, he repeatedly told us he was going to call someone for a statement. Marc...us said multiple times he made an attempt. The person he was supposed to contact said he never had heard from Marcus. Once the person returned from offshore, eventually Marcus spoke to the person. Marcus had only texted him about speaking in person. Never called like he kept telling us he was doing. Marcus also made some records request to which he said the people that respond, have 30 days to reply. Almost 45 days later, all Marcus would say when asked on the status of these requests is, “Yeah I’m gonna check on those requests”. He never gave us an update on these requests. Marcus was scheduled to meet with someone in June 2024. After the meetup and , as Marcus was leaving, I explained how important the case was to our family and how it had adversely affected us. An hour later Marcus texted me. A text I, and others felt was an inappropriate text to send me, his client’s fiancé. He was fired on June 23rd after he sent an inappropriate text to me. This text was sent while my fiancé had been waiting for hours for an update from Marcus. My fiancé even texted Marcus after his inappropriate text asking for an update, never to get one. The text said: “Now all weekend I'm gonna think about you. Wondering how someone so beautiful and so young can lose hope if they saw what I saw” Marcus also would fail to respond to messages, calls, his business site messaging system. He was not communicative and seemed to not follow through with a lot. So after Marcus’s firing, Marcus billed us for $5000. We are out all this money and starting from scratch. That’s $5000 we borrowed. A bar complaint has been filed. If attorney’s can screw over their clients and take their money so quickly, then I’m afraid to ever hire an attorney again. *I consulted Marcus outside of Avvo and want to shed light on his practices.*

Highly respected

Mr. Myers is a highly reliable attorney with a broad mindset on resolving cases. He is very straightforward and realistic on any and all routes a case can go, but also prepares for any of those routes as well. He works endlessly getting cases closed with your best interest as priority. Also, consi...stently ready to assist with any other legal matters that come about. Mr. Myers isn't only for criminal defense but also covers an array of many other legal obstacles you may encounter, from criminal to car accidents. You don't know unless you ask so I would strongly recommend asking Mr. Marcus Myers for legal advice or even enrolling him as you, or a loved ones, attorney.
