Marcus Todd Foote

My close friend, who was my divorce attorney, strongly recommended that I use Marcus for my property settlement because she knew mine would be a complex case and explained to me that Marcus was one of only two people in the state of Louisiana that possessed the skill set that he does. Marcus came hig...hly recommended by several friends and attorneys and I soon found out why. During the time I utilized his services, he exhibited the utmost professionalism and was knowledgeable of the very complex laws and procedures regarding my ex's retirement funds and investments - as they were different than that of the typical person's. He and his staff have an extensive and impressive background in finance and prepared me for every possible scenario I could have been faced with. He always took his time and explained every step of the process to me so that I could make informed decisions as I proceeded with my property settlement. I truly hate to see that someone else had a bad review of Marcus and I have to disagree with them as I find it very hard to believe that he was intimidated by anyone. Marcus knows his stuff backwards and forwards and, in my opinion, my ex's attorney was very much intimidated by Marcus and his extensive knowledge of the law. I watched, on several occasions, as he had to actually explain things to the other attorney(s) and was more than well equipped to provide a strong, solid rebuttal to any objections that were brought against our proposed settlement offers or case filings. As a result, my settlement amount was more than I expected to receive and WAY more than my ex was originally willing to pay. I received a good portion of my settlement funds within weeks of my ex agreeing to settle instead of having to wait until he retires. This was after he and his attorney were informed of how much I was truly entitled to; along with Marcus's law based justifications of why I would be awarded all of those funds, and possibly more, if we went to court. In addition to that, I will receive another large lump sum when my ex retires as well. Again, this was MUCH more than the $30,000 my ex wanted to settle for, and wouldn't budge from, prior to me retaining Marcus's services. Marcus also had no qualms with standing up for what I was entitled to. As a matter of fact, I actually instructed Marcus to propose an offer that was less than what I was ultimately entitled to and he encouraged me to reconsider that offer since although it was sizable, it was a good amount lower than my fair share. He was willing to continue fighting so that I got what I was entitled to. I also have to comment on his remarkably friendly and caring staff. Debbie, Anita, and the entire staff at Marcus Foote's office was so friendly and accommodating and made this very difficult time for me as bearable as possible. They not only took an interest in me as a person and my family, but also made me feel as though they truly cared about my well being and the outcome of my case. They worked with me when I couldn't make it to their office to sign papers within a certain time frame and with payment options so my case progress wasn't held up. Even after my case was settled, they assisted me in the process of receiving my settlement funds so that the process would be expedited. I can't say how much I appreciate their care and concern and can honestly say that they consistently went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that my needs were met and I was comfortable throughout the process. Without hesitation, I would strongly recommend Marcus Foote and his staff to anyone seeking an attorney. I am overwhelmingly pleased with the outcome of my case and can not say enough how much I appreciate the level of customer service and expertise that was exhibited from the entire staff. Thanks, Marcus!!
