Fantastic legal counsel and service

My family consulted with Mr. Markowitz while seeking to learn different options to complete the final steps of settling our mother’s estate. There are 5 surviving children and our goals were to find a plan suitable for all, avoiding conflict and discord between us, while bringing her estate to final ...close. Mr. Markowitz sat together with us and listened to each of our goals and wishes patiently. He counseled us with several possible outcomes and fielded our questions until we arrived, together, with a plan. He then acted quickly to provide the correct legal documents needed, secure our signatures, and filed them with the appropriate agencies. This resolution required legal expertise related to Living Revocable Trust, Agreement, Power of Attorney, Warranty Deeds and Assignments. We are more than pleased with the warm yet professional demeanor in which our needs were handled. Mr. Markowitz was a great pleasure to work with and provided fantastic legal counsel and stellar, prompt service. We could not have imagined a better experience. He gets our highest possible referral and we will call on him again, if needed, for any future business.

Dismissed citation

I was given a citation for no PFD when in a cove on a paddle board on Memorial weekend. Working offshore and being away from home I was unable to make a court appearance and that's when I contacted Robert Markowitz via email and he promptly answered back giving me a number when to call him. I hired h...im and he was able to appear in court for me while I was offshore working on my 6 weeks and he had the ticket dismissed. I hope I never have to use him again for citations but if I you have a citation in Montgomery I would hire this attorney.

Experience matters..

Mr. Markowitz successfully represented me dealing with a recent traffic citation. I was extremely pleased with his prompt communications , his professional manner, and his knowledge of the law. Do not compromise if you are facing legal issues. I heartily endorse Mr. Markowitz and would not hesitat...e to use his services again.

Miracle Worker

I found out I had an outstanding traffic ticket with the city of Conroe and was referred to Mr. Markowitz. While on vacation, he took my call and walked me through the various options I had and made a recommendation. He didn't promise anything and just said "let me see what I can do." From the t...ime of my initial call, within 15 minutes he got me deferred probation for 1 day. 1 day only. I needed a miracle to get this addressed quickly and Mr. Markowitz came through in the clutch. I can't thank him enough for the help and if I ever get another ticket in Conroe, he is the man I am going to call!

Excellent Experience

Mr.Markowitz was very dependable I never waited long to receive a response to an email regarding a question or a document I needed. I was always informed on what was going on in my case. This was a good experience because I had Mr.Markowitz as a lawyer. I'm very thankful.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Markowitz and I worked on a complex matter involving many parties. His professionalism, candor, and direct approach to problem-solving was appreciated. A class act!"

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"When I was the head prosecutor for all of the Montgomery County JP courts, I regularly interacted with Robert Markowitz as opposing counsel. He's a tremendously knowledgeable and conscientious attorney who always looks out for his clients. I found him to be a worthy adversary and someone I respect. Now that I'm in private practice, I routinely refer cases to him that are outside my practice area. He's a great human being and someone I admire as much for the kind of person he is as the kind of lawyer he is."
