Super Speeding Ticket Dismissed
Showed up to court, sat for 4.5 hrs, responded when my name was called. Markowitz was able to get my super speeding ticket dismissed based off a small detail in posted speed limits. Well worth the money; saved me thousands long term.

A shocking decline in service
I've been using Scott any time I've gotten a ticket since the late 90's and yesterday was the last time I will ever use his services. The attorney showed up late, seemed to be drunk, didn't understand what my ticket violation was and then got me an "offer" that was more than if I had just paid the ti...

Replied last May 11, 2015Mike, I am so sorry that you had a bad experience. We have since learned from the attorney Patrick that his mother had taken ill over the weekend prior to your court date and that he and his sisters and brothers had been keeping watch over her night and day at the hospital. In hindsight, he should have called in assistance and not taken on so much responsibility during that time.

Speeding made easy.................
I am a frequent flyer (literally) and I always receive the red carpet treatment when in court with Scott or Ron. I am always one of the first people in and out of the court house thanks to this firm.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Scott goes above and beyond for all of his clients. He is willing to go to trial and uses this to his advantage in resolving cases for his clients. I refer all traffic ticket matters to him."
"When I was the head prosecutor for all of the Montgomery County JP courts, I regularly interacted with Scott 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 traffic ticket cases from Houston and Harris County to him because I know he will do a great job."
"I asked Scott to help with a client recently when a client who I represented on a felony had several class C violations in another county. He was attentive, conscientious, and a very good communicator. Those qualities not only made it easy to work with him, but also caused him to get a great result for our client. Scott is the (traffic) man. I endorse him."
"I refer all of my speeding/traffic ticket cases to Scott Markowitz. He knows the transportation code backwards and forwards, and is popular with court staff because of his affable personality and commitment to this clients."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Scott is very diligent and attentive to his work. He is active in the affairs of the Municipal Bar Associations and keeps a strong pulse of the goings on in Austin regarding Municipal Justice Matters in Texas."
"Scott Markowitz is truly the "traffic ticket man.com". I have referred several clients to him and he has produced great results. I endorse this lawyer's work."
