Ryan S. Markus

I had Ryan as a Public Defender in my cases. He worked very hard to get me the best outcome and get me placed into a community corrections program. But his hard work is not what stands out to me this day. Ryan was and still is a great listener from the moment he came to talk to me in the county jail ...to this very day. He is compassionate about what he does and believes in the clients that he serves. He worked with the DA to get me the best possible sentence that would enrich my life and help me to start rebuilding my life again. He hasn't been my lawyer for almost 2 years now, instead he is my close friend, confidante and like a brother to me now. I have so much love, respect, and admiration for this man. Without him my life wouldn't be on the path that it is now. A good lawyer isn't just about what they can do in a courtroom! A good lawyer is one who listens to their clients, helps their client and communicates with their clients through the whole process. A good lawyer is also someone who supports and encourages their clients long after the judicial process is completed. Ryan isn't a good lawyer he is an amazing lawyer who went above and beyond for me through the judicial process. Now he is an amazing man that I have the privilege of calling my friend and who has consistently been there to support and encourage me on this new path I've found in my life. Thank you Ryan for being who you are, and for believing in and supporting me over these past few years. I can't express my appreciation to you enough. I sincerely thank you my friend and brother.
