Best lawyer!!!

Mr. Markus went above and beyond any lawyer that I have ever had an appointed in my life so far. Mr. Markus does a thorough independent investigation, as well as takes multiple appointments with you to ensure that you have a complete understanding about what is happening throughout your case. His pra...ctice also helps making sure his clients are efficiently taken care of in and out of incarceration. Mr. Markus has supplied me with many resources as well as been accessible to me even after my case with any questions that I have had.

Best Attorney in Fort Collins!!

It’s not often my family finds itself in need of a lawyer, so when we do we want to be sure that we hire the person that will best advocate for our interests and ensure that we are represented with the skills and integrity necessary to resolve our legal issues. Mr. Markus is the lawyer that does jus...t this, and more. Through his ability to work with other attorneys and the courts, Mr. Markus was instrumental in securing an outcome that was better than we could have hoped for, and we’re certain he’ll do this for all his clients. Ryan is just that kind of guy. He defines integrity, and he commits himself to your case! With Ryan you don’t feel helpless or alone. We were also more than happy with Mr. Markus’ fee structure. It was transparent, easy to understand, and more than fair. With Mr. Markus representing us we never had to worry about anything other than doing our part in the process by following his direction. With our legal matters now behind us we can say with certainty that if we ever find ourselves in need of a lawyer, then Ryan Markus is as far as we need to reach out.

He will go above and beyond for your case

Ryan is a great young attorney. He is very knowledgeable and seems to have a good relationship with the judges and the DAs. Also he is very reasonable on the cost of his services. I would definitely recommend him for your case

More than just a lawyer!!

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.
