Wonderful lawyer

Mr.Markus is amazing. He was my public defender in my case. He really did an amazing job. He seems like he really cares about his clients. I didn't feel like just another number like with other public defenders I've had. We took my case to trial and was given a not guilty verdict. So with that my oth...er case was dismissed. Thank you Ryan for the work you did for me. Your amazing

Great lawyer!

Ryan was the best lawyer I've ever had. He was awesome with my case and went above and beyond to help me out and get me the best deal I could get. And he honestly seemed like he actually cared about helping me out. He was very patient and understanding with me while i had things i needed to take car...e of before proceeding with my case, it took me like 5-6 months to do what i needed to do before taking a deal and he was chill and understanding about it the whole time. Unlike some lawyers who just want to wrap it up fast and take your money. He was also super understanding with my money situation and worked with me on payments. He will be my lawyer from now on if I ever need one again

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.

The best lawyer I have had.

Ryan was the the most professional and amiable lawyer I have hired. He explained every step in my legal process and made me feel less anxious. The deal he got me with the district attorney was unbelievably good. All of the charges will be dropped after probation. I can't thank Ryan enough. If you nee...d a great lawyer, you should hire Ryan.

32 years avoided

Mr. Markus was with my family through a long drawn out process to prevent my daughter from spending 32 years in jail for being with the wrong people at the wrong time. She came home to her son after 3 months. He was even there afterwards to continue assisting us and guiding us through the system. I c...ouldn't thank this man enough for everything he did!
