Unprofessional, dishonest keep searching for attorney

My deceased,parent used Mr Marks for his will so I contacted him to handle the Estate. Worst choice I could have made. This guy is the worst possible attorney available in Tucson, he padded his invoice by thousands, did NOT follow thru with customers requests, borderline illegal activities. Then uses... his power and knowledge of Estate he was hired to settle and gained monetary. I'm not,sure how this man can look in his own eyes and sleep at night with his unethical dishonest service. Please do not hire him. Keep searching, nothing but a headache with his service.

Impressive attorney

Attorney Jeffrey Marks has represented me since 2012, two separate cases involving divorce and child custody. He is extremely professional, experienced, and I felt he represented high ethical standards. Jeff also takes pride in keeping informed and current on always changing laws. Both cases had a po...sitive outcome. Attorneys fees are not usually cheap, however some will charge less per hour, but bill more hours than necessary. Mr marks was extremely fair on all of his fees. Mr Marks also has an amazing office staff, very helpful and easy to talk to. Thanks Jeff you put me at ease during difficult times and were wonderful to work with.

ineffective and unruly

Accepted my case as plaintiff in PI case, defendant in civil matter and then as plaintiff in civil action all within same stretch of time. The latter two were at behest of his Legal Plan which recommended his "expertise." It became abundantly clear he had no trial expertise (unprepared to show video ...prepared for him at his request) nor did he have any real estate expertise. In the real estate matter, he simply jumped onto the opposing party's bandwagon of claims with adequately researching and violated Legal Plan rules in process. I was overcharged without retainer in excess of thousands and then he refused dispute resolution procedure in lieu of going to Bar for ethics. He seemed to know firsthand their system lacked the resources to investigate him, so he dragged it out and abandoned my PI case midway in retaliation for my requesting refund repeatedly. His staff were employed to prevent access and behave rudely to the end of holding him unaccountable. It's really a shame that firms are allowed to engage in shenanigans with Legal Plans to exaggerate one another's credentials and profit from what appears as absolutely unethical conduct. ( He swore he'd never take another real estate case as my title lawyer and other counsel demonstrated his erroneous assumptions, but you can see on Avvo that not anything he ever said was true because complaints about his real estate bungling persist and I'm sure each one along the way received that same flowery Welcome Letter package exclaiming how he'd work his honest best to "professionally" represent his clients--yadayadayada. What good is such a flowery Agreement when no one will assertively communicate its meaning with respect for the facts transpiring as they develop? All he did for me was offer bad service, refusal to look at his errors using factual outside legal analyses, refusal to "reapportion" his accounting errors to the end of refund, and act like he never knew what was wrong in spite of letters, emails, voice messages and meetings. I don't know the word appropriate to describe such a character, but you won't find it on Avvo.
