It took awhile for me to finally realize I didn't have any other options then to declare bankruptcy. With that came the feelings of failure and projecting what others would think of me. When I finally came time to pull the trigger, I found Mark J. Markus in my internet search. He made the procedure s...imple, and put me at ease. I had built up the entire process in my head into a massive event where I'd be paraded around a court room and yelled at. I never had to leave home. There was no yelling or accusations. You fill out the paperwork Mark sends you, as truthfully as you can recollect (it's similar to filling out your taxes). If you have questions, you ask Mark. If he has questions, he asks you. Just read the other reviews here, and you'll realize you're putting yourself in good hands with Mark J. Markus.

MR. MARKUS is one of a kind attorney. A rare breed not usually encountered in his profession. He is not representative of the typical 70's cocktail attorney jokes you've heard in the past. He is here to help you navigate through the most trying and stressful time in your life. When it seems like n...o one cares and others have walked away from you or you feel you're alone in your misery, he is able to give you solid information and demonstrates clear and concise problem solving skills that any lay person can understand and follow. He is not that kind of attorney that strings you along padding his invoices trying to make partner. His motive is to help you get through the dark hole so you can see the light, regain your life and start a new. I have never been so touched emotionally by an attorney that truly had nothing to gain from me other than sincerely trying to help me and my family. Step by step process can be done by emails and scanning documents. You can even scheduled you phone call appointments through his website. The process is very transparent with time lines on payment and anticipated filing dates. You can rest assure he is the one that will give you your life back.

If you live in the San Fernando Valley (or really anywhere in the Los Angeles area), and you're considering filing for bankruptcy, Mark is the lawyer you should contact. Earlier this year, I made the mistake of hiring a 'cheap' bankruptcy attorney. That person's intentions were good, but he just didn...'t know how to navigate my case. That person also gave me some bad advice, and since he worked for a large firm, he wasn't able to give me the attention that I needed. I moved on from that person, hired Mark, and never looked back. Mark was incredibly detail oriented. No stone was left unturned, and when I finally filed for Chapter 7, I was completely prepared. When it came to issues that Mark doesn't deal with, such as student loans, he referred me to outstanding colleagues. He also answered all of my emails and/or phone calls within 24 hours - even on weekends! I highly recommend hiring him. Your financial future is just too important. He will never sugarcoat your situation, and he will expertly guide you though the stressful bankruptcy experience.
