Best "Lead Attorney" anyone can ask for!!!
For more than 15 years, Wm. A. Markham has been my Lead Attorney and close associate in all my personal and business transactions. He has represented me, and we have worked together in Administrative, Advertising, Antiturst, Business, Civil Rights, Class Action, Contract, Divorce, Foreclosure, Insurance, Landlord/Tenant, LLCs, Prenuptials, Trusts, Wills/Living Wills, and Wrongful Termination LAW cases, just to name a few. He is fair minded, knowledgable, and a tenacious ledigator. He does is own Filings and research so that he can insure that he has a complete understanding of his client, their needs, rights and how it relates to the the law. I do and will continue to value and look to him for his legal advise and representation when needed. I do not have many people I consider to be close personal friends or associate. I feel fortunate to call William Markham to be both one of my closet friends and associates. Thank you, Bill, for being there for my family and myself!! Feel free to use me as a referrence any time.

"I just read (twice) the answer of Mr. Markham to an antitrust question. It was beyond accurate, analytic and customized to the needs of the Avvo asker. It was one of the ten best answers I have seen on any subject in Avvo over the past two years. He should be on the "short list" for any client needing representation in the areas of his expertise."
