Ethan Marcus is a professional family attorney

Ethan is a nice caring gentleman.He is professional,honest and fair.For my case he spent quality time w/ his team,particularly during the court hearing. I originally asked him to get a restraining order but now I have him to handle all my cases related to family issues.We have been working togeth...er for almost 17 months.He is trustable so I'd like to continue working with him and also recommend him to any one who has family issue.

Very disappointed with this family Practice

My divorce was basic, and both my spouse and I were in agreement on almost everything, but Mr Marcus's office suceeded in dragging it out over three years, getting me less than when what originally agreed on, and charging me for rediculous things like "training his assistant, when the one assigned t...o me left. time to researching basic divorce laws, when he claims to have 18 years experience? Incorrect billing charges, and incompetent office staff.

"Ethan is an excellent mentor and supervising attorney. He is not only skilled at analyzing facts and seeing the big picture, but also has a way of understanding the client's needs and working with them to achieve their goals. Ethan is very adept at presenting arguments in a way that everyone can get and appreciate, from layperson witnesses to highly intelligent finders of fact. In addition to these traits, Ethan's persuasive communication style and savvy courtroom manner is admired and sought after."

Family lawyer | Dec 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer because as an attorney who is working hard every day and striving to be the best at what I do, I only refer my clients for certain subject area specialty legal services (such as family law) to the lawyer who I believe is the best at what he or she does. Accordingly, I have referred many family law related cases to Ethan Jonah Marcus because he has proven time and time again that he in fact is the best at what he does, which is to help clients with their family law legal needs."
