Great legal advice

When I called the law office of Anthony Marcus, I found him to be responsive, responsible and have integrity. He spends the time necessary to evaluate the situation and offers really good advice. He is good at diagnosing the situation/case and offers sound advice and references case studies. He ...took the time to listen and educated me as to the different options I had available. If you need legal advice look no further than the Anthony Marcus Law firm. You will be happy with your choice, I was!

FRIENDLY IMMIGRATION LAWYER

It was hard to find an affordable, honest, friendly, and knowledgeable attorney to represent my immigration case. I spoke to many attorneys and was not satisfied. However, after talking to attorney Anthony Marcus, I immediately observed his friendly personality and the way he understands my situation.... I hired him to petition for my spouse’s green card. He came to our house to explain the process and exhibited a confident knowledge of the Immigration law. The case was filed in December of 2018. At the end of May 2019, we got a request for clarification for my spouse’s birth certificate. Mr. Marcus explained why they needed that and asked for new original documents. After we gathered the materials, Mr. Marcus prepared a letter and sent it to the Immigration office. Within three months, my spouse’s work authorization was approved, and we received a letter scheduling the green card interview. Prior to the interview, Mr. Marcus met with us three times and rehearsed with us a mock interview twice. On the day of the interview, he came with us and explained the steps and communicated with the office during the interview. After a brief 20-minute interview, the officer asked us to wait outside in order to clear a small lapse of time in my spouse’s visa (he was as a student three months prior, when his F1 visa ended). Mr. Marcus explained why the officer needed approval from his supervisor. While we were waiting Mr. Marcus confidently told my spouse “congratulation on your green card!” That was even before the officer invited us back in and gave us the Green Card approval letter. I will always rely on the outstanding legal help of Anthony Marcus if needed in the future.

From a Felony to a Misdemeanor – From 100K Bail to OR

People v. Moncada After a night of drinking with my familia, I realized that I have to go to work, I called Uber, but they did not come. I was afraid to miss work, and I decided to drive myself to go to work. It was the wrong decision I enter the freeway and crossed all the lanes and hit a new 201...7 Honda. The hit caused the Honda to spun and hit the freeway wall to be total. My car also bounced out of control to the other direction of the freeway and hit the other wall and was totally inoperable. I was arrested and charged with a felony DUI, my bail was $100,000. Hiring Mr. Marcus was the only good news after this horrific experience. Mr. Marcus got me out of jail on OR without one penny out of my pocket; he then miraculously reduced my felony to a misdemeanor. The more amazing thing, Mr. Marcus struck a deal with the DA and I did not get jail time beyond the 4 days I spent in jail before he OR me. I only paid fine, participated in DUI program, and did community services. Mr. Marcus did not stop to defend me; he also went with me to my restitution hearing and dismissed the demand of the damages with zero dollars out of my pocket. I am speechless and out of words to thank him for his professionalism and zeal for his clients. He is not only an outstanding lawyer; he also treats people with respect and recognizes their dignity. The most important thing for me, that his legal fees were very affordable.

Helped me Without Any Change!

OMG Thank You!!! I'm honestly am left a bit speechless at how thankful I am for Anthony Marcus. Just now, I was literally left in shambles by a group posing as lawyers who left me high and dry. When I called Anthony Marcus, I was left feeling defeated and desolate. I didn't actually think anyone cou...ld help me. I called Anthony Marcus, and not only did he give me advice on my case in general, but he gave me step by step instructions for how to fight back and fix the damage that the group posing as lawyers had done. He empowered me, and he didn't charge a penny for the consult. He genuinely believes in doing good for people. I made sure to check how much his rates are because I definitely want to use his services after I fix this damage.

Attorney Marcus Dismissed my two felonies

People v. Marianne Roxas My attorney Anthony Marcus represented me in Medical fraud case. The Attorney General charged me with two counts of felony. Attorney Marcus was able to dismiss one felony count and reduce the second count from the felony to a misdemeanor. Not only that he was able to get me ...a Defer Entry of Judgment where I just paid restitution and did 50 hours of community services and the court accepted my withdraw to the guilty plea and dismiss the misdemeanor charge as if the crime never happened. This is incredible, I am able to get my nursing license and work in my field again. I was on the verge of losing my job in nursing, but because the diligent legal representation of my attorney, I am able to continue working without the hospital finding out about the mishap. Mr. Marcus fee was very affordable and flexible compared to other attorneys. He did a great job getting my felonies to one misdemeanor and finally, his hard work pays off by clearing my records and helps me to go on with my life and be with my family. Without a doubt I would recommend him, he is an exceptional legal counselor.
