Best Attorney Ever

I have been in the country for 30 years without any legal documents except the DACA status. I got married and my attorney, Anthony Marcus petitioned for me through my spouse. The application got approved, then, Mr. Marcus applied for my adjustment of status. After 7 months, we received a letter stati...ng that the adjustment of status and all other applications associated with it are suspended. That means I cannot obtain my travel documents to legally reenter the United States to complete the adjustment of status requirements. I was in distress over this, however, Mr. Marcus applied for an emergency advance parole to leave and reenter the United States. He made an emergency appointment within two days of his phone call to the USCIS. We went to the local USCIS Field Center, we pled my case with the immigration officer, the officer sent us to make a biometric and come back with an hour and half to receive the travel document. WOW, I cannot believe it, I will be able to leave to Mexico and come back to receive my Green Card. Thanks to my attorney for his diligent full-heated work with me!

BEST IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY

BEST IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY: After a long history and severe religious persecution and torture in my homeland, I came to the United States to seek refuge. I searched for an honest experience attorney to represent my case with the Office of Asylum. Through a friend, I found attorney Anthony Marcus. We ...met with him for consultation and within half an hour, we can see his knowledge and ethical demeanor, we then hired him for our case. He was very helpful and assisted us in filling the application, gathering the documents needed. He answered our phone call without a delay when we called him and also updated us with the progress of the case. Within six months we got our asylum interview. He prepared us by creating a list of questions based on the facts of our case. He trained us on how to answer. Our preparation was comprehensive and to the point. This was proven when we attended the interview; the officer asked us the questions that Mr. Marcus trained us to answer. Not only that but after the officer finished the interview, Mr. Marcus asked me a series of questions in conclusion of the interview and give his closing statement that summarized the important points in our case. Within two weeks our case was approved. Thanks to Mr. Marcus we are protected and will stay indefinitely in the United States.

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.

Dismissed my Felony!

People v. Hernandez During a B.B.Q. with family, my girlfriend engaged in a fight with the neighbor. The fight quickly escalated and three girls were in the top of my girlfriend. I tried to get my girlfriend from underneath them, but the husband of the neighbor kicked me and starts to chase me. Af...ter the fight stopped, the police came searching for me and I was accused of a felony, an assault with a deadly weapon. I searched for an attorney until, I find Mr. Marcus, and from the first consultation he was very accommodating and answered all our questions, he also give me a great payment plan. In the first hearing Mr. Marcus was able to reduce the felony into a misdemeanor. Later, through his diligent negotiation with the DA he got me a great deal, where I was only to pay restitution of $500 and take 12 hours class of anger management, pending a Differ Entry of Judgment, where I withdraw my guilty plea and the judge dismissed even the misdemeanor ending up with no records of the incident. I highly recommend Mr. Marcus for his knowledge of the law and diligence in representing his clients.

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.
