The Best of the Best
I retained Markus in a case involving the wrongful death of a loved one. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. He knows the law inside and out. He handled my case with great skill, professionalism and compassion. Markus was absolutely tenacious and relentless in his pursuit of justice for my...
"I could not endorse Markus more highly. He is an excellent trial attorney. He is also personable and well-liked by colleagues and clients. Markus is a great story-teller. He has a marvelous ability to make your case and what happened to you real to a jury."
"Markus is one of the most knowledgeable, passionate plaintiff's attorneys practicing in the medical malpractice/personal injury area. I brought him in to be co-counsel with me on a very challenging neurosurgery medical malpractice case a couple of years ago, and his insights, knowledge and approach were instrumental in resolving the case. I would give him my highest endorsement."
"I have known Markus now for a few years and had the pleasure of seeing him in action in trial. He is without a doubt one of the great lawyers out there doing good work for his clients and the community around him. He is a consummate professional and works diligently to get the best result he can for his clients. I highly recommend, and endorse, Markus for the excellent work he does in his field!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I give Markus the highest possible rating. Markus is a trial lawyer's trial lawyer. We tried a very difficult cutting edge case in federal court in April 2012. We prevailed on behalf of our clients (unanimous jury). The clients were ecstatic. Markus was polite, brilliant, knew his way around the courtroom and the jurors loved him. He gets A++ in my book."
"Markus is an outstanding trial lawyer, and a fantastic advocate for his clients. He is extraordinarily accomplished with skills that are really second to none. Any client would be lucky to have Markus in their corner, and I wholeheartedly endorse him as a lawyer."
