Hung up on me before I could become a client?
I called (209) 888-8900, Markus Dombois answered and I asked: "Are you accepting new clients?" to which Markus said "You are trying to sell advertising and I don't have the time to talk to you." and hung up on me! Hung up as I was trying to explain that I was a prospective client - wow!!
Markus Dombois's Lawyer Endorsements
"Markus & I have worked on several important cases out of Stockton, Ca. We have started an association for Stockton & Modesto cases (http://stocktondefenselaw.com) so that tells you just how strongly I endorse his abilities. He is also very direct with his clients so that people get an honest appraisal of where they stand."
"Marcus is an amazing advocate for his clients. His biggest asset is his true passion for his job. If he takes your case you can rest assure there will be no one else who will fight harder, or present your version of the facts better. His knowledge of the law is superior, his tenacity unsurpassed! If you are thinking of hiring Mr. Dombois to take on your case, consider yourself lucky if he is available to take the case!"
"Markus is a hardworking, tireless advocate for his clients. He is passionate about what he does and will do what it takes to obtain justice for his clients. I wholly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Markus. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Markus is very knowledgable and extremely passionate about his work. He genuinely cares about his clients."
"I whole-heartedly endorse Markus Mueller. Markus Mueller is a passionate advocate, who regularly obtains incredible results for his clients. Markus has deservedly earned widespread respect in the criminal defense community because he has regularly taken difficult cases to trial and won and has stood up to the over-reaching and scorched earth litigation tactics of over-zealous deputy district attorneys. Markus is a seasoned criminal defense attorney, who cares about his clients deeply. You can put your faith in Markus and trust that he will obtain an excellent result."
"This endorsement is long over due. Markus is a regular attendee at the California DUI Lawyer's Association continuing education programs and is a regular contributor to the list-serve associated with the same organization. I first met Markus at a 3 day DUI Standardized Field Sobriety Test training class put on by retired Chief of Police Robert Lapier in Oakland, October 2-4, 2009. I have watched Markus conduct his defense in a DUI trial here in Sacramento. His work ethics are similar to my own. I have no reservations about giving his name out as a hard working attorney and hope that you will give him some consideration if you are in need of Criminal or DUI defense assistance in the counties where he practices."
"Mr. Mueller-Dombois is simply an exceptional attorney who I would recommend to everyone and anyone. I am a former judge, former magistrate, former prosecutor, and an attorney with 24 years of experience. I still learn from his answers on Avvo on a daily basis and I am constantly impressed."
"Talented, creative and tough! Markus is one of the best criminal defense attorneys that I've ever encountered! He will fight for you! You will get the results that you deserve! Just an extraordinary legal mind!"
"Markus really cares about fighting for justice for his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Dombois has always fought for the defense. His passion and dedication to his clients are what makes him a true soldier fighting for the accused. Whether charged with a DUI or complex white collar crime, Mr. Dombois gives his clients the personal attention they deserve."
"I endorse this lawyer. Marcus Mueller-Dubois is an exceptionally competent, aggressive and dedicated criminal defense attorney. I Have known Mr. Dombois for several years. I believe him to be the trial lawyer for criminal defense and DUI in the Central Valley of California. He works aggressively to defend his clients and is a true litigator"
"I endorse this lawyer. Marcus has been instrumental in acting quickly when criminal investgations begin. In several cases that have been referred to him he has helped prevent prosecution by communicating with law enforcement on behalf of a suspect to clarify a simple mistake of information or fact."
"Marcus Mueller-Dubois is an exceptionally competent, aggressive and dedicated criminal defense attorney. He works tirelessly for his clients to achieve the best possible outcome. He is an experienced trial lawyer that any client would be fortunate to have by their side."
"I endorse this lawyer. Have known Mr. Dombois for several years. I believe him to be committed to his clients and intent on achieving the best results."
"If you are looking for a successful outcome and even a full fledged fight for your innocence, contact Markus. He is the trial lawyer for criminal defense and DUI in the Central Valley of California. Put Markus on your list of DUI and criminal lawyers to interview for your case."
"You will be in good hands with Markus Mueller-Dombois. He works aggressively to defend his clients and is a true litigator. Markus' commitment to his clients is well known. You will be well served with Mr. Mueller-Dombois on your side."
