Scott Allen Marks's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mr. Marks is one of the finest immigration layers I have ever met. We worked together on many complex immigration cases and almost always won. If I needed an immigration lawyer for a family member he would handle my case."
"Not only smart but caring and diligent."
"Scott Marks and I have successfully argued several deportation matters together before the Board of Immigration Appeal and 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. He is an excellent litigator and persuasive writer. I often seek his advise on complex immigration matters and he is always receptive and responsive. I know I share this high opinion of him with many of our colleagues."
"Not merely an extraordinary immigration attorney, but a pillar of the immigration bar."
"Scott has an in depth knowledge of immigration law and the logistics of moving matters forward before the immigration court. He is an excellent attorney and a pleasure to work with."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is a superior practitioner who resolves the most difficult legal matters. Judges and opposing counsel recognize and respect his appearance in court. Count yourself as fortunate if Mr.Marks is your lawyer; you're in good hands."
"Mr. Marks is one of the handful of immigration attorneys in the United States who is capable of taking an immigration matter to federal court. He has a proven track record. If you have a case that needs to be litigated all the way to the Supreme Court, he is one of the elite few who will be able to litigate such a case."
