Lawyers review

If you have a federal case against you Jonathan Marks is the lawyer for you. Jonh is professional, efficient, effective, patient and even a friend. I got a five year probation sentence when I was facing 10 years Jonh will give the best advice possible and he will not stop working to get you the be...st deal possible. He always there a phone call away and we all know how important that is he never send someone else to substitute him in court and he was always on time. It's a no brainier I recommend Jonh he is the lawyer you need he will get you the best results.

Dedicated, Confident, & Down To Earth Attorney !

Jon was tremendous during an extremely trying year for my family and I. Upon my arrest, which completely blindsided me, we met with several attorneys who all provided very little guidance or assurance. Jon was the only attorney who listened to the details of the case in a calm, engaged manner. He imm...ediately launched an investigation and contacted multiple witnesses. He reached out to the ADA on my behalf and arranged for a meeting with the ADA on two separate occasions. He prepared me for the ADA's tough questioning. He provided the ADA with contact info for the witnesses and documentation that proved certain allegations were false. He argued that the alleged victim was unreliable and communicated the alleged victim’s financial motivations for lying. I was eventually offered a plea bargain; however, we remained resolute in my complete innocence and prepared for the seemingly inevitable – trial. I was completely confident in Jon’s readiness for trial. After a year of living in fear of being indicted, the case was dismissed. My family and I are forever grateful to Jon for his commitment and candor throughout the entire process.

Excellent and Highly Relevant Advice and Consummate Professionalism

"I recently learned that I was being investigated for my role in carrying out a power of attorney I was asked to serve as for a longtime family friend Although I didn't believe I had done anything wrong I called Jon Marks who I had used previously and successfully in a civil litigation matter. Jonat...han immediately advised me and prepped me for my meeting with the district attorney which thanks to his help in preparing the records needed to support my contentions as well as what to expect at the meeting lead to the investigation being closed without any charges being filed. Jon's professionalism and kindness were key factors in the process and he has my highest recommendation." TP

Trustworthy and great lawyer

Jonathan Marks was my husband's attorney for a New York Dental Board matter. He immediately responded to my frantic phone call for legal help. I was struck how thoughtful and kind he was as he reassured me that all was not lost. He was true to his word and helped plead my husband's case a year later ...to the dental board. Mr.Marks was a very eloquent advocate and secured a favorable outcome for my husband. He is the first person we call when we have a legal matter.
