Marcus William Kroll

Marcus was extremely knowledgeable with our family guardianship case. He helped us understand the process, our options and ramifications of choices. In the end, our family is protected and we have everyone's best interests in line. Marcus has the utmost professionalism in the court room. Although... family situations can be extremely fragile, Marcus displays the highest of courtesy with my family members.

Beware of this attorney, he interviews well and then suddenly quit our case. We left off with great feedback before Memorial Day. Here is the communication from Kroll so you can see for yourself. "Their strong points: Lawyer (and wife) signed the Will and will testify that your father was 100% c...ompetent." "Our strong points: Lawyer didn’t keep notes, financial records, didn’t ask about health, took his orders from Sue, and probably isn’t trained to recognize lack of capacity. You can see in those emails and his lack of production of a planning file that he definitely cut corners." Suddenly Marcus Kroll emails nearly a month later and states: "The Judge held a conference today on this matter and basically indicated that he thinks Jim Morris is the most ethical attorney he’s ever known, that he doesn’t find it unusual there were no notes (given how short the Will is) and that this is going nowhere. He also indicated he would entertain a claim of sanctions by the estate against both of you if we continue this. I disagree that no notes is normal – there’s cases out there showing that an estate planning attorney has an obligation to inquire into the health of the individual – but the risk of sanctions and this judge’s personal opinion of Mr. Morris (despite all the evidence against him) lends me to think that there’s enough personal bias in favor of Mr. Morris that we’d be facing some serious consequences for moving forward with this matter. In addition, for an attorney not to take notes on a Will disinheriting the children is extremely unusual. Nonetheless, the Judge is pretty clear on his opinion of Mr. Morris and our case. Based on all of this I’d advise you to withdraw your pleadings. Keeping in mind I’ve performed substantial additional work beyond what was initially anticipated with our first payment, I’d waive any further payments on this matter." I wouldn't recommend this attorney to anyone. He's unprofessional. He didn't even notify us of the conference being held and did not represent us zealously. A complete scam artist.
