Law Office of Mark J Markus

Thank you Mark for all that you have done for me. I highly recommend Mark Markus. There is just way too much info to research, forms to fill out, complex bankruptcy laws, etc. The paperwork alone is so much and detailed with complexity. The list just goes on and on. It is absolutely crazy to do on your own when your financial situation is on the line. You really want someone who is honest, tells you how it is, knows what he is doing, has done it for a long time, is certified in bankruptcy cases and is accessible. Mark Markus is all the above and more. He cares for his clients and it really shows. Even after the bankruptcy is over, he still wants to keep in touch with you to see how you have progressed financially. What other place or attorney does this? His web site is full of information and he is also available to answer questions. He is very patient and great to get along with. Do not go to just some cheap or low cost attorney or facility to do you bankruptcy. You will not regret using Mark Markus. Thanks again Mark.

I simply cannot thank Mark J. Markus enough nor recommend him enough to others. I had been dealing with major medical treatments for over two years. This put me in a bad place financially and I finally decided the only way I was going to alleviate the stress was to file Chapter 7. I did so representing myself which was a huge mistake. I spent days doing exhausting research into bankruptcy law and completed the 80+ page workbook only to have the agency I paid to prepare everything for me, completely mess up on some key details. I was able to catch some of the errors prior to filing but I missed a few as well. The Trustee was way more understanding than he had to be and gave me the chance to make amendments. This, nonetheless, caused a great deal of stress for me. I was still recovering from surgery #3 and all this did was put me in a downward spiral of feeling hopeless and depressed. I reached out to Mark J. Markus and he miraculously turned it all around for me. He assured me that he knew his laws (he is an absolute bankruptcy genius) and helped me so much by making the process as smooth and seamless as possible. He was always very quick to respond to my emails and questions and always provided insight and guidance that put me at ease. The Chapter 7 was discharged without issue after he handled the amendments and my only regret is not going to him in the first place. Please don’t represent yourself, please don’t have a «preparing agency» do the paperwork. Save yourself a lot of time and grief and just go right to Mark J. Markus. He will help you as he really cares and prides himself on doing the best work possible. What an amazing guy and truly a class act. Thank you Mark!

after my free phone consult I set up another hour appt. via online. It was great because did not want to battle traffic to get to an office if I did not have to and I was very confused about the law and my case is very complicated. There are all kinds of lawyers just like there are doctors. Some are brilliant but have horrible bedside manner. Some have great bedside manner but are not bright. In Marks case he is both bright and extremely knowledgeable while still allowing a person to fully express themselves and ask questions and still keeping things on track. I was very impressed because he really helped me and did not try to «sell» me his services. I talked to one bk attny. before that kept trying to tell me why i should do bk and how much it would help me, i talked to another who kept interrupting and was rude and told me he was the one doing the talking not me! so I was extremely impressed with Marks vast knowledge combined with thinking things out from all angles and together we figured out that bk was not my best option. I appreciate this very much and have all my questions answered now and can sleep better at night now! If I did ever file in future would choose him and he knows about all the chapters of bk (not just 7 and 13 but 11 too). Thank you Mark for really helping me.

Mark helped us immensely with our bankruptcy paperwork. He constantly kept in contact during the whole process. At the beginning, we were stressed out but he helped us through it. Great recommendation!

Mark helped me with my bankruptcy last year (sorry it took so long to write the review!). He was very helpful and answered my questions in a timely manner. He is very professional and he definitely knows what he’s doing. He also knows his laws. I didn’t have to meet him face-​to-​face or talk to him over the phone. Everything was through email, which is what I preferred. He even helped me almost a year after my case. If you want your bankruptcy done in a timely manner, go with Mark. He’ll make you feel less stressed about filing. Great service.

I highly recommend Mark to anybody who is considering filing bankruptcy in Ca.
My case was difficult, including a lot of business debt, but Mark handled it professionally and quickly. He is very knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful in ensuring his clients understand the entire process. And although our correspondence was online, he was always accessible and responded immediately to my questions and kept me updated throughout the process.
The pride he puts into his cases was apparent when I attended the Trustee meeting — my portion of the meeting was painless and took about three minutes –a testament to Mark’s skill and thoroughness. I watched as some people with different/​or no lawyers had a tough, long time just getting through the Trustee’s questions.
It’s not often one comes across a lawyer who is ethical and honest like Mark… he is worth every penny, and then some!

Mark was great with helping me through this stressful process. His patient responses to my repeated emails and overall knowledge of the process eased the pain of the wait. He responded quickly, even when i had already asked the question before, with the pertinent information. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
