Me and my family accidentally stumbled upon this law firm Michael Marks initially charged us $5000 deposit by the end of our time with him it almost was $10,000 and nothing was done. His other attorneys that were helping them out, left during our case, and went to other law firms, so Michael had to finish, and he was the worst. Beware every conversation via telephone was over $100 just to talk about nothing because his other people had already done the work and he just never looked at the case He also will charge you $60 for every email. He basically nickeled and dime my family and we got nothing out of him except for wasting two years. We ended up going to another law, firm and cutting our losses with this ass I wouldn't recommend anybody going to him or this law firm. I should've done my research. He already has a few legal cases against him that are public knowledge for nickel and diming people. I strongly recommend nobody go and use this law firm unless you want to lose at least $10,000 and get nothing for it . A lady that married my father decided to go after my deceased, mothers estate, as well as my father's estate and she had her own attorney. Well Mr. Marks decided to be a friend of that attorney and did nothing to help Us in that case he was more helping the other attorney , and just taking us for a monetary ride at our expense . I like can say to anybody looking at this law firm, do your research because it's out there and it's public knowledge that he has been disciplined and suspended for his past corruption read more

Retained Attorney Michael Marks with a fixed fee arrangement to handle my mother's affairs once she become ill and no longer able to care for herself. I paid the first half ($3000) of the fixed fee. After a brief stay in the hospital and a care facility, my mother unfortunately passed away. Because of her untimely death, he was not able to take any substantial action on my mother's behalf. For this reason, I felt I was due a partial refund. My brother personally visited the law office to follow up on this matter (since he lives in Pittsburgh and I live in New Jersey) and he was told by the attorney's legal aide that we were due an approximately $2700 refund and she apologized for the delay in cutting a check. When no check was forthcoming, I inquired further. Michael Marks responded with a carefully-worded letter stating that because we chose the fixed fee option, we were not entitled to a refund, and further that he "gets paid for knowing what to do and coming up with the underlying strategy, not just for carrying it out". He listed the specific issues that he worked on and stated that the flat fee "is not a fee calculated according to the attorney time expended". read more
