I can’t say enough about Mr. Marks as an attorney and person. I really owe my life and freedom to Mr. Marks. I was in an awful situation which was complicated by untruthful legal matters from my ex right before the Christmas weekend. I reached out to Mr. Marks for the first time on Christmas weekend and he dropped everything to help me out of an impossible UCCJEA situation. Mr. Marks prepared and filed all the paperwork first thing Monday and because of Mr. Marks, the untruthful matters were squashed as a direct result of his amazing skills as a lawyer and kindness as a person. In contrast, I was told by another attorney there was nothing I could do, Mr. Marks proved otherwise. Mr. Marks will go above and beyond for you as a client, make you feel as if you’re his only client and you’ll trust him implicitly. Thank you to Mr. Marks and Debbi for all of your amazing work.
Great Lawyer very professional guy.

Jonathan Marks is one of the most competent attorneys I have ever known. In addition, he explains complex legal matters in a way that is not only easy to understand, but also he makes it easy to discuss. Jonathan has been my attorney for nearly 10 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do the job as long as Jonathan is available. I am his client for life, because he’s earned my loyalty, my business and most importantly, MY RESPECT.
Thanks Jonathan your attention to detail is superb.
Jonathan’s firm and I have worked together on several business valuation assignments. He is a true professional who put his client’s interests first. Jonathan is also very knowledgeable of the tax law as it relates to marital dissolutions.
I had initially hired Jonathan Marks for a case of legal separation that eventually turned into a divorce. Jonathan successfully represented me both times. He has helped me navigate the complexities of the divorce process, child custody, and post-divorce rehabilitation. He is sincere and straightforward about what one can expect from a case. Client satisfaction is the number 1 priority at his firm, and this was reflected time and again by his prompt attention and responsiveness to the case-related matters. While the divorce was very emotionally driven for me, he kept my focus on the goals and the best interest of the kids. Throughout the process, he remained cognizant of the needs of my children, comprehended and respected my values. He is very meticulous in his work and extremely knowledgeable. I could not have asked for a better attorney and a law firm to be by my side during this process. I would highly recommend Jonathan and The Marks Law Firm to anyone seeking legal help in family law matters.
The Marks Law Firm have been representing me for over eight years now. I cannot say or express more gratitude. Their teamwork and dynamic of understanding of your needs and of the family have kept me, more than once, from losing my military bearing. They have my utmost trust and confidence. To them all, THANK YOU.
Jonathan has been wonderful, his advice is logical and sound! I highly recommend!
Jonathan Marks was an excellent choice as my lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional. Jonathan worked with me every step of the way to make sure I understood all aspects of my case and worked hard on my behalf. Jonathan set realistic expectations, was a reassuring voice of reason and helped me achieve the outcome I desired. I would highly recommend Jonathan and the Marks Law Firm!
I always appreciate Jonathan’s insight and advice!
Jonathan and Debbi provide responsiveness, deep expertise, and balance to help navigate the legal waters during a very difficult situation. Even more impressive to me though, is the fact that over the years, as the unanticipated questions of life continue, the responsiveness and expertise from the team continue as well.
My experience with the Marks Law Firm and specifically, Jonathan Marks, was exceptional. Jonathan has handles several legal matters for me over the past several years and I have been extremely satisfied with all the outcomes. Debbi in the office has also been a pleasure to deal with. The communication from the law office was always timely and I have referred several individuals and businesses to his firm and will continue to do so in the future.
I used Jonathan Marks for both my initial divorce proceedings and a recent motion to modify. He and Debbi are prompt in returning phone calls and emails. Jonathan understood (and was able to deal with) my roller coaster emotions during the entire process and he always made me feel comfortable during phone calls and meetings. He was able to communicate the facts of my cases and I always knew the realistic expectations for outcomes. I especially liked that he fought for me to get what I deserved and what the law said I could get based on the evidence. Although he was certainly willing to go to trial if I did not get what I requested, he worked to get these results via a settlement. Although divorce stinks and there really are no ‘winners’, in the end, I was extremely happy with the outcomes.
Jonathan is an excellent lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and dependable. I don’t think I could have asked for better representation and I am very happy with the outcome of my case.
Jonathan was a great choice for a lawyer. He was very professional and calming. He has expert knowledge and was able to help me achieve the best possible outcome for my case. I could not have asked for better results. I even called him the night before court and had him redo all the paperwork and he had it completed and ready to go! I am very pleased that I chose Jonathan to represent me! Thank you Marks Law Firm!!!
Great team of lawyers that care about their clients.
Jonathan and Debbi exceeded our expectations with regards to handling our relocation and motion to modify the current parenting plan in place. Debbi was on top of everything it took to coordinate the process and we are very grateful. Jonathan was not only extremely responsive, professional and well versed in our particular area of need, he was one step ahead throughout the course of our case. He takes the time to explain the process and express outcome expectations as they relate to case law. It was a great pleasure to work with him. If you or someone you know is in need of an exceptional family law attorney in the Greater St. Louis area – I highly recommend you reach out to The Marks Law Firm! Thank you both so much! #markslawfirm #stlouisfamilylaw #stlouistopattorney.
I can’t say enough about how amazing it was to work with Amy Bender-Levy and the Marks Law Firm. I was impressed with how attentive yet professional everything was handled. Amy was highly recommended by another firm and as soon as I spoke with her on the phone I felt she had my best interests in mind. From the first interaction through filing and judgment her firm was impeccable with their word and gave excellent counsel. If you are looking for a well respected, well liked and all around personable lawyer, I can’t say enough about Amy Bender-Levy and the Marks Law Firm.
Jonathon Marks was fantastic as my lawyer through a difficult divorce. Always calm and logical, he helped me thru a difficult experience. He was extremely fair and reasonable in terms of fees. If you have to go thru this unfortunate event in your life, I highly endorse the Marks Law Firm.
Jonathan helped our family complete our step parent adoption quickly and efficiently! He explained everything in specific detail and walked us through every step of the process! So thankful to have him standing beside us and helping complete our family. Jonathan even took a family photo for us commemorate the historical moment! If you ever need legal assistance Jonathan Marks Law Firm is the way to go! Jonathan was very compassionate and dedicated to our family and was always available no matter what. Debbi at the front is one of the best who works with Jonathan as well. She always helped keep us informed, polite, patient and quick with responses. This is the firm to be at no matter your needs! Thanks Jonathan and Debbi!
The Marks Law Firm got me through my divorce promptly and competently. Everyone in the office was always professional and sensitive, downright welcoming. It was never difficult to get in touch with my attorney and all my questions were answered patiently. High quality representation.
My experience with the Marks Law Firm has been outstanding. I am so grateful for everyone at the office. My attorney was Jonathan Marks. He helped me with a divorce, with which I had no experience with and had no idea what to expect. Not only did he advise me, he understood that I was emotionally spent due to the horrific experiences I endured over the last two years of my marriage. I would think that my case was a difficult one. A divorce that turned into a protection order, then a battle with children etc. Even during the times that an attorney was not required, such as filing related paperwork at the court house that should have been an easy task, Jonathan met me there to ensure I filled out the paperwork properly. He didn’t have to do that, but understood that I was a wreck. My children and I owe The Marks Law Firm and Jonathan specifically, a great deal of gratitude for seeing my process through, being available 24/7, 7 days a week, and ensuring that my case went exactly how I wanted it to go. In situations where you have a lot on the line, go with the Marks. I would highly recommend this firm! Thanks Jonathan, Amy, and Debbi. You made sure that I got everything I wanted! Thank You.
Jonathan was so good about getting back to me when I needed him. Divorce can be an ugly process and he kept me focused on what needed to be done and not on those “other” things that really don’t matter. His demeanor is calm but confident and in control of all situations that my divorce went through. I HIGHLY recommend his counsel!
Divorce is stressful, painful and just sad. You hear people talking about their experiences, but until you go through it yourself you have no idea of the impact. Amy Bender-Levy, attorney with the Marks Law Firm, was on my side from the very beginning. I had interviewed several attorneys, but when I started talking to Amy, I knew I was in the right place. Her positive attitude coupled with her professional guidance allowed me to go about my day to day activities knowing she was continually working for my best interest. If you need a good family lawyer, don’t hesitate to contact The Marks Law Firm.
I have been a client with the Marks Law Firm for over 10 years. I can not imagine anyone else that I would entrust with handling my divorce. The firm makes you feel like family and they are gong to do everything they can to help you. You are their number one priority. I highly recommend them to anyone who has to go through a divorce.
I had a really complex divorce and child custody case where I thought it would be no chance of me winning, but Amy Bender-Levy of Marks Law Firm was just absolutely wonderful and very knowledgeable in Missouri family law. It was a very emotional experience for me but Amy played the whole roll of lawyer, counselor, and I can even call her a friend now. I would Strongly STRongly STRONGLY recommend Amy from Marks Law Firm for your family court needs.
Jonathan is an amazing attorney who goes above and beyond. Divorce is complicated and emotional. Jonathan not only provided thorough legal support; he also provided wisdom and emotional support that helped me through the entire divorce process. I can not at enough wonderful things about Jonathan and the entire staff at the Marks Firm.
Amy was very professional, compassionate, and had my best interests at heart throughout the entire process. She represented me very well and I definitely recommend her and the firm’s services.
I highly recommend Jonathan if you find yourself in need of a family law attorney. He is straightforward and worked very hard for me. Since my divorce, I have had need of an attorney twice for modifications. Jonathan was THE VERY BEST attorney I’ve had so far. I would hire him again and recommend him to anybody.
I’ve hired Jonathan on more than one occasion. In each instance, he handled my cases skillfully and tactfully. At all times, Jonathan remained sensitive to the needs of my family, and never lost sight of the best interests of my children. He was extremely approachable and available, which was of paramount importance to me as a client. My last case involved a temporary restraining order with a subsequent motion to modify child custody. In this particular matter, time was of the essence – and Jonathan was able to expedite the proceedings in such a way that I was able to achieve my goals without delay. Ultimately, Jonathan won sole legal custody, and sole physical custody for me. I would highly recommend Jonathan to my friends and family, and have done so in the past. He is an outstanding attorney.
I owe a great thanks to Mr. Marks and Mrs. Bender-Levy. They showed nothing but exceptional intelligence and professionalism during my entire ordeal. Emails were always returned promptly even if I thought the questions were silly. Both were always very honest about issues regarding my case and did not try to sugarcoat anything (this is good thing). Nor did they try and rack up any asinine charges for things such as voice mails, phone calls and other items such as that. I would without a doubt recommend anyone needing this particular type of legal expertise to use this Law Firm.
The Marks Law Firm. In four words utmost professional, first class. If not the best law fim in St. Louis than one of the best. Jonathan Marks, what can I say. Got me thru the most difficult, No, the abouselutey worst experience of my life. Because of the Marks Law Firm I am closer to my children, friends with my x wife and can live my life and be happy. Jonathan, Murray, Amy and Debbie. THANK YOU!
As a father, I am proud to say that Jonathan Marks won me sole legal custody of my two boys. Hire this Firm if you want to win your case. Jonathan is an expert litigation attorney and knows what evidence to use to win your case. Jonathan does a tremendous job on cross examination and aggressively fights in court. Finally, you get what you pay for and The Marks Law Firm is by far the most honest firm I’ve dealt with regarding fees- no extra bills. If you have a valid case, and they will let you know if you do, I would highly recommend The Marks Law Firm.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jonathan twice over the last couple years. His experience and savvy set my mind at ease as he does his due diligence, is well prepared, sharp, and responsive. Jonathan is honest, concise, and straight to the point in regards to the case, what to expect, and the what the outcome could be. His explanations are logical and full of common sense which makes them easy to understand and follow. He understood my situation and also remembered the details of my previous case which was nice as I didn’t have to re-explain my purpose for needing his representation again. My exchanges with Debbi were always more than pleasant, she’s very polite, sweet and prompt. While I hope I never need representation in the future, I wouldn’t go anywhere else if I do. I’m grateful for the guidance I received from Jonathan and for the outcomes I had in both instances.
Jonathan Marks is a consummate professional. He was the voice of calm and reason through a difficult process. I truly value his guidance.
I had total confidence in Jonathan and Amy. They made a difficult situation much less stressful. I highly recommend The Marks Law Firm.
I have recommended the Marks law firm to several of my friends and family. I am “that client” I like to know everything that is going on, what our options are and what the possible outcomes may be. Jonathan was always very accessible and returned calls promptly. He understands how stressful and upsetting it is when you are going through personal situations and was wonderful at explaining things each step of the way to make it a bit easier. I am grateful for the way Jonathan handled mine and my father’s cases with such dignity and compassion. My sincerest thanks.
Jonathan was an excellent attorney and I can’t speak highly enough of his services and firm. I found Jonathan to not only be an expert in family law, but more importantly in case law pertaining to the education of children with special needs. His actions continuously demonstrated my case was important to him which provided much needed peace during the legal process. The outcome of my case was highly favorable.
Jonathan did an excellent and timely job with the mediation process. He went out of his way to explain things from a legal perspective in terms that both parties could clearly understand. He is fair, flexible, and has the ability to make difficult topics easy to discuss in a constructive way. Highly recommended.
Recently Jonathan Marks assisted me with a very sensitive custody modification. Jonathan was there to answer questions or concerns I had and addressed everything in an expedited manner. During this hard time for my family Jonathan made it a little easier to accept the changes that we were facing. The Marks Law Firm is very professional and caring of their clients. I would highly recommend Jonathan Marks with the Marks Law Firm to anyone needing legal help. 10+ stars!
Amy was fantastic to work with regarding our step-parent adoption. She was very thorough, set expectations early on, and provided us with updates throughout the process. Thank you!
Jonathan Marks represented me in a relocation case involving my ex wife. He has been a great advocate for my rights as a father. I have found him to be candid regarding my case, fair on his legal fees and respected by the judge who heard my case. I wish I would have used him when I got divorced 6 years ago! I heartily recommend his legal services to other fathers out there, who are seeking to protect their rights, in times of divorce , custody or other domestic litigation.
Since divorce is one of the most unpleasant things one can go through in life, – its extremely helpful to have an intelligent attorney in your corner. I was grateful to have Jonathan Marks recommended to me. He was able to skillfully negotiate a settlement that was far more favorable than I thought it would be. He is a true professional that I would recommend to anybody.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would do so! I approached Jonathan Marks several years ago based on a recommendation by another well-respected attorney in the area. Jonathan has advised, guided, and assisted me through every aspect of my very complicated and on-going divorce situation. Jonathan took the time during our initial consult to get to know me personally so that he could make recommendations based on what would be best for me and my family. I am a classic Type-A personality and tend to be overly analytical as well as emotional when it comes to matters involving my family. Jonathan is very responsive, thorough, and most of all patient with me and all of the requests that I make of him. Jonathan explains situations and options to me truthfully and objectively. Jonathan goes out of his way to make sure that I have all of the information I need in order to make sound, confident decisions. I have also sought Jonathan’s counsel for matters related to my employment as well as familial matters outside of my divorce situation. I could not have asked for a better counselor and will continue to leverage Jonathan’s expertise of the law for every legal situation that arises for me and my family. I send everyone looking for a GREAT attorney in Jonathan’s direction. A big and continued thank you to Jonathan and his team.
Jonathan did an excellent and timely job with the mediation process. He went out of his way to explain things from a legal perspective in terms that both parties could clearly understand.

This review is 2 months overdue. The staff of the Marks Law Firm are remarkable!!!! Mr. Marks, from the first interaction, displayed professionalism, thorough knowledge of topic, and he answered all of my questions presented. His Associate to the firm, Amy Bender-Levy, is equally impressive. She also continuously progressed our objectives in the right direction. The case was an Interstate Custody Modification which was not easy of nature. There were many obstacles and headaches throughout the proceedings. For instance, written depositions of 74 questions presented by opposing counsel, dispelling child abuse allegations, etc. The other party found numerous methods of adding stress (e.g. fabrications) and strain both financially and to our emotional well-being. The custody process at times seemed to cast a shadow over our children’s milestones that should have been relished. Nevertheless, the case never appeared daunting to the “A Team”; they relentlessly pressed forward. The opposing party had “unclean hands”; hence, a contempt of court was filed. This firm had a goal to seek out “the best interests of my children.” This desire came to fruition. I am blessed with 2 children awakening me every morning with those all too common words, “What’s for breakfast mom?” The end result of the well versed and VERY seasoned Mr. Marks.
I highly recommend Jonathan Marks as an attorney to represent you if a family law attorney is needed. Jonathan came highly recommended to me and I was not disappointed one bit. Of course all attorney’s handle multiple cases at one time, however with Jonathan he always made me feel I was his only – and most important client. This evident in his quick response time to me if needed as well as full knowledge of my particular situation. In my situation my ex-spouse and I appeared to be far apart, and perhaps heading towards a trial – which with a family and children involved was not something I wanted to do. Jonathan was able to use his skills to negotiate what was a fair and acceptable solution to both parties, thus avoiding a trial. Just as Jonathan was recommended to me, I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend him to others.
Jonathan has represented me in a case of legal separation, and I highly recommend him and his firm to anyone seeking legal help in a family law matter. Jonathan discussed every aspect of my case with patience and consideration, addressing all my questions and educating me about the process. He took the time to understand my dynamics and family background. Most importantly, throughout this 1.5 year process, he has remained cognizant of the needs of my children and has worked towards achieving the goals while respecting my values. Jonathan is very meticulous in his work and has been very approachable with any questions or concerns related to the case throughout this process. He is honest and straightforward about what one can expect from a case and advocates his clients towards a meaningful outcome. While the family law matters are emotionally driven, he kept me focussed on the goals while keeping the playing field leveled. I have been very pleased with my experience with his law firm and would recommend Jonathan to anyone without any hesitation.
I hired Jonathan because ex-wife was refusing one of my scheduled visitation. At the time I lived in a different state then my child. During my divorce I had hired an attorney that was leaving her firm. I did not know about this at the time. All she wanted to do was get my case over with so she could start her new job. Needless to say I ended up with a very bad agreement. I spoke to Jonathan about my current agreement when I was discussing the visitation problem. Jonathan let me know it would be in my best interest to move back to Missouri so he could modify my agreement. Jonathan is a very honest and straight forward attorney. He told me what to expect and that is exactly what I got and more. My previous attorney said I was going to get all this stuff that never happened so I was very relieved with the outcome of my case. I would recommend Jonathan over any other attorney in St. Louis.
I have used Jonathan on several occasions. He is very professional, rational and made me feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend him for anyones legal needs.
Jonathan outlined a strategy for my case and executed at every step in a long process. He is smart, strategic and relentless in the representation of his clients. His efforts directly resulted in a favorable outcome for my case with the end result of my maintenance being cut in half. He was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him!
Jonathan represented me in a family case several years ago, and continues to represent me as matters evolve over time and need to be revisited. Given many cases are compounded by emotional-driven issues for clients, myself included, Jonathan remains very helpful in taking the time to educate me on what to expect through each step of the process, explaining my rights and keeping me centered on the desired outcome. Jonathan has always taken the time to swiftly answer my questions and counsel me on the most effective ways to address concerns I may have with other parties involved in the case, which I find to be one of the most valuable aspects of our working partnership. When navigating through what can feel like a legal battlefield at times, I remain comforted by the fact the Jonathan is only an email or phone call away. And as a side note, not only did I quickly figure out he was one of the best family attorneys around by working with him, but the attorney representing the other party in my case warned his client that they were up against the best – meaning Jonathan!
If you are lucky enough to have Jonathan Marks for your divorce attorney consider yourself blessed and in very good hands. He is highly knowledgeable and respected by both his colleagues and judges. Jonathan gives lawyers a good name! He walks you through every step of the divorce process and is a straight shooter. You will appreciate his kind demeanor, compassion and understanding of the complicated laws. He’s not only the best attorney in St. Louis, but truly cares about you and your well being while going through such a difficult time. He is a rare, gem and St Louis is fortunate to have him. Thank you Jonathan for going above and beyond to represent me, I am truly grateful.
Amy Bender-Levy represented my custody case. She was honest from the start about what we could expect and followed through with everything we discussed. She represented me better than I expected due to my prior experience with lawyers in this case. She did not put a stereotype on me just because I’m the father (which has happened more than you would believe). She listened to me about what I wanted and remained steady when I was frustrated with the process. In the end, everything I wanted accomplished was done and my kids are 1000 times happier. My wife and I were treated with respect and compassion the entire time. Emails and phone calls were answered quickly every single time. Amy will be on speed dial should we need anything else! I’d recommend her over and over to any good parent that is struggling like I was, actually already have. She helped turn a very stressful situation around and I couldn’t put in words how thankful we are. You will not be disappointed if you choose to work with this firm!
Jonathan did a wonderful job with my case. The most impressive thing about Jonathan is his ability to understand what his clients are going through and how they feel. He listens so well, and then he was able to help ME understand the situation.
I have used The Marks Law Firm two separate times for my case. Once for a relocation and once for a Modification. Both times my outcome was as hoped for. Jonathan is an amazing lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone needing help in divorce or custody. Himself and his office staff are courteous and go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and reassured with any questions I may have had. I will definitely use The Marks Law Firm for any other further issues I may have if need be!
I can’t say enough great things about Jonathan. I came into the office scared and unsure about the divorce process. Jonathan made me feel at ease and told me that I needed to worry about being a good mom and he would take care of the divorce. He did just that. He also made me feel like a priority. He always had my back and was looking out for my best interest. He treated me with respect and always went above and beyond what was required. He is an outstanding lawyer and person. I would highly recommend Jonathan!
Jonathan Marks is arguably the best divorce lawyer in the St. Louis area. His reputation is sterling within the legal community and is respected universally by judges and other attorneys. He is one of the few divorce lawyers you can trust. Most lawyers will tell their clients what they want to hear and take advantage of their vulnerable state while racking up huge fees. Jonathan will only tell you the truth. Every hour he charges you, you know it’s for work that was necessary for your case. He will also get you the best deal possible because he truly does put his clients needs first which is why he’s so successful and so sought after. In short, if Jonathan Marks agrees to take your case, consider yourself lucky.
When searching for a divorce attorney I was referred to Jonathan by a friend. My plan was to interview three attorneys before choosing one, but once I met and talked with him I knew I did not need to look any further. He was very understanding, once we had discussed in detail the way my case would be presented he began the process and kept me informed step by step. Jonathan understands the laws completely and can be trusted, which is so important ! I feel comfortable sending family and friends to Jonathan for help, I know he will do the best job for them as he did for me. Thank You!
I highly recommend Jonathan over any attorney in St. Louis. I did my research when finding The Marks Law Firm and Jonathan’s reputation has superseded all his reviews. When choosing an attorney, you want someone who cares about what you’re going through. Here recently, Jonathan actually called me back on a Sunday afternoon to discuss an alarming situation. The man has a way of seeing right through a case! He has helped me get custody of my daughter, looked over various contracts/wills and recently helped advise against polygraphs that were recommended by St. Louis detectives. He’s made a huge impact on my family’s quality of life! From Family law, criminal defense and looking over various contracts, justice has always prevailed! He will tell you, “It’s not about winning or losing”, but seriously the man is a flipping genius and doesn’t lose. When choosing a lawyer you can count on, choose The Marks Law Firm!
When I was thrown under the bus by my ex-wife, I took immediate action by obtaining Jonathan Marks to represent me. Not only did he keep me informed with everything pertaining to my case, but fought for my rights. Overall, he won the case for me! My wife and I are so thankful for everything he did; and, we highly recommend him for anyone looking for a family law attorney, he is your man. Jonathan Marks is a very smart guy to have by your side.

If you have to go to court, this is the man you want at your side. He is brilliant, his preparation is meticulous, and he will aggressively litigate your case to the best possible outcome. He gave me sound legal advice throughout a six-month ordeal, and in the end he was exactly right on every call (not to mention two steps ahead of opposing council!).

I will definitely recommend Jonathan to any of my friends and family that is in need of representation. He was extremely professional, thourough, honest and compassionate during my dispute. Additionally, I received a very favorable outcome. He will work very hard for you! He deserves nothing less than a “five star” rating. Thank you.

I went to the Marks law firm after I was disappointed with another lawyer that was getting no results, and did not inform me about several things I needed to know. Once they took over, the divorce went quickly.I was very happy with the results, and was kept well informed, and felt comfortable asking questions. The marks firm has also helped with a family matter with my son.I have recommended two other people to their firm, and will continue to.
Jonathan is a consummate professional that gets results. He and his staff treated my family with compassion and gave me great advice when I was lost. We wouldn’t use anyone else.
I recently just wrote a Thank You Notes to The Marks Law Firm. “I thank you all the prompt and thorough attention service for obtaining a successful outcome.” It describes overall how my experience with the teamwork of Jonathan’s legal practice. Amy~ is a very thoughtful and caring attorney to update the progress of my case while Jonathan was busy occupied at the moments handling other client’s trials. Debbi~ is no doubt the greatest legal assistant, who always makes sure Jonathan would timely respond to whatever questions or problems I need Jonathan’s attention. Jonathan ~ There are too many great things to give the review of how Jonathan handled and represented me for the past year on my divorce case since I fired the previous lawyer. “Super Lawyer” and “Best Lawyer” these awards obviously already give prospective clients the positive concept of professionalism, quality of service and clients satisfaction they could expect receiving from Jonathan, which I have proved nothing missed on my case. After all, I am a happy client. Jonathan does not only change my life forever but also helps me Find LIFE.
I have utilized Jonathan for former family law issues. I recently used Jonathan to represent me for another family law debacle. I can’t say enough about the professionalism, compassion, knowledge, skillset and abilities he always demonstrates. Jonathan is highly dependable and is always well prepared. Jonathan is a strong and forceful advocate in the courtroom. He is also very skilled at negotiating settlements and working amicably with clients and opposing counsel. I highly recommend him without any reservations!
I transferred to the Marks Law Firm from another attorney after I felt our case needed more attention to detail. We got that, and more. Amy & Jonathan are great to work with, Debbi is always pleasant to speak with. I have already referred someone to them, and will continue to do so.
For the second time in four years I retained the services of The Marks Law Firm and was well served by Jonathan Marks. I returned to him after the first time I utilized his services in 2010 and received the same professional advice and assistance in the resolution of my case. Jonathan is terrific counsel and I appreciate his attention to the most minute details. I heartily recommend his services to anyone seeking a professional advocate in areas requiring an astute and perceptive lawyer. His professional assistant Debbie is also first-rate and a pleasure to work with. I also plan on using The Marks Law Firm for my estate planning later this year. Clearly, I am a dedicated client!
Not to give too much of our case away, but I was told by a lot of people that we would never win a Child Support case against my husband’s ex-wife and their son………WRONG! Jonathan Marks won the case for us. If you are looking for an attorney that knows what he is doing, then contact Jonathan Marks. I will always, always be grateful for what he has done.
I have hired Jonathan on more than one occasion. In each instance, he handled my cases skillfully and tactfully. At all times, Jonathan remained sensitive to the needs of my family and never lost sight of the best interests of my children. He was extremely approachable and available, which was of paramount importance to me as a client. My last case involved a temporary restraining order with a subsequent motion to modify child custody. In this particular matter, time was of the essence – and Jonathan was able to expedite the proceedings in such a way that I was able to achieve my goals without delay. Ultimately, Jonathan won sole legal custody and sole physical custody for me. I would highly recommend Jonathan to my friends and family, and have done so in the past. He is an outstanding attorney.
I used Jonathan to handle a divorce with ever changing variables that was not straightforward by any means. Jonathan’s acute knowledge of all divorce rules and regulations along with his responsiveness to my needs and requests proved essential to reaching an outcome for which I could move on happily. While I hope to never have to revisit this situation again, I would go back to him for any assistance needed in the future.
I have used Jonathan on seceral occasions. He is very professional, rational and made me feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend him for anyones legal needs.
I had an excellent experience working with Jonathan Marks and The Marks Law Firm. Jonathan was easy to work with and helped me keep my divorce expenses to a minimum. My outcome was outstanding. Jonathan is extremely bright and knows the law. Clearly, he is respected by other attorneys. I would recommend him most highly to anyone seeking a top-flight family law attorney.
After 3 years of marriage I found myself in a position where I needed to get a divorce. This woman I married had completely changed in every way imaginable. What a DUD! At my initial visit I met with Mr. Jonathan Marks. He is a very knowledgeable and well versed attorney.
