Testimonials

"I am a hard working small business owner. Accidentally I was caught breaking the law and faced federal charges. That was the worst time of my life. After talking to five best lawyers in Manhattan, I decided to have Mr. Marks to help me with the case, putting my life and my family’s future in Mr. Marks’s hand.

The decision was made with confidence not only because of Mr. Marks’ education and years of practice, but also his sincerity and wisdom. Jon does not put your document and discoveries in team helper’s desks. He meets my schedule, spends time with me to listen and talk, analyze my situation and explain the law. He makes realistic suggestions and tells you what to do and possible result to expect. His wisdom and experiences make him almost sees the situation transparent and we did almost all necessary that should be done together. The result is just the best it can be.
Thanks to Mr. Marks outstanding help, now, my family’s future is back; I can take a deep breath, and again focus on my business. I’d love to have Jon as my life time friend and guidance"

My situation was deteriorating from bad to worse daily. My friends found Attorney Jonathan Marks. After they explained my difficult situation to Mr. Marks, Mr. Marks explained the process and complications of my release and with confidence, told my friends it was possible to have me released on bail to start.

Attorney Jonathan Marks was immediately mandated to represent me. Attorney Jonathan Marks then came to the detention center in New York to meet with me. In only the very first meeting with Mr. Marks, he rapidly stepped up to the challenge, gathered information from me then later instructed my friends and family of all the detailed steps necessary to prepare for my bail hearing. All of Mr. Marks’s activities were completed within a 24 hour period. There were various complications to what was needed prior to my hearing, however, with the experience of Mr. Marks, all preparations orchestrated by him allowed him to collect all the necessary information, effectively and in an extremely timely manner. In 20/20 hind sight, without the guidance and expertise of his work, the outcome we had hoped for the bail hearing would not have been realised.

During the bail hearing, Attorney Jonathan Marks litigated and overwhelmingly defeated the arguments the U.S Attorney brought forth. Once arguments were presented and completed, the Judge had no choice other than to have me released on a bail bond. This was our first victory. Attorney Jonathan Marks presented all the facts in a manner of which his opponent had little if any chance to beat. Further, with his arguments, Attorney Jonathan Marks shot holes through the entire case against me.

In the months that followed Attorney Jonathan Marks worked diligently with me and put me on a path to gather evidence to build his case. With many discussions between himself and the U.S Attorney the case against me was weakening daily. His skilful planning and strategic positioning of the facts continued to weaken for the U.S attorney. The evidence Attorney Jonathan Marks instructed me to compile was so strong, that lead to a victory. The case against me was dismissed. There couldn’t of been a better outcome! When you’re in need of a compassionate expert defence attorney, skilled in the art of law, hire the best there is, Attorney Jonathan Marks.

Mr. Marks, you saved my life. I am eternally grateful to your legal expertise.

Now I am at home enjoying myself with my family. Even though I have few restrictions, the matter of being with my family renders me maximum satisfaction.

It is with deepest appreciation I expedite this correspondence to you. This is to express millions of thanks to you for your expert execution in defending me and your knowledge of the federal legal system. I am very thankful to you for the sentence of probation by Judge Denise Cote.

The strategies you utilized in defending me were unimaginable. Your defense was extraordinary. You were able to convince Judge Cote to sentence me to probation.

I thank you for giving me the opportunity in continuing my religious ministries and serving God's people. Thank you for keeping me with my family. The result would have been devastating without you.

May God continually direct your thought, word and deed. May God abundantly bless you and render you prosperity.

Thanks once more for defending me.

It's H.J.

“Facing federal charges was absolutely petrifying. I frantically dialed every lawyer in town. I knew immediately after speaking momentarily to Jonathan Marks that everything was going to be okay. His confidence and wisdom set the tone for the most trying period of my life and compelled me to act and think with courage. Even as it seemed that life was being taken away from me, having Jonathan on my side caused me to have no doubts about the trial. Sure enough, we were granted a most favorable decision by a tough Judge, just as Jonathan said we would from the beginning. Because of Jonathan, I have not only been given a renewed life but also have received guidance and tools to create a living beyond what I ever imagined was possible.”

M. T. was arrested in 2009 for the assault of an EMT technician and the attempted bribery of a police officer.  The next year, Jonathan Marks was able to persuade the prosecutor to  dismiss  all criminal charges.  The client wrote the following testimonial:

Being in a situation requiring the need of a criminal defense attorney is never easy.  Apart from the immediate stress of the situation, there is the prolonged anxiety around the uncertain outcome.  Jonathan was an excellent partner in managing my case, demonstrating empathy for my personal circumstances and true advocacy on my behalf for the near and long-term.   From the moment I contacted him, Jonathan demonstrated a sense of urgency and a bias for action.  The favorable outcome  of my case is directly attributable to the efforts of Jonathan Marks.

I was arrested by police officers as I crossed the street in front of my apartment building. The officers searched me without my permission and claimed that I had an illegal weapon in my possession. I spent several hours in a precinct holding cell and spent the night in a courthouse cell, in total almost a full day of incarceration. It was at this point that Mr. Marks entered the picture - securing my immediate release from the courthouse.

In the two court appearances that followed, Mr. Marks was steadfast in demanding the dismissal of the charges against me despite the initial recalcitrance of the prosecution.

When brought before a judge my case was immediately dismissed.
