I sought out Marc for assistance with my elderly parents over 1.5 years ago. He met both me and my parents and was very personable, knowledgeable and thoughtful. My father is a navy veteran and so is Marc. They really hit it off talking about their service to our country and I really appreciated that he took the time to talk with my dad about their time in the navy and not just our legal needs. Marc listened carefully, asked good questions along the way and accomplished for us what we were looking to accomplish. His original and ongoing work has been key for my brother and me to help our parents. I have tapped him twice for legal advice on amendments for the revocable trust he set up for our parents and he expertly took care of our legal needs for us. I highly recommend Marc to anyone in need of legal advice and assistance. His fees for his services are very reasonable as well. Aside from highly recommending him on this site, I would also suggest you look on the professional review site "Birdeye" for a larger and more comprehensive/representative set of reviews than Yelp has to offer. https://reviews.birdeye.com/marc-j-soss-esquire-374537088 read more

We spoke with Marc J. Soss. He was extremely informative and helpful. Mr. Soss provided valuable information and addressed our inquiry to our great satisfaction. We would not hesitate to select him as a provider for our legal needs. read more

I don't know where these good reviews come from but they are inaccurate. He does not acknowledge appointments or return calls or do anything that an attorney that you are paying to represent you should be doing. I have talked to about 5 attorneys on a recent trust issue and he is by far the worst if even responds. I would never hire this man if he is even an attorney to do anything on my behalf. Caution lights sounding read more

Called to ask about his services, extremely rude and dismissive, and he hung up on me without saying anything after I thanked him for his time. On top of that he asks ridiculous fees. Seems miserable, avoid him if you can. read more

Marc's comments are false. I never received any notice from him about a re-schedule. Likewise no information from his staff while waiting in the lobby. In fact, they thought he was in the office and put us in a conference room for a while. Likewise was not rude in any way to his staff - they gave us water and we exchanged a few pleasantries. I understand that sometimes mistakes happen but would have hoped he would have fessed up to them instead of what he wrote. read more

Marc Soss helped my wife and I with a Last Will & Testament; Durable Power of Attorney (POA); Health Care Surrogate (HCS); Living Will (LW); and Pre-Need Guardian Declaration (PNG). His work was quick, efficient and his fee was very reasonable. read more

Sorry Marc but I have been trying to finish our transaction or at least get a response from you for a few months now.... In 2017 my husband and I met with Marc to apply for guardianship for my disabled daughter (she was 17 then), obtain a DPOA, a Revocable Trust, a HCS, a LW, a PNG, and write a will. Marc required a 50% deposit upfront ($1500) which we paid, and the balance at completion. Our initial meeting went well as did a few follow-up phone calls and emails afterwards. Then suddenly all communication stopped on his end. I sent multiple emails asking the status of the guardianship as we hand delivered to him all of our paperwork including psychiatric evaluations and medical recommendations, my daughter was now an adult and beginning to have very adult problems but with a disabled mental capacity. Eventually, he called back and apologized profusely stating he would finish our paperwork at no additional cost which I accepted and thanked him for. And then, once again, complete silence from Marc. I have heard nothing, nothing, NOTHING else from him since. My last email to him on 1/25/19 got an automated response back stating "I will be out of the office and will not have access to my e-mails. Please be patient and I will get back to you shortly. Marc J. Soss, Esquire". So, since my initial contact with Marc on 8/15/2017, and my giving him $1500 on 8/20/17 all I have received from him is draft versions of our documents, no final documents, no filing updates, and nothing has been filed for guardianship. Almost two years later now and I give up. I will take the loss and take my business elsewhere. Sorry Marc you really seemed like a good guy and a good attorney, I don't know what happened but you blew it on this one. read more

We need Mark to help us with putting our property into the Living Trust. Mark was very efficient and direct about the fee. We did not waste too much time to get it done. We like his business style. read more

My experience with Marc Soss was very similar to that of Nicole W. (see below). In our first meeting in August 2019 he was very convincing and we paid $1500 up front of a quoted $3,000 fee, with no receipt and no contract, only based on our trust. We had read these yelp reviews and considered the comments of Nicole to probably be unusual. After our first meeting and after waiting we finally received template draft documents for us to fill in very important information regarding our wishes in our Living Will and medical Health Care Surrogate instructions for end-of-life decisions. To my recollection none of the information we discussed in our first meeting was included in these template blank "fill-in" documents except our names and those of our friends/family we named to take part in final decisions. My wife and I had questions about how to complete these documents, but we could not get in touch with Marc again. After months of calls and emails, we finally met with him a second time. That was a very tense meeting in which it was very hard get answers to our questions, and he stated he had already spent $2,500 worth of his time with us. We went home to try to complete the documents. After that, once again, Marc remained out of touch. I finally threatened to file a performance complaint with the Florida Bar. That got his attention. We met soon thereafter and I offered to let it be, because I just needed those documents. We discussed the documents again and he asked me to send him an updated version of items we wanted in our Living Will. That is the last I ever heard from him. We decided to accept our loss and move on. I have written this review to the best of my memory of events over many months, many months ago. read more

Marc was very kind and explained legal circumstances for my spouse and I. He was very knowledgeable and considerate of our unique circumstances. Will definitely consider him in the future. read more

My husband and I just moved to Lakewood Ranch a short while ago and was in need of an attorney to update our legal documents for the state of Florida. We found Marc to be very knowledgeable and helpful in transitioning from PA to FL. I would confidently recommend him. read more

Mark was especially helpful in preparing all out documents, and I and my wife want to say thank you for the most professional way you handles our requests. Things our very clear as to what happens after out passing. I want to say it was really nice meeting you on the golf course and we really had a good time. We also want to say thank you for your service to our country. You are a top notch attorney and a down to earth person. Thank you again for all you have done for us. read more

Sincerely and truly helpful. Couldn't have asked for anything but; and he still went over the top and outta his way. Thank you again for your help! read more

After my stepmother passed away, we needed to get my dad's affairs in order without having to take out a small business loan to do so. I found Marc and I can not say enough good things about him! He was beyond wonderful dealing with my dad and all the questions he had. He also made 100% sure my father understood EXACTLY what he was signing and what it all meant. He was kind, considerate, patient, professional and made my dad feel at ease. It was such a relief to us. I would NEVER hesitate in recommending him to anyone! Thank you Marc!!!!! read more

Like us you may be "new" permanent residents of FL and have decided you had better get certain things in order like your will, trust, durable power of attorney, and health directives. We were fortunate in that our son's college roommate, who is now an attorney on that other FL coast, recommend Marc to us. We were completely pleased with Marc's professionalism and his willingness to listen and prepare the documents we needed. You may not be aware, if you are new to FL as we were, that there are some real issues with the state appointing guardians with the power to manage your assets if you don't have the legal documents you need in place. We decided we wanted to be sure that our future was secure and that we would be proactive in protecting ourselves and our heirs. We are sure that you would be wise to take advantage of Marc's expertise. He is very cordial, has a good sense of humor, and wants to be sure that you understand the documents and are prepared for the future. read more

Mr. Soss charged $1,080 for his services. I felt his services billed were an excessive amount for the minimal (to lack of) action taken to protect my interests as a client. He failed to file any paperwork in the courts to protect my interest in the estate in question, initially informed me our initial consult was free yet charged $300.00; and he was in fact more than 1-1/2 hours late to our initial appointment on October 7. We spoke one time after that and he spoke once to my brother since I was so frustrated at being unable to get a return call from him in spite of several calls that he did NOT return. His last action on my behalf was October 25, which was simply a forwarded email from opposing counsel; and was actually the vast majority, if not almost all of our communication; of which I have and would be happy to provide as proof to his lack of communication skills, even with the clients he is representing and billing. I still am not sure what he did for his fee of $1,080 and in fact neither are two other attorneys I inquired to regarding the matter!!!! His last action, which was a minimal forwarding of emails from opposing counsel, was on 10/25. So, 18 days, no return phone calls, one call from him to say I didn't have much of a case, and about 5 forwarded emails in all for that fee. He then had the audacity to ask if I had a problem with his bill yet attempted to justify all of it. Buyer BEWARE!!!!!!! read more
