If you like hiring an attorney who files to have your house sold a year after it was sold, and a junior attorney who perhaps ruins your entire life because they are upset about their own lack of accountability, then go with Jonathon. Ask why you cannot leave a voicemail. Ask why there is no mechanism to make you aware of filings. I very strongly suggest due diligence. I think there are decent people here who may have indecent personal matters going on, but those were never disclosed to me and forced me into a financially untenable legal position. Withdrawing a day before he told me--and before the trial was complete--is client betrayal and unacceptable.

# A Devastating Failure of Advocacy During the Most Critical Time of My Life…read more I am writing this review under my own name because people deserve to understand my experience. My litigation has now been ongoing for over two years, and since my representation by Jonathan Marks, I have consulted with multiple highly respected attorneys in Missouri regarding the events that occurred during my case really before it even started. The consistent concern I have heard is not simply about the outcome, but about the process, the lack of preparation, the lack of communication, and decisions that I believe were made without my informed consent. I hired an attorney to protect me during one of the most financially and personally catastrophic periods of my life. My companies were under attack, my financial world was unraveling, and I was navigating an extremely complex divorce and business matter involving significant assets and consequences. Despite the seriousness and complexity of the situation, critical decisions were made before a full financial record had even been developed before the court and before substantive divorce proceedings had truly begun. A temporary arrangement was entered that, in my view, mirrored major settlement terms and impacted significant rights and claims without the level of analysis, preparation, and consultation I expected from my counsel and in a hearing that it belonged. What remains most disturbing to me is how those decisions were reached. Negotiations and conversations occurred outside my presence and without my express authorization. My civil attorney, who was present and actively involved in related matters, was not brought into those discussions once. When I expressed that I wanted to address my concerns directly before the judge rather than simply accept what was being presented because. everything changed, I did not feel my position was advocated for. in fact I was yelled at while my entire life was on fire. Instead of receiving guidance and protection during a moment of extreme fear and distress, I felt pressured, unheard, and overwhelmed and expressed so. I was facing the potential loss of millions of dollars and years of work that I had built, and I needed an attorney who would fully explain my options, and aggressively protect my interests. No attorney can guarantee a perfect result. That is not my criticism. My criticism is that a client should never leave a critical proceeding feeling they did not understand the consequences of what they were agreeing to or that their own concerns were dismissed. He was fired shortly after I should have ran not walked away from this horrific attorney. The consequences of those decisions have been enormous. I continue to document what I believe exceeds seven figures in financial and business-related damages connected to this period of litigation. The professional, financial, and personal impact has been profound, and years later I am still uncovering and working to repair the damage and my case is not done due to this very event. Based on my experience, I would never retain Jonathan Marks again. If you are considering hiring him, I strongly encourage you to ask difficult questions, demand complete transparency, ensure all significant decisions are thoroughly explained, and make sure your own voice remains central in every major decision affecting your future. He only care about billing you and threatening you if you question his attitude.

They also will spend as much time on the phone with me answering all my questions, and since it's covered in my membership, I don't have to be worried about how much it will cost me. Any time I have a question or concern, I call the number on my LegalShield card and I'm on the phone that day with an attorney who specializes in my area of concern - Tenant/Landlord, Traffic, Tax Law, Employment Law, Consumer Law, etc.

From the…read morefirst phone call to the final settlement, Tom was compassionate, easy to communicate with, and completely committed to representing our daughters' best interests. Tom's skill in guiding us through the legal process and setting expectations for probably outcomes was spot on. He took on an at fault accident case, advocated fiercely and we won. Our daughter endured a tremendous recovery and thanks to Tom's advocacy, she received a settlement that truly reflects when she went through and deserves. What truly set Tom apart was the compassion he showed during an incredible difficult time- when my husband unexpectedly passed away during the case. Tom and his team reached out with heartfelt condolences and even sent flowers to the funeral home. That personal care meant so much to our family. Tom puts his heart into every case because he genuinely believes in advocacy and justice. We are beyond grateful and highly recommend Tom Wilmowski to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.
