I had been told by another firm that I had no chance to get a good (fair) settlement. Jacob at RoopLaw took my case, worked with the "opposing" team (including a vindictive ex) and without even having to go to court got a really fair agreement. My ex said if he knew about Jacob he would have hired him first!
My ex and I never agree on things, especially when it comes to the kids. We had a pretty ugly child visitation battle going on when Mr. Markin picked up my case. He understood what was important - the kids - even when I lost sight of that, and helped us settle on a great plan. It's been several months and my ex even agrees that things are working out due to Mr. Markin! Our g.a.l. (court appointed advocate) has also commented on how great he was. I did not get everything I first asked for, but got what I needed and the solution is much better for the kids (he was so honest with me!). Mr. Markin is probably the smartest person I have ever met, but is so humble and caring that you almost forget that. If all lawyers were like him, the profession would not have the reputation it does have. Bless you sir!
Working with Mr. Markin was amazing. He handled all of our issues as they arose, and worked toward a great and fair outcome. The empathy he shows is so critical when emotions arise, and the professionalism was great. Compared to the other sides attorneys, Mr. Markin stood head and shoulders above. While I hope never to have similar issues again, I would recommend him in a heartbeat
Quick to respond. Very professional in all his communications. He was able to differentiate emotional from practical matters. Presence well beyond his years in practice.
Facing bleak prospects following a DWI arrest I put my trust in Scott Surovell. Long story short, prosecution was forced to drop charges after Scott raised inconsistencies casting doubt on the eventual outcome of my case. At expungement hearing prosecution opposed my petition but Scott dismantled opposing argument in short order leaving prosecution without an effective rebuttal. Judge ruled in our favor. It was an effective display of tough, effective advocacy by an attorney for his client.
There was never a time Jason Zellman did not respond in a more than reasonable time. Even when he was either ill or on vacation, he responded and gave us the assistance we needed.{para}Jason was thorough, explained all aspects of our issues clearly so that we felt fully informed. We have recommended Jason Zellman to friends and neighbors, and we would do so again without hesitation.{para}Thank you for this opportunity to again show our regard for Jason
Scott Surovell saved my life! I was charged with a DUI and facing 5 days in jail,misdemeanor,suspended/restricted license for a year, ASAP, huge insurance costs,etc. I really panicked! I thought my personal and professional lives were over. Scott was very knowledgeable about case law, and the circumstances in my case. He never waivered in his support for me. After 5 continuances we finally went to trial against an aggressive DA. Scott rocked in trial and charges were dismissed.Forever grateful!
I will always be extremely grateful for Mr. Surovell's representation of me/us. We found him to be incredibly competent, communicative, effective, efficient, gracious, considerate and then some. He globally exceeded any and all expectations. Considering the circumstances, our results are nothing short of miraculous. We are very blessed and cannot thank Mr. Surovell enough.
Mr. Surovell is accessible, articulate and extremely effective in the courtroom. He offered excellent advice and fought hard for me and won my case. I'm grateful for his counsel.
Mr. Surovell isn't just any attorney; he's an individual person who actually cares about making a difference in the lives of everyday people and in-turn, the world. He's direct, honest, and respectable. Bottomline, my life would not be the same without Mr. Surovell advocating for me in a way that I could not do for myself. I had faith in him and every other prospective client out there should too. It will be your biggest mistake yet if you need an attorney and don't choose Scott Surovell.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
