Honesty is a Virtue at Michael Marquez Law Offices in San Mateo County
Michael Marquez prides himself on being straightforward with clients. Unlike others, he gives realistic, unexaggerated expectations of the possible results of each case. Michael Marquez explains, "I don't oversell the likely results and I'm honest about the likelihood of winning. I'm upfront with them about everything."
He's also able to see alternative ways to reach the best outcome for a client and then explains it to them. Michael says, "I tell them this is what we need to do to get a certain outcome. So if someone doesn't want to pay as much child support, then I will show them how being more involved with the child can lower the expected support payments."
Clients of Michael Marquez who we called for this article backed this up, like one named Ezekiel who told us, "He helped me a lot with paperwork and all the legalities. He was very knowledgeable and very helpful."
Michael Marquez Law Offices in Burlingame CA: Real Value
Other firms quote deceptively low retainers in an effort to get the client, with the plan to add many costs later. Michael Marquez has heard of this too. "Cheaper attorneys aren't cheaper in the long run," he shares. "Often attorneys that quote too low just to get the client just walk away when that retainer runs out. I give clients honest and accurate quotes on retainers right at the outset. And we never incur costs without your permission first."
And attorney Michael Marquez considers the financial situation of each client to come up with the best legal strategy so that each client gets the most effective results in a way they can actually afford. He explains, "I make the time getting to know your life situation. And I will also work something out with you if I know the case is going to last longer." One client named Scott described Michael Marquez as "...not the typical law office", citing "...great consideration for clients...and a vested interest in them as people."
Michael Marques Law Offices: Experience Counts
Attorney Michael Marquez lives in Burlingame CA which he's called home for 30 years along with his wife and two children. He started his career in the San Francisco District Attorney's office, before moving into private practice in 1996. His long experience is a key to his successful results for his clients. He says, "I've been doing this a long time and I know the ins and outs of the courts and judges in this area so well that I can tell how the judge is going to rule when they come in. That familiarity means better results for the client and it's what you want in an attorney."
Even after a lengthy career, Michael Marquez stays educated on the latest developments in the legal system. "This type of law changes throughout time," he says. "I do a lot of continuing education to stay on top of the changes. I continue to invest time in different courses and lectures; one of them is a class of all of the changes that have happened in the previous year."
Honesty, experience and personalized legal representation are qualities that set the Michael Marquez Law Offices apart. As one client named Scott who we called for this article put it, "He worked a complex, extensive case for me. If he'll have me, I'd prefer to have him as my attorney for life. As far as I'm concerned, he walks on water."

Michael Marquez Law Offices Capability Reviews

Hi Mike,
I just wanted to thank you for your strong performance on Wednesday at the Pre-Settlement Conference. I really appreciate the fact that you met with me prior to the conference so we could discuss matters ahead of time. Although I expressed my concerns and worries, I was very impressed with your knowledge and pro activeness that day. You were extremely thorough and brought up many important little issues that could have easily been overlooked. (IE. bonus pay)
I wanted to take the time to let you know that I felt you covered and debated the issues very well.......and also brought up a good point about the purpose we went to court on July 9th in the first place. So please let me know if you are going to be filing a motion and also the transcripts were to be requested within 10 days to determine what the judge says about the old court order being "inactive" or not and whether support is retroactive or not.
Thanks again.......I look forward to working together so our next Pre-Settlement Conference is equally as productive.

You guys are not the typical law office you take great consideration for your clients' personal affects and also you guys take a vested interested in them as people.
You are so encouraging and I appreciate it all. There were times where I was questioning this whole ordeal and you would forward uplifting emails and that made my day.
Tomorrow morning my children and I are looking at it as a new beginning. And we all thank you for all the hard work and all the encouragement.
You are deserving of it.
—Jeffrey
