Jonathan is great at what he does and thoroughly explained to me what to expect during my court case. He works hard for his clients and is very knowledgeable!

Prior to filing for divorce, I consulted four to five law firms. All but one, inattentively and carelessly assured me of things that I would get in a future divorce settlement. Thankfully, there was one lawyer who said everything to the contrary of the other firms. I knew then, that I found someone who would be brutally honest and direct. That attorney was Jonathan Marks.

Jonathan worked very hard and diligently on my case. We experienced some things that were made for TV, but though it all, Jonathan always looked out for my best interest, protected me from myself at times and he always got back to me in a timely manner. Although it unexpectedly and unnecessarily took over a year to complete (no fault of ours), my divorce is now finalized and I got everything I wanted and some. Jonathan did a masterful job and Jacqui and Amy were great too. I am very thankful I retained their firm. Save yourself the time and headache; look no further!

Five stars is not enough. Mr. Jonathan Marks expertly represented me in my divorce from a very successful and aggressive attorney. Mr. Marks is meticulous and extremely knowledgeable. His communication is prompt and clear. His billing is transparent, precise, and extremely fair. Jonathan was always honest, objective, and candid with me regarding the settlement process. Further, Jonathan did not end his counsel upon the court-stamped divorce decree. He advised me to seek a financial planning team and drafted a will and trust making sure I was establishing a solid foundation for moving forward. I cannot express enough praise or gratitude for the representation Jonathan Marks provided. He is an exceptional lawyer and an equally exceptional person: you would be doing yourself a disservice if you hired anyone else. Thank you Mr. Marks.

my wife and I liked Johnathan web site and since we had no recommendations after we watched every lawyer firm websites we liked the Mark's law firm the best and went with Jonathan he knows the law and how to debate it, the whole Mark's team was very professional and friendly we won our court case and received a fair deal, highly recommend this team

Jonathan has helped me repeatedly understand the complicated laws and, from my perspective, often subjective rulings of family law. He understood that I did not have an unlimited budget and would let me know when additional negotiation on a topic would cost more than accepting the terms. Several times I had stated my terms or expectations and he would tell me that we can submit those terms, but the resolution will be "X". Then I'd say "well, aren't we supposed to negotiate at the opposite end so we meet in the middle" and he'd state, I'm paraphrasing, that's a waste of time. He brought a no nonsense perspective to every discussion, never over-promised, and was always respectful and understanding of my perspective. He thoroughly understands family law and is excellent at understanding and predicting the courts ruling, which helped to prepare me when my expectations were high and calm me when opposing negotiations were outlandish. I hope to not need Jonathan's services, but I'm always glad he's there when I am in need.

I came to Amy nervous about the divorce process and a little scared. On our first visit, she made me feel so at ease and I even left with a smile. Every step of the way, I was told what was going to happen and what to expect. All of the questions I had were answered so quickly! And when it finally came time for the court date, Amy not only provided legal counsel but also emotional support. An experience that could have been a nightmare, ended up in tears of joy. Amy was so amazing, I don't think I could have worked with anyone else in this process. I HIGHLY recommend her and the Marks Law Firm.

I am an attorney and also hold elected office in St. Louis County. In 2017-18 the Prosecuting Attorney for St. Louis County assigned a special prosecutor to bring a case to remove me from office for allegedly violating the County Charter. I received many recommendations and referrals as to who I should hire to represent me, but I decided to ask the smartest lawyer I knew, Jonathan Marks, if he would undertake my defense. While politically driven litigation may not be Jonathan's concentration, I know him as a tenacious litigator who, if he took up my defense, would leave no stone unturned. Sure enough, and as anticipated, Jonathan was successful in convincing the Court to rule in my favor. I remain in office today vigorously representing my constituents.
Jonathan Marks of The Marks Law Firm is one of the premier attorneys in the St. Louis region amply capable of handling your legal matters. Jonathan is exceptionally smart, highly qualified, and unafraid to tackle difficult litigation. Jonathan is compassionate, client centric, and more than fair as it relates to his compensation. In the Marks Law firm Jonathan is surrounded by an excellent, highly qualified support staff to assist him in obtaining the results you desire. I recommend in the strongest sense and with full endorsement that you retain Jonathan Marks today for your legal needs.

My husband & I contacted Jonathan after I did extensive research for a family lawyer. Our initial meeting with him left us feeling confident that we had found the perfect person to represent us. Jonathan is clearly knowledgeable, professional, and did his absolute best to accomplish as much as possible without running up the cost. He kept us in the loop on what was happening with our case(s) at all time, either via email, telephone call, or face-to-face meetings. Anytime I emailed him with a question, he was extremely prompt with his reply. His professional manner in the courtroom was appreciated by both my husband & I - again, he was prompt, presented himself confidently, and we never once questioned if we were going to succeed with our endeavors.

Jonathan and his staff come highly recommended by us. We are quite happy with the outcome, and how we were represented.

After a failed collaborative approach, Jonathan took over my complex International divorce. I am non-confrontational by nature but Jonathan was willing to step in and speak for me in meetings with my ex. He was able to help me reach an excellent settlement while keeping the case from going to court. I would highly recommend his services if you are looking for a no nonsense yet compassionate lawyer to guide you through a trying process.

I was tremendously happy with the work provided by The Marks Law Firm. My attorney is Amy Bender-Levy. She was more prepared then I could have ever expected and picked up on the nuances to my particular case immediately. She won three cases for me including one involving a GAL. I would highly recommend the Marks Law Firm and in particular Amy Bender-Levy. Professional and prepared!!

The quality service I received from Amy Bender-Levy at The Marks Law Firm was remarkable. From the initial meeting till the end of my divorce, she was responsive to my calls, questions and concerns. All issues were handled professionally and timely. I highly recommend Mrs. Bender-Levy.

Amy Bender-Levy was nothing short of amazing. She did a fantastic job of explaining things in a way that made it easy to understand all in a timely manner. I was very impressed by the attention to detail and her caring nature. She was available any time I needed her and her expertise was priceless in guiding me through a difficult life process. She knows her stuff and it show in how she handled my case.

Jonathan is very knowledgeable and meticulous in his work. He answered my questions and explained the process. I have worked with Jonathan on 2 court cases and I highly recommend him.

I know who was right by my side for this victory ...Jonathan Marks. Let him be by your side!

Jonathon was(is) a fantastic atternoy! He fully understood my concerns and worries with my custody case. My ex and I were together 12 years but we’re not married. Since we were not married custody of our children was handled a little differently than those cases with parents being married.
My ex was not a willing participant in filling out paperwork that took over one year and four court dates (somewhere rescheduled in summer continued) due to the fact he was not prepared. Jonathon fully understood my frustration and stress level. He worked with me every step of the way to ensure what I was asking for was priority. He is very fast at responding and great with communication!
In the end she got me exactly what I was wanting an asking for which honestly is in the best interest of our daughters ! He is well with the cost per hour. He was very straight forward and honest. - even if I wasnt excited about the answer. I really appreciate his honesty. I highly recommend him as I was very anxious and nervous throughout my whole case and he was very reassuring and very knowledgeable. When we walked into the court building every time we walked in he was always being greeted and acknowledged by the staff members, I could tell he was highly respected.

Highly recommend Jonathan Marks!

I had an excellent experience working with Jonathan Marks and The Marks Law Firm. Jonathan was easy to work with and helped me keep my divorce expenses to a minimum. My outcome was outstanding. Jonathan is extremely bright and knows the law. Clearly, he is respected by other attorneys. I would recommend him most highly to anyone seeking a top-flight family law attorney.

I can't say enough about Mr. Marks as an attorney and person.

I really owe my life and freedom to Mr. Marks.

I was in an awful situation which was complicated by untruthful legal matters from my ex right before the Christmas weekend.

I reached out to Mr. Marks for the first time on Christmas weekend and he dropped everything to help me out of an impossible UCCJEA situation.

Mr. Marks prepared and filed all the paperwork first thing Monday and because of Mr. Marks, the untruthful matters were squashed as a direct result of his amazing skills as a lawyer and kindness as a person.

In contrast, I was told by another attorney there was nothing I could do, Mr. Marks proved otherwise.

Mr. Marks will go above and beyond for you as a client, make you feel as if you’re his only client and you’ll trust him implicitly.

Thank you to Mr. Marks and Debbi for all of your amazing work.

I had a really complex divorce and child custody case where I thought it would be no chance of me winning, but Amy Bender-Levy of Marks Law Firm was just absolutely wonderful and very knowledgeable in Missouri family law. It was a very emotional experience for me but Amy played the whole roll of lawyer, counselor, and I can even call her a friend now. I would Strongly STRongly STRONGLY recommend Amy from Marks Law Firm for your family court needs.

I can’t say enough about how amazing it was to work with Amy Bender-Levy and the Marks Law Firm. I was impressed with how attentive yet professional everything was handled. Amy was highly recommended by another firm and as soon as I spoke with her on the phone I felt she had my best interests in mind. From the first interaction through filing and judgment her firm was impeccable with their word and gave excellent counsel. If you are looking for a well respected, well liked and all around personable lawyer, I can’t say enough about Amy Bender-Levy and the Marks Law Firm.

Great Lawyer very professional guy

Amy Bender-Levy represented my custody case. She was honest from the start about what we could expect and followed through with everything we discussed. She represented me better than I expected due to my prior experience with lawyers in this case. She did not put a stereotype on me just because I'm the father (which has happened more than you would believe). She listened to me about what I wanted and remained steady when I was frustrated with the process. In the end, everything I wanted accomplished was done and my kids are 1000 times happier. My wife and I were treated with respect and compassion the entire time. Emails and phone calls were answered quickly every single time. Amy will be on speed dial should we need anything else! I'd recommend her over and over to any good parent that is struggling like I was, actually already have. She helped turn a very stressful situation around and I couldn't put in words how thankful we are. You will not be disappointed if you choose to work with this firm!

I had total confidence in Jonathan and Amy. They made a difficult situation much less stressful. I highly recommend The Marks Law Firm.

This man knows his STUFF! If you need an attorney, this is who you go see. Trust me you won't be disappointed. He has an entire office filled with awards, displaying how excellent he is in the Law field. Call today!

Jonathan Marks is one of the most competent attorneys I have ever known. In addition, he explains complex legal matters in a way that is not only easy to understand, but also he makes it easy to discuss.

Jonathan has been my attorney for nearly 10 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else to do the job as long as Jonathan is available. I am his client for life, because he's earned my loyalty, my business and most importantly, MY RESPECT.

Thanks Jonathan your attention to detail is superb.

When I finally found Marks law firm, Jonathan asked me what I was looking for in a lawyer. My reply, a lawyer I can trust. After being swindled by Cordell & Cordell to the sum of $16,000.00, (they maxed out my credit card dropped me because I no longer the funds). And after having to represent myself, I lost in court. I suffered for many years after my divorce paying an amount to my Ex-wife which was beyond reasonable. After 35 years of government service with the DOD and supporting this country I love so well, I wanted to retire but couldn't because of the extreme amount of maintenance I was forced to pay by the courts ($2,300.00 a month). Then by the grace of God, I found the Marks law firm. Jonathan proved to be a man of his word and helped me through the entire process "we I won".Time after time I was amazed and impressed with Jonathan,s knowledge, wise advice and tactics to ultimately win my case. If you want a team you can trust through thick and thin plus looking for a fair settlement in the end, I would encourage you to look first the Marks law firm.
Happily retired,
Don Bratcher

Divorce is never easy. There is a lot I did not know. I was fortunate to find Jonathan Marks after looking at some quick searches on the internet. None of the internet searches left me with any confidence.

With the Marks Firm, once I told my story I got the relevant information and all my questions were answered. I selected them because they actually listened to my situation (compassion matters). At no time did I feel like I was left in the dark and The Firm and Staff were very responsive to my questions. My work life was not interrupted as a result of the process.

It took 6 months to go through the entire process (ending a 14 yr marriage). My case was less complicated than most, with nothing to divide and no kids. I am very lucky. Having a trusted outside party really does help to speed the process and let the healing begin.

Hopefully this review helps you in finding the right representation. I highly recommend this firm.

Jonathan and Amy have impressed me immensely. They are very knowledgeable in family law and take great care to build a professional and trustworthy rapport with their clients. They also maintain great communication; making you confident and secure every step of the way. Their genuine care towards clients makes you second guess every "cliched Stereotype" that you may have had towards lawyers in the past. A well deserved 5 stars and I'm sure many more to follow. Keep up the good work!

Jonathan is incredible. He always takes the time to explain everything in detail, addresses any & all questions or concerns you may have, and works hard to give you the best results! I will recommend him 100% of the time!!

I am very grateful to Jonathan and everyone at the Marks Law Firm for the help they provided during my recent divorce. Jonathan provided skill, clarity, insight, perspective and the highest degree of professionalism throughout the process and most importantly he delivered results. His reputation as one of the best attorneys in the area is well deserved and I do not hesitate to recommend him should you find yourself in need of legal representation.

Mr. Jonathan Marks was amazing!!!. He was very professional, detailed, thorough, attentive and personable. He helped ease my fears during a stressful and trying time. He fought diligently for me and my daughter so that we could have the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him as he is the BEST custody lawyer ever!!

I respect Jonathan’s intelligence and resolve. He is respected by his peers and has been honest in charging time and providing client focused advice.

Jonathan has been a trusted advisor for several years. His professionalism and measured approach to what are inherently stressful situations is truly appreciated. His willingness to be available outside of normal business hours only adds to his value.

Jonathan Marks is the best custody lawyer in St. Louis, hands down. My husband and I were looking for a lawyer to handle his custody modification case and we spoke with several lawyers. We knew from the beginning that Jonathan would be the best lawyer for the case and he more than came through! Despite months of delays and an unwillingness to compromise on the part of the other party, Jonathan was able to get my husband 50/50 legal and physical custody--everything he wanted! Jonathan was straightforward and honest from the start and was able to manage my husband's expectations and anxiety throughout a very tough time. Jonathan was able to get my husband the time with his children that he wanted and deserved, and we will forever be grateful for that. Choosing a lawyer to represent you when your children are involved can be scary, anxiety-inducing, heart-wrenching...but if you choose Jonathan, rest assured you and your children are in GREAT HANDS.

Three years ago my boyfriend (now husband) and I met with Jonathan regarding my husbands ex-wife relocating to another state with their child. My husband is a non confrontational person and his previous lawyer negotiated one of the worst custodial agreements known to man.
Jonathan was honest, upfront and straight forward with what my husband could expect.
What he negotiated was amazing. While it wasn't everything I thought it should be to counterbalance the injustice done the first time, he isn't God nor does he write the laws. However, I may nominate him for sainthood because he is still having to deal with the situation.
He drew up a masterpiece of a parenting plan that would remove so much drama. It worked so well that the ex-wife's attorney who negotiated the original unjust divorce and custody agreement, ended their client/attorney relationship.
Jonathan has been wonderful and kind in responding to the constant emails regarding the drama of visitations and when needing to file the different motions.
If you want someone that has your back in the legal process, he is the one.

Jonathan was professional and timely, as well as very easy to work with.
He was able to explain things to me very clearly and easily and made the process as smooth and painless as possible.

Jonathan's firm and I have worked together on several business valuation assignments. He is a true professional who put his client's interests first. Jonathan is also very knowledgeable of the tax law as it relates to marital dissolutions.

I had initially hired Jonathan Marks for a case of legal separation that eventually turned into a divorce. Jonathan successfully represented me both times. He has helped me navigate the complexities of the divorce process, child custody, and post-divorce rehabilitation. He is sincere and straightforward about what one can expect from a case. Client satisfaction is the number 1 priority at his firm, and this was reflected time and again by his prompt attention and responsiveness to the case-related matters. While the divorce was very emotionally driven for me, he kept my focus on the goals and the best interest of the kids. Throughout the process, he remained cognizant of the needs of my children, comprehended and respected my values. He is very meticulous in his work and extremely knowledgeable. I could not have asked for a better attorney and a law firm to be by my side during this process. I would highly recommend Jonathan and The Marks Law Firm to anyone seeking legal help in family law matters.

The Marks Law Firm… Have been representing me for over eight years now. I cannot say or express more gratitude. Their team work and dynamic of understanding of your needs and of The Family… Have kept me, more than once, from loosing my Military Bearing. They have my utmost trust and confidence.
To them all, THANK YOU.

Jonathan has been wonderful, his advice is logical and sound! I highly recommend!

I always appreciate Jonathan's insight and advice!

Jonathan Marks was an excellent choice as my lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional. Jonathan worked with me every step of the way to make sure I understood all aspects of my case and worked hard on my behalf. Jonathan set realistic expectations, was a reassuring voice of reason and helped me achieve the outcome I desired. I would highly recommend Jonathan and the Marks Law Firm!

When searching for a divorce attorney I was referred to Jonathan by a friend. My plan was to interview three attorneys before choosing one, but once I met and talked with him I knew I did not need to look any further. He was very understanding, once we had discussed in detail the way my case would be presented he began the process and kept me informed step by step. Jonathan understands the laws completely and can be trusted, which is so important ! I feel comfortable sending family and friends to Jonathan for help, I know he will do the best job for them as he did for me. Thank You!

Jonathan helped our family complete our step parent adoption quickly and efficiently! He explained everything in specific detail and walked us through every step of the process! So thankful to have him standing beside us and helping complete our family. Jonathan even took a family photo for us commemorate the historical moment! If you ever need legal assistance Jonathan Marks Law Firm is the way to go! Jonathan was very compassionate and dedicated to our family and was always available no matter what. Debbi at the front is one of the best who works with Jonathan as well. She always helped keep us informed, polite, patient and quick with responses. This is the firm to be at no matter your needs! Thanks Jonathan and Debbi!

Jonathan and Debbi provide responsiveness, deep expertise, and balance to help navigate the legal waters during a very difficult situation. Even more impressive to me though, is the fact that over the years, as the unanticipated questions of life continue, the responsiveness and expertise from the team continue as well.

My experience with the Marks Law Firm and specifically, Jonathan Marks, was exceptional. Jonathan has handles several legal matters for me over the past several years and I have been extremely satisfied with all the outcomes. Debbi in the office has also been a pleasure to deal with. The communication from the law office was always timely and I have referred several individuals and businesses to his firm and will continue to do so in the future.

I used Jonathan Marks for both my initial divorce proceedings and a recent motion to modify. He and Debbi are prompt in returning phone calls and emails. Jonathan understood (and was able to deal with) my roller coaster emotions during the entire process and he always made me feel comfortable during phone calls and meetings.. He was able to communicate the facts of my cases and i always knew the realistic expectations for outcomes. I especially liked that he fought for me to get what I deserved and what the law said I could get based on the evidence. Although he was certainly willing to go to trial if I did not get what I requested, he worked to get these results via a settlement. Although divorce stinks and there really are no 'winners', in the end, I was extremely happy with the outcomes.

Jonathan is an excellent lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and dependable. I don't think I could have asked for better representation and I am very happy with the outcome of my case.

Jonathan was a great choice for a lawyer. He was very professional and calming. He has expert knowledge and was able to help me achieve the best possible outcome for my case. I could not have asked for better results. I even called him the night before court and had him redo all the paperwork and he had it completed and ready to go! I am very pleased that I chose Jonathan to represent me! Thank you Marks Law Firm!!!

Great team of lawyers that care about their clients.

Jonathan and Debbi exceeded our expectations with regards to handling our relocation and motion to modify the current parenting plan in place. Debbi was on top of everything it took to coordinate the process and we are very grateful. Jonathan was not only extremely responsive, professional and well versed in our particular area of need, he was one step ahead throughout the course of our case. He takes the time to explain the process and express outcome expectations as they relate to case law. It was a great pleasure to work with him. If you or someone you know is in need of an exceptional family law attorney in the Greater St. Louis area - I highly recommend you reach out to The Marks Law Firm! Thank you both so much! #markslawfirm #stlouisfamilylaw #stlouistopattorney

Jonathon Marks was fantastic as my lawyer through a difficult divorce. Always calm and logical, he helped me thru a difficult experience. He was extremely fair and reasonable in terms of fees. If you have to go thru this unfortunate event in your life, I highly endorse the Marks Law Firm.

The Marks Law Firm got me through my divorce promptly and competently. Everyone in the office was always professional and sensitive, downright welcoming. It was never difficult to get in touch with my attorney and all my questions were answered patiently. High quality representation.

My experience with the Marks Law Firm has been outstanding. I am so grateful for everyone at the office. My attorney was Jonathan Marks. He helped me with a divorce, with which I had no experience with and had no idea what to expect. Not only did he advise me, he understood that I was emotionally spent due to the horrific experiences I endured over the last two years of my marriage. I would think that my case was a difficult one. A divorce that turned into a protection order, then a battle with children etc. Even during the times that an attorney was not required, such as filing related paperwork at the court house that should have been an easy task, Jonathan met me there to ensure I filled out the paperwork properly. He didn't have to do that, but understood that I was a wreck. My children and I owe The Marks Law Firm and Jonathan specifically, a great deal of gratitude for seeing my process through, being available 24/7, 7 days a week, and ensuring that my case went exactly how I wanted it to go. In situations where you have a lot on the line, go with the Marks. I would highly recommend this firm! Thanks Jonathan, Amy, and Debbi. You made sure that I got everything I wanted! Thank You.

Jonathan was so good about getting back to me when I needed him. Divorce can be an ugly process and he kept me focused on what needed to be done and not on those "other" things that really don't matter. His demeanor is calm but confident and in control of all situations that my divorce went through. I HIGHLY recommend his counsel !

Divorce is stressful, painful and just sad. You hear people talking about their experiences, but until you go through it yourself you have no idea of the impact. Amy Bender-Levy, attorney with the Marks Law Firm, was on my side from the very beginning.
I had interviewed several attorneys, but when I started talking to Amy, I knew I was in the right place. Her positive attitude coupled with her professional guidance allowed me to go about my day to day activities knowing she was continually working for my best interest.
If you need a good family lawyer, don't hesitate to contact
The Marks Law Firm.

I have been a client with the Marks Law Firm for over 10 years. I can not imagine anyone else that I would entrust with handling my divorce. The firm makes you feel like family and they are gong to do everything they can to help you. You are their number one priority. I highly recommend them to anyone who has to go through a divorce.

Jonathan is an amazing attorney who goes above and beyond. Divorce is complicated and emotional. Jonathan not only provided thorough legal support; he also provided wisdom and emotional support that helped me through the entire divorce process. I can not at enough wonderful things about Jonathan and the entire staff at the Marks Firm.

I highly recommend Jonathan if you find yourself in need of a family law attorney. He is straightforward and worked very hard for me. Since my divorce, I have had need of an attorney twice for modifications. Jonathan was THE VERY BEST attorney I've had so far. I would hire him again and recommend him to anybody.

I've hired Jonathan on more than one occasion. In each instance, he handled my cases skillfully and tactfully. At all times, Jonathan remained sensitive to the needs of my family, and never lost sight of the best interests of my children. He was extremely approachable and available, which was of paramount importance to me as a client. My last case involved a temporary restraining order with a subsequent motion to modify child custody. In this particular matter, time was of the essence - and Jonathan was able to expedite the proceedings in such a way that I was able to achieve my goals without delay. Ultimately, Jonathan won sole legal custody, and sole physical custody for me. I would highly recommend Jonathan to my friends and family, and have done so in the past. He is an outstanding attorney.

I owe a great thanks to Mr. Marks and Mrs. Bender-Levy. They showed nothing but exceptional intelligence and professionalism during my entire ordeal. Emails were always returned promptly even if I thought the questions were silly. Both were always very honest about issues regarding my case and did not try to sugarcoat anything (this is good thing). Nor did they try and rack up any asinine charges for things such as voice mails, phone calls and other items such as that.

I would without a doubt recommend anyone needing this particular type of legal expertise to use this Law Firm.

The Marks Law Firm. In four words utmost professional, first class. If not the best law fim in St. Louis than one of the best. Jonathan Marks, what can I say. Got me thru the most difficult, No, the abouselutey worst experience of my life. Because of the Marks Law Firm I am closer to my children, friends with my x wife and can live my life and be happy. Jonathan, Murray, Amy and Debbie. THANK YOU!

As a father, I am proud to say that Jonathan Marks won me sole legal custody of my two boys. Hire this Firm if you want to win your case. Jonathan is an expert litigation attorney and knows what evidence to use to win your case. Jonathan does a tremendous job on cross examination and aggressively fights in court. Finally, you get what you pay for and The Marks Law Firm is by far the most honest firm I've dealt with regarding fees- no extra bills. If you have a valid case, and they will let you know if you do, I would highly recommend The Marks Law Firm.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jonathan twice over the last couple years. His experience and savvy set my mind at ease as he does his due diligence, is well prepared, sharp, and responsive. Jonathan is honest, concise, and straight to the point in regards to the case, what to expect, and the what the outcome could be. His explanations are logical and full of common sense which makes them easy to understand and follow. He understood my situation and also remembered the details of my previous case which was nice as I didn't have to re-explain my purpose for needing his representation again. My exchanges with Debbi were always more than pleasant, she's very polite, sweet and prompt. While I hope I never need representation in the future, I wouldn't go anywhere else if I do. I'm grateful for the guidance I received from Jonathan and for the outcomes I had in both instances.

Jonathan Marks is a consummate professional. He was the voice of calm and reason through a difficult process. I truly value his guidance.

I have recommended the Marks law firm to several of my friends and family. I am "that client" I like to know everything that is going on, what our options are and what the possible outcomes may be. Jonathan was always very accessible and returned calls promptly. He understands how stressful and upsetting it is when you are going through personal situations and was wonderful at explaining things each step of the way to make it a bit easier. I am grateful for the way Jonathan handled mine and my father's cases with such dignity and compassion.
My sincerest thanks.

Jonathan was an excellent attorney and I can't speak highly enough of his services and firm. I found Jonathan to not only be an expert in family law, but more importantly in case law pertaining to the education of children with special needs. His actions continuously demonstrated my case was important to him which provided much needed peace during the legal process. The outcome of my case was highly favorable.

Jonathan did an excellent and timely job with the mediation process. He went out of his way to explain things from a legal perspective in terms that both parties could clearly understand. He is fair, flexible, and has the ability to make difficult topics easy to discuss in a constructive way. Highly recommended.

Recently Jonathan Marks assisted me with a very sensitive custody modification. Jonathan was there to answer questions or concerns I had and addressed everything in an expedited manner. During this hard time for my family Jonathan made it a little easier to accept the changes that we were facing. The Marks Law Firm is very professional and caring of their clients. I would highly recommend Jonathan Marks with the Marks Law Firm to anyone needing legal help. 10+ stars!

Amy was fantastic to work with regarding our step-parent adoption. She was very thorough, set expectations early on, and provided us with updates throughout the process. Thank you!

Since divorce is one of the most unpleasant things one can go through in life, - its extremely helpful to have an intelligent attorney in your corner. I was grateful to have Jonathan Marks recommended to me. He was able to skillfully negotiate a settlement that was far more favorable than I thought it would be. He is a true professional that I would recommend to anybody.

Jonathan Marks represented me in a relocation case involving my ex wife. He has been a great advocate for my rights as a father. I have found him to be candid regarding my case, fair on his legal fees and respected by the judge who heard my case.

I wish I would have used him when I got divorced 6 years ago!

I heartily recommend his legal services to other fathers out there, who are seeking to protect their rights, in times of divorce , custody or other domestic litigation.

Jonathan Marks was probably the worst choice I've ever made in hiring an attorney. Over the course of just a few months of "retainer based services"), he

Completely ignored a business issue I brought to him (and paid handsomely for in retainers!), which brought an end to my (formerly rapidly expanding) business of 4 years (and over 1mm$ in G/R);

Allowed himself to be entangled in a severe conflict of interest (representing two or more parties with directly conflicting or contradictory interests - you can only serve ONE master, as the saying goes!): this conflict was "resolved" at MY expense, but quietly and without me noticing until it was FAR and away too late to do anything about it;

Failed to appear at court or file the appropriate paperwork on time, which resulted in me getting strikes on my license for a minor ticket, as well as 4 arrests, as he never seemed to be able to properly "clear" the warrant HE had created by failing to just do what he charged (damn near $1,000.00!!!) for;

And lastly, his "billing practices" would make L. Ron Hubbard (the founder of the fake religion/cult of $cientology), blush with embarrassment.

I should have listened to the Judge and filed a bar complaint - unfortunately, I was just too burned out at that point to care: because of my failure to pursue a complaint, I hope I was not responsible for anyone else getting shafted by this smooth talking but ultimate charlatan.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would do so! I approached Jonathan Marks several years ago based on a recommendation by another well-respected attorney in the area. Jonathan has advised, guided, and assisted me through every aspect of my very complicated and on-going divorce situation. Jonathan took the time during our initial consult to get to know me personally so that he could make recommendations based on what would be best for me and my family. I am a classic Type-A personality and tend to be overly analytical as well as emotional when it comes to matters involving my family. Jonathan is very responsive, thorough, and most of all patient with me and all of the requests that I make of him. Jonathan explains situations and options to me truthfully and objectively. Jonathan goes out of his way to make sure that I have all of the information I need in order to make sound, confident decisions. I have also sought Jonathan's counsel for matters related to my employment as well as familial matters outside of my divorce situation. I could not have asked for a better counselor and will continue to leverage Jonathan's expertise of the law for every legal situation that arises for me and my family. I send everyone looking for a GREAT attorney in Jonathan's direction. A big and continued thank you to Jonathan and his team.

Jonathan did a wonderful job with my case. The most impressive thing about Jonathan is his ability to understand what his clients are going through and how they feel. He listens so well, and then he was able to help ME understand the situation.

I have used The Marks Law Firm two separate times for my case. Once for a relocation and once for a Modification. Both times my outcome was as hoped for. Jonathan is an amazing lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone needing help in divorce or custody. Himself and his office staff are courteous and go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and reassured with any questions I may have had. I will definitely use The Marks Law Firm for any other further issues I may have if need be!

If you are lucky enough to have Jonathan Marks for your divorce attorney consider yourself blessed and in very good hands. He is highly knowledgeable and respected by both his colleagues and judges. Jonathan gives lawyers a good name! He walks you through every step of the divorce process and is a straight shooter. You will appreciate his kind demeanor, compassion and understanding of the complicated laws. He's not only the best attorney in St. Louis, but truly cares about you and your well being while going through such a difficult time. He is a rare, gem and St Louis is fortunate to have him. Thank you Jonathan for going above and beyond to represent me, I am truly grateful.

Jonathan is a consummate professional that gets results. He and his staff treated my family with compassion and gave me great advice when I was lost. We wouldn't use anyone else.

Jonathan Marks is arguably the best divorce lawyer in the St. Louis area. His reputation is sterling within the legal community and is respected universally by judges and other attorneys. He is one of the few divorce lawyers you can trust. Most lawyers will tell their clients what they want to hear and take advantage of their vulnerable state while racking up huge fees. Jonathan will only tell you the truth. Every hour he charges you, you know it's for work that was necessary for your case. He will also get you the best deal possible because he truly does put his clients needs first which is why he's so successful and so sought after. In short, if Jonathan Marks agrees to take your case, consider yourself lucky.

I recently just wrote a Thank You Notes to The Marks Law Firm. “I thank you all the prompt and thorough attention service for obtaining a successful outcome.” It describes overall how my experience with the teamwork of Jonathan’s legal practice.

Amy~ is a very thoughtful and caring attorney to update the progress of my case while Jonathan was busy occupied at the moments handling other client’s trials.

Debbi~ is no doubt the greatest legal assistant, who always makes sure Jonathan would timely respond to whatever questions or problems I need Jonathan’s attention.

Jonathan ~ There are too many great things to give the review of how Jonathan handled and represented me for the past year on my divorce case since I fired the previous lawyer.

“Super Lawyer” and “Best Lawyer” these awards obviously already give prospective clients the positive concept of professionalism, quality of service and clients satisfaction they could expect receiving from Jonathan, which I have proved nothing missed on my case.

After all, I am a happy client. Jonathan does not only change my life forever but also helps me Find LIFE.

After 3 years of marriage I found myself in a position where I needed to get a divorce. This woman I married had completely changed in every way imaginable. What a DUD! At my initial visit I met with Mr. Jonathan Marks. He is a very knowledgeable and well versed attorney.

Amy Bender-Levy was then assigned to my case by Mr. Marks. She is incredible. She is also VERY ethical. We had a very fair and amicable divorce thanks to Amy's knowledge of law and great representation. My ex's lawyer was trying to screw us over but Amy's presence in front of the judge on two different occasions earned us a property division outcome that I was VERY happy with. Amy kept the opposing counsel in check the entire time.

The opposing counsel thinks he is a local Irish hot shot but that's because there's not many family lawyers in his area of Chesterfield. It's kind of like saying he's the prettiest girl in the circus. Anyway, if you want a good law firm you need to find them in the heart of a business district. The Marks Law Firm is located in the business epicenter of St. Louis.

Amy Bender-Levy, "Thanks for keeping this divorce quick, fair and easy. You're a great lawyer and a great person."

I transferred to the Marks Law Firm from another attorney after I felt our case needed more attention to detail. We got that, and more. Amy & Jonathan are great to work with, Debbi is always pleasant to speak with. I have already referred someone to them, and will continue to do so.

I have utilized Jonathan for former family law issues. I recently used Jonathan to represent me for another family law debacle. I can't say enough about the professionalism, compassion, knowledge, skillset and abilities he always demonstrates. Jonathan is highly dependable and is always well prepared. Jonathan is a strong and forceful advocate in the courtroom. He is also very skilled at negotiating settlements and working amicably with clients and opposing counsel. I highly recommend him without any reservations!

I can't say enough great things about Jonathan. I came into the office scared and unsure about the divorce process. Jonathan made me feel at ease and told me that I needed to worry about being a good mom and he would take care of the divorce. He did just that. He also made me feel like a priority. He always had my back and was looking out for my best interest. He treated me with respect and always went above and beyond what was required. He is an outstanding lawyer and person. I would highly recommend Jonathan!

For the second time in four years I retained the services of The Marks Law Firm and was well served by Jonathan Marks. I returned to him after the first time I utilized his services in 2010 and received the same professional advice and assistance in the resolution of my case. Jonathan is terrific counsel and I appreciate his attention to the most minute details. I heartily recommend his services to anyone seeking a professional advocate in areas requiring an astute and perceptive lawyer. His professional assistant Debbie is also first-rate and a pleasure to work with. I also plan on using The Marks Law Firm for my estate planning later this year. Clearly, I am a dedicated client!
