About

i have vast experience in criminal law.  I served as a Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney where I prosecuted felony cases, sex crimes, and a number of notable white collar cases. I worked closely with the Montgomery County Detective Bureau on verticle prosecutions personally assigned to me by the District Attorney and First Assistant District Attorney. My private practice of law began in 1989, when I joined my father and brother and was later joined by my step-mother in our family owned law firm in western Montgomery County. Our firm serves clients in Montgomery, Berks and Chester County cases. During the first 2 years in private practice I served as a part time Public Defender and defended serious criminal cases on a daily basis. I have continued to serve private clients in criminal, civil and estate administration cases from 1989 to the present and I have the broad experience needed to serve my clients well.  In serving my clients and their families, I have written countless wills and estate planning documents and have extensive experience in estate administration and personal injury matters. Take advantage of the free consultation I offer new clients and I will show you what I can accomplish for you.

Mr. Markofski is my guardian angel working as a lawyer in PA. I was stupid to have made mistakes with the law twice but I was so smart and lucky to have chosen Markofski law. My first case 5 years ago was a big mess that involved multiple charges and could have ruined my life, but in the end he was able to plead the right way and use the right evidence to get the charges dismissed except one that only resulted in probation. I thought i would never get in trouble with the law again but i went through a bad time in my life again and got a DUI in the highest offense. Immediately i thought my life was over. But I knew I could trust Markofski law again to help me. Because of my prior, it was a tough case but after a lot of efforts, Mr. Markofski was able to get the best outcome possible. I am a good, educated guy but went through some unfortunate events in my life. Mr. Markofski defended me with the highest knowledge of the law and always explained every scenario so I was fully aware of what to expect. In addition, he mentored me about life that helped in so many ways. Although I will always make sure to never have trouble with the law again, I will definitely keep in touch with Mr. Markofski as a lifetime friend and mentor. I don't understand why there are the other 1 star reviews. I can only imagine they are people without patience and common sense of how the law works. Mr. Markofski has decades of experience and he runs the firm with his brother who is also very experienced and dignified. I was always treated with respect and updated with changes to my case. I thank you so much Mr. Markofski!

James Markofski has been our family attorney for a very long time. He has been our advocate for property, personal injury, estate planning, and legal work when my children were "in trouble". Needless to say, he is the "go to guy"! No one will work harder for your rights. His counsel has always been "spot on". I, or my family, would never ever consider legal advice from anyone else. Respectfully John A. Swartz Sr.

I am amazed at the level of compassion Mr. Markofski had for me. Within ten minutes of speaking with him, he knew I didn't have an issue and was worried about nothing. I had an underlying personal issue that could have resulted in criminal charges. (Relating to addiction) It is at this point that any other attorney would have just hung up, telling me to call back when I had a problem. This man spent over an hour pointing me in the right direction, gave me sound personal advice and followed up with me over the course of a month. I am out of the woods so to speak. My family is intact and I've moved on. It is in my experience that compassion and empathy cannot be taught it, it is a trait. One this lawyer has allot of.

I was in need of legal counsel in regards to a potential issue that occurred with our non profit. After consulting with James the stress I was experiencing due to the situation was taken away. After thoroughly reviewing all the information pertaining to our issue, he assured me that this was a manageable problem and that any legal issues that arose he would be there to handle them. He is personable and easy to talk to, which is extremely helpful in stressful times. I would highly recommend him, and plan on continuing to utilize his legal services for our non profit and for the business I own.

James and staff are very fine people. They are not stuffy or scary. They listen and give you advice. I would go back if needed . They are my first choice. I need also to say James made me laugh during a trying time. Thank you all so much.

Mr. James Markofski was an excellent, diligent, caring and highly effective attorney for me. He worked tirelessly on my case to help me. He understood my situation, cared about my worries and concerns and worked hard to make sure we got the outcome we wanted. I would go back to him again in a heartbeat!! His knowledge and experience about the law was very reassuring when my nerves were on edge about my case.

James represented me in my lawsuit for a bad car accident I was in. He worked hard to get me the settlement I deserved. He was awesome to work with, always answered my questions in a timely matter and never had me wondering. James was always positive and had kind words for me to help me through everything. I highly recommend James!!
