About|History From a covered outdoor booth in front of a Southwest Houston grocery store, Scott Markowitz, Attorney at Law set up shop with a banner, a couple of legal pads, pens and a box of simple business cards. The legal problems most often encountered were disputes over money, car wrecks and immigration issues. It was not long before the traffic tickets and other criminal law clients came asking for help. It was in the traffic courts where the business grew steadily and where the practice of The Markowitz Law Firm became centered, grounded and grew. Duing the next 23 + years, Scott Markowitz distinguished himself in an already crowded traffic ticket defense business with his down-to-earth personality, endless tenacity, uncanny resoursefulness and most of all, the incredible support staff, legal assistants and associate attorneys surrounding him.
