Outstanding
When Marcus took my deferred disposition case, around 3-4 months before the court date, he was under the impression that I had completed everything on my end and all we had to do was show up in court. This was not the case. I was behind on almost everything. This was mostly my fault. I’ve never seen had anyone advocate with as much conviction as Marcus. He gave me the benefit of every doubt, and when the court date came, he was able to secure some extra time for me. We’re talking months of extra time. At the end, I came out with a successful deferred. Thank you Marcus. Truly. I would’ve been lost without you. L

You came to the Wraight guy
I was appointed Marcus for a complex Grand Larceny type case on which the charges were for lacked of a better phrase trumped up. He quickly mapped out a plan of action after becoming familiar with the details of my case, and to my complete and utter surprise was able to secure a dismissal within an hour of me leaving his office. Marcus was expedient in identifying many complexities which he communicated effectively with the prosecutor which resulted in a better result then I expected so fast. The best way I can describe it to a potential client is that he asked me what my ideal outcome was for the situation, and to my complete and utter shock he was able to attain it the same day. I wouldn’t change a thing about my experience with Marcus.

One of the best
Marcus Wright was great. He took the time to make sure I understood exactly what was happening. Took several felonies and got them dropped to misdemeanors and in the end if I do everything that court-ordered which is pretty reasonable considering my record would be a clean slate. Respond to my calls sends me reminder emails make sure I stay on point.

The absolute most Amazing attorney I could have asked for!! His reputation of being a bulldog definitely precedes him!!
I consulted with a few different Attorneys for my case. Basically I had an insanely psychotic mentally emotionally and physically abusive girlfriend that had been charged with multiple domestic assaults and then some against me. (Long "CRAZY" story short) This very conniving, manipulative, narcissist ex of mine had me set up. She let me catch her in bed with another man. She then lied and had me charged and served with a summons for "burglary" which in Maine is a "class B felony". So for me never having been in trouble and anything on my record other than driving violations. I was extremely terrified and very vulnerable, knowing she had a very well known lawyer with a very strong record. The first day I called Marcus and left him a voicemail, I could not believe how prompt he got back to me. I was incredibly impressed right away after speaking to him. He was very professional and instantly took alot of weight and stress off of me. I had finally felt very confident in his ability to represent me. I loved how he was able to calm my nerves and made me feel so relaxed knowing he would be working his butt off to help me beat this ridiculous (BS) charge. I especially appreciated the way he would put everything and all these big confusing law words and terms into ways that I would understand and comprehend. Mr. Wraight went Soo much further and absolutely went above and beyond. Words cannot express the appreciation and respect that I have for him and all he did. I never had to worry or wonder about what was going on with my case. I cannot believe how much he actually responded and kept me in the loop. This amazing man made the scariest time of my life so much easier and he absolutely was a bulldog!! He is truly one of the most stand up guy I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I can confidently say he saved my life and my freedom. I made sure I listened and did absolutely every single task and thing he asked me to do for him. I let him just take charge and do what he does best!! He did exactly what he said he would do and absolutely blew this ridiculous charge out of the water. He never gave up even when it seemed impossible to beat this case!! I give my word to anyone looking for a incredibly tough and non-stop badass all around great attorney that will make sure he fights his absolute ass off for you. You will not be disappointed I promise!! I can't thank you or tell you enough of how appreciative and blown away I am for how he handled this case and my freedom. I look at Marcus as more of a friend than just some attorney working to help me. Thank you for everything Marcus, You sir are AMAZING!!

Man for the job.
I was lucky enough to have Mr. Wraight appointed to me by the court. Not only was he very personanable and informative, he went the extra mile for me so I wouldn't have to plead guilty or NC.. They almost force people to do such thing and it would have tarnished an otherwise perfect record.. Thanks again!!

Portland's Best
Marcus represented me recently and I couldn't have been more pleased. From the start of my legal issues he not only handled my case in a professional manner but also calmed my worries on a personal level while navigating the legal system. I truly felt he was invested in getting the best outcome possible for me and I couldn't have asked for more. Do yourself a favor when choosing an attorney and talk to Marcus.

Going Home
I had a probation violation and was looking at a potential 18 month surrender.Marcus formulated a strategy and applied it from the beginning of the hearing to the very end.Marcus never skipped a beat and was pretty much relentless in is pursuit of our ultimate goal of getting me reprobated.I tip my hat to him and more importantly I,m home.
