Ignorance.....failed trust

Ms. Shine was hired to assist in a brief file, charged over $17000.00 (2024) failed to file, took the money and took a tropical vacation for 10 days. Had she filed the motions as requested, it would have resulted in a positive outcome as the USSC identified the offense as not being a crime

Waste of money

Good luck to all the positive reviews. She was hired by my family to do a post conviction appeal. The motion was a boilerplate with history of law rather than any issues being raised. A complete waste of my one shot to freedom. She basically took the money and copied the motion from text books. Terri...ble lawyer, would definitely NOT recommend.

Superb Lawyer

Not only is Marcia one of the most intelligent lawyers I have met, but she is filled with compassion. I have the utmost respect for her, for she tells it like it is. I always knew where I stood, and what my options were. I reside in Massachusetts and could not find anyone locally that knows mo...re about Post Conviction as Marcia does. She is definitely a rarity. She will fight for everything you have coming and then some! To this day Marcia continues to answer all my emails, phone calls, etc. I have never not received a response from Marcia herself. I have, and will continue to highly recommend Marcia to anyone in need of a top notch attorney whether it be pre-trial, sentencing, appeals, or post conviction.
