Quick Case Resolution, Fair Fees, and Peace of Mind

From the very first phone call to the moment I walked out of their office, I felt completely supported, protected, and at peace. Marc Seitles and his entire team are not just outstanding legal professionals—they are genuinely good people who care about their clients like family. After having multi...ple disappointing experiences with other attorneys—both in civil and criminal matters—I was hesitant and anxious. But Marc completely changed my perception. He listened carefully, responded quickly, and took full ownership of my case from start to finish. His ability to communicate clearly and act decisively brought immediate relief to a situation that had been causing me great stress. What impressed me the most was the speed and efficiency. If you’re looking for someone who can help you close your case fast and effectively, Marc is the one. He’s incredibly responsive—you’re not left waiting or wondering. He answers or returns your calls personally and makes sure you’re never in the dark. Even more importantly, Marc is fair and honest when it comes to money. He doesn’t create unnecessary steps to charge you more—he charges what the work is truly worth. There are no games, no inflated costs, and no hidden fees. Just straight, ethical, and transparent legal support. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for strong, honest, and compassionate legal representation.

C. Suazo

At the beginning of my process I reviewed the different profiles of good lawyers but, after a thorough screening, there were two left, one of them was Marc and when I interviewed him the click was mutual and instantaneous, I convinced him to take my case. God put you in my path, teacher, I will not t...ire of saying how efficient, capable and brutal you can be in a court… On behalf of my family, thank you, thank you for having me with them. God bless you, teacher.

White collar crime lawyer | Apr 29

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Marc Seitles for over 7 years and have watched his development into one of the stars of Miami's criminal defense bar. With his aggressive and highly effective advocacy, he has earned more dismissals on federal charges than probably any other lawyer in Miami. Additionally, he has proven to be an effective and formidable trial lawyer. Recently, he along with his partner won an almost impossible acquital in a 141 count case where his doctor client, Ali Shaygan, was charged with selling prescription medication. At the same time, Marc sincerely cares about his clients and is committed to getting the best possible outcome. You could not ask for a more talented, more committed attorney than Marc Seitles."
