Ms.
I don’t even know where to begin – Marc, Alyssa, and their entire staff saved my fiancé’s life. Halfway through his marijuana conspiracy case, they were brought on and scoured through every single crumb of evidence. They were the most dedicated lawyers we could have ever hired. They were always available to answer any questions that my fiancé and I had, and were devoted to making sure he had every defense possible. They were available on weekends, late at night, you name it, they answered my calls and kept me informed on what was going on in my fiancé’s case. My fiancé was denied bond early on in his case, and Marc and Alyssa from the day they were hired were relentless about communicating with him and meeting with him, even when the jail made it difficult. Alyssa was consistently available, knowledgeable, and willing to listen to any and all of my fiancés concerns. She carried him through that very difficult time in his life. Marc and Alyssa were helpful on so many levels and cared so deeply about my fiancé’s case and the injustice he was facing. In my heart, it is easy to say they are the best lawyers we could have every hired. I can’t stress enough how much they impacted my fiancé’s case for the better. He is a free man now, and I cannot thank them enough for all of the terrific hard work they poured into his case. To anyone facing criminal charges, I would recommend hiring this team of impeccable defense attorneys in a heartbeat.

Thumbs UP
By far Marc and Ashley are the best federal defense attorneys in Dade and Broward County. They represented me in a federal case and I was very pleased with the outcome. They went above and beyond as far as fighting with prosecutors and they were able to get 3 of my charges dropped, which reduced my sentence. They are two individuals left in the attorney world who still have a heart and a conscious. I highly recommend this firm!!!!!! -Corey W.

Thank you Marc Seitles!
“I want to thank God for the opportunity of having Marc Seitles as my attorney and for representing me the way he did. I hired him and he helped me to view things with a different perspective with clarity and with reason. He fought my case with all his strength and had an amazing dedication from beginning to end. He never stopped fighting and always found even the smallest of things to use to help me for our victory. He has an amazing team that are all great human beings and they become very interested in my case like if it was their own case. They are always available for any questions we had and they were always very nice and professional. Criminal Defense Attorney Marc and his team were able to reduce my sentence and that allowed me to come home way before the expected time to be with my daughters and husband. Mr. Seitles is recognized by his clients and friends as a man of word and action."

Grateful
I don't have the words to describe my gratitude and appreciation for the level of council I received from Marc Seitles and his team. I not only had an experienced attorney, I had an attorney who cared. Marc, from day one has always been straight forward, he never b.s me. He is very passionate about what he does and is aggressive and persistent, (the guy doesn't No for an answer). I am not one to go out of my way to find out how to leave a review, but I felt compelled to after Marc did what I was told was impossible from other lawyers! I am free and at peace for once in what seemed like eternity! I am very pleased with my results.

Marc D Seitles
Without any doubts Marc Seitles is the best attorney ever, he is the only best ever to be honest with you, I had no hopes really! When we came to his office we were devastated, full of fear, with a long sentence offer of over nine years. Since that day forward a continuous fight continued, with had no hope and we had no faith in anyone. But since day one and throughout the case he continued telling us to have faith in him, that one day we would give him a big hug for saving my husband. I lost my mind so many times and I felt I was out of control, but Marc was always there having lots of patience and answering all our calls and questions. He didn’t care if it was the weekend or a holiday, he was always there, even when we called at 11 o’clock at night he always answered. He continued working very hard for the best sentence for my husband. The road was not easy, and I lost my faith many times. We worked with him almost every other week meeting and getting documents he would ask for. The results came out to be amazing and even after this huge victory he continued helping us in other things not fully related to his case. He also has a great team which they always have a way to find an answer to every little issue. Marc will be our attorney for life and not only an attorney but a great friend. He is an excellent human being, great friend, when you think the world is coming on top of you he gives you peace and support. He was always ready to fight every move against the government. We did great by picking him over many other criminal defense attorneys. We recommend him 100% to anyone who is going thru a criminal case. Marc gave my husband half of the sentence they were giving him and today I give thanks to God for sending us Marc in our paths and for his excellent professionalism.

Excellent Lawyer
Sietles & Litwin is a practice I highly recommend to everyone. During a very challenging time for my family, Marc was a person who excelled in providing clarity, information and guidance. His work ethic was unrelenting in seeking justice and defending the rights of my loved one. I admire his professionalism all throughout our situation and constantly was impressed by his legal counsel and skill. This is a trustworthy firm, who provided my family a peace of mind and service that was truly priceless. I never would of imagined my family would of been confronted with such a terrifying reality, but thankfully Marc was the person to change that and guide my family to justice.

Nothing but superlatives
Marc Seitles and his law practice come highly recommended by myself and my family. Through what can be some rather harrowing times and downright scary moments, Marc and his staff were kind, professional, and tenacious in the delivery of the justice that we sought. Unfortunately it's in times of great duress that people turn to others that make them all sorts of promises. I can very boldly claim that Marc was always realistic and optimistic through every step of the journey. I am proud to call him my friend at this point and urge anybody looking for this type of legal service to give him and his offices a call.

All or Nothing Attitude
Marc Seitles, is objectively one of the best criminal attorneys alive today. I hired Mr. Seitles because my mother was charged with healthcare fraud which was a shock for our entire family. We visited several attorneys, including some big names, like Roy Black. But in the end my mother hired Marc. Even with his broken Spanish, my mother who only speaks spanish sensed from the beginning that he had more heart and fight in him. Poor Marc, soon learned that he wasn't just taking on, one new client but two very protective daughters. Understanding that, Marc was kind and responsive to all of our questions. He listened to all of our, remarks, emails, phone calls, input, even when we made him the focus of our anger, he would give objective and well thought out responses. He understood that as a family we were also heavily affected by the charge. Our main goal, was to have our mom be placed under house arrest, probation at home. Marc fought until the end to make it happen. Before sentencing, he was going back and forth with the prosecutor, and that's what you want in an attorney, someone who doesn't stop until it's over. The day of sentencing, it was very clear he came prepared. He didn't back down from any of the judges' remarks or queries against such a lenient sentence. He rebutted every dispute, and offered a lot of cases to back him up. He truly blew us away with his "all or nothing" attitude. At the very end, we were sure the judge would give my moth 3 years in prison, she was tough, and fought him on every fact, repeatedly stating that she didn't think there was enough punishment if she let my mom stay home. Long story short, my mother got to stay home, and we could not be more appreciative of Marc for it. It was absolutely Marcs' winning attitude and persistence that got her to change her mind on the punishment issue. All our family including my mom loved his services and professionalism. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone who finds themselves in any criminal trouble, because it's so seldom that you find an attorney, who will fight for you to the end. So seldom you meet an attorney like Marc Seitles!

I was referred to this lawyer by an inmate after a really bad experience with other lawyer here in miami. I couldn't be more happy since I met him. Great lawyer, excellent person that really cares about the client. He exceeded my expectations with my husband case. During that hard time he brought hope into my family with his excellent representation. I would truly recommend his service. You won't regret it.

"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."
