Marc Shiner

Shiner knows this,... 98% of all criminal cases will go to Plea bargain ,.. out of those 2% that fight for their rights 1% will win,.. and its not the side that uses public defenders,.. So with that knowledge he will automatically size you up to see what he can charge you knowing that your fate is p...retty much already sealed,.. when you ask to see what his exorbitant fees actually paid for,. he will tell you that he does not have to show you anything ! he will tell you that you signed a contract and you should read it ! This Attorney is a disgrace to the Bar association - If you use this firm understand this,. he has gone out of his way to to take a client ( ME ) and literally ruin my career by separating as council ! Not only did he do this but he also called the Public defender that was to take over from his disgraceful performance and tell him that I was guilty !! My day in court and your day in court will never be heard because a plea bargain to him is a win ,.. your innocence means nothing,.. all he is interested in is your money, His ego, and the politics of his local court systems... The judicial system is broken because of slime like this..

Mr. Marc Shiner helped me at a time in my life where I essentially sure what the outcome would be. From the second I first consulted him I knew his expertise and passion for justice was what I needed. The case ended in a no file and it’s all due to Mr.Shiner being committed to my case and seeing me r...egain my life back. THANKYOU Mr.Shiner and your whole legal team!! Don’t take any chances, let Marc Siner defend you today!!

Short version: They wildly exceeded my expectations. Outstanding job. All charges dropped. Long version: Got arrested on a small infraction that could have easily blown up into something big if my case was not handled with the proper care. Opened up Google and started searching for a defense attor...ney. Narrowed it down to three different firms, took the weekend to ponder who to retain. Here's why I decided to go with PSM&W: 1) My attorney friend (who, unfortunately for me, is an immigration lawyer, not a defense lawyer) had heard of Marc Shiner. Clearly Mark has a reputation for being a heavy-hitting defense lawyer if my buddy, who lives 45 miles away and practices a different type of law, has heard of him. 2) Through my initial conversations with Marc, it was clear he knew the judge and all the local prosecutors very well, knew them by first and last name, their personalities, etc. This is key. The law is black and white, but when you're in legal trouble, you need a lawyer who knows the people on the other side of your case. So, despite another local attorney offering to represent me at an extremely low price, I retained Marc Shiner from Perlet, Shiner, Melchiorre & Walsh. Turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Marc immediately gave me a list of things to do. Things that would help me look good when it came time to present my case to the prosecutor. This turned out to be important when the court date came around, plus it put my mind at ease by giving me something to focus on. Another thing - Marc did a great job of making himself available for phone calls during the time leading up to my court date. I've heard stories of lawyers turning on the charm in the initial interactions in order to get your business, then basically abandoning you once the check is in their hands. I was a bundle of nerves in the first few weeks after my arrest. I probably called Marc's office more than I needed to. Marc was gracious enough to have a few quick pep talks with me, and when he wasn't available, his paralegal Merchi Fernandez (who was very helpful and sweet btw), was kind enough to take my call. In summary, Marc did a fantastic job. If you're in legal trouble in Palm Beach County, don't take any chances on less-reputable firms who may offer to represent you at a cheaper price. Get an attorney who not only knows the law, but knows the legal system and the people in it as well.

Mr.Shiner not only worked hard to help me get through the scenario I was in, but truly cared about my well being. He advised in the best course of action and gave mutiple ways to go about getting the results. He used his connections and his intelligence to get the job done right. He was fair and unde...rstanding. Most importantly he earned my trust because of his work ethic. He wanted to win, not for himself but because he knew it was right. Marc Shiner is a good man but an even better Lawyer.

I started out with a felony battery charge, which could yield up to 5 years in prison. After Marc performed the proper due diligence, he was able to negotiate the charge down to a withhold(less than a misdemeanor). I went from facing up to 5 years in prison to literally walking away scott free. ... I can't thank you enough Marc.
