Miracle Worker

Nothing short of remarkable. Performed a miracle for me in drug case. If you value your freedom you need Marc on you side. You will not find a better criminal attorney!

Posted by anonymous | August 06, 2009 | Criminal Defense

excellent trial lawyer

Mr. Shiner went to trial on a home invasion and firearm case for my family. When the not guilty verdict was read we knew we had our life back.

Posted by Aaron | March 20, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

FIND ANOTHER LAWYER !

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..

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
