Blessed with the best

I have used Marc for multiple convictions now. He will get you the best outcome and make you feel like he really cares. The money is worth it, for the charges he can get dropped. He got my points from 12 to 4 and had two major convictions replaced with one minor one. He is very insightful and has bee...n doing this for almost 40 years. Thank you Marc!

Bright and Strategic - Go with Mr Lakin for the Win

I chose to post anonymously for privacy reasons, but I am a true client and extremely impressed with Mr Lakin’s work ethic, strategy, planning, follow through and drive to succeed. I consulted with Mr Lakin to review my case for the appeal process and he went to task. He thoroughly explained my optio...ns/risks and gave me ample time to decide to use his service. Once retained, Mr Lakin went to work to ensure the victory. The only thing I’m upset about? Is that I didn’t hire him for the entire process. He’s one of a kind. You’re in good hands with Marc Lakin. So much so, that even my Judge told me (after agreeing to our motion): “you have a GOOD attorney.”

Mark will USE you!! BEWARE!!!

Mark was hideous and we had to fire him. Mark was not interested in working his butt off as he insinuated at first. DO NOT HIRE MARK RIDICULOUS LAKIN!! Save your money and stay away from this thing!

Scam

This so-called lawyer is so inapt I’m surprise he matches his suit pants and his jacket in the morning! He’s a drunk he’s clueless and he will sell you down the river into a jail cell faster than you can say railroaded!

Great Attorney!

I utilized Attorney Lakin after firing another attorney who was not knowledgeable or capable of handling my son’s case. Attorney Lakin was very knowledgeable of the law pertaining to the case and was very attentive to our needs. He fought for us. My family had no knowledge of the court system or how ...to deal with it and Attorney Lakin greatly helped us. He stood up for us and wasn’t afraid of other attorneys. I’m very grateful to him and what he did for my family.
