Marc R. Lakin

Mr. Lakin was retained by me for a criminal case. I explained to him the facts of the case. When Mr. Lakin responded to me he did not stick to any facts I gave him. Instead he tried to do things his own way! He argued against me more than he argued for me! I immediately realized a huge mistake had be...en made. He lied to me about evidence that he said he would bring to court. He never brought important documents to court that he promised and it almost totally ruined my whole case! Luckily I had a good lawyer waiting to take over this mess. It is my opinion that Mr. Lakin does not try to represent his clients and everyone should stay away from him. Do not hire marc lakin please!!! I almost went to jail because of him! I could not communicate with him at all. He was even wrong and lied to me about what was involved in my case. He told me that prosecution had a white female witness who saw my car at the scene. I was told that was not true by lawyer so he gave the court and me false information on purpose!!!

I have read some reviews before mine and I want to share my story with Mr. Marc Lakin. Marc was my 3rd lawyer on the same case. The reason for that is because my 1st one failed miserably and I am glad I realized it early enough. The 2nd guy was just a bad lawyer. I am talking silk stalkings lawyers... and they couldn't built a case if it fell out of the sky it landed on their head. Marc is all business. First of all we agreed on a price. He was sympathetic that 2 lawyers before me took me for a ride and we agreed on a fixed price. It was not cheap but at least I knew what I was getting into. The problem when you do that is that if the attorney is not a trustworthy person you are screwed. Marc is a man of his word though. At times between court days I got scared, "what if he doesn't show" or "what if he hits me for more money".. Nope . Marc showed integrity and now I trust him all the way. As far as the quality of a lawyer. Before him I kept telling my wife that we are screwed because we couldn't find a kick-ass lawyer to take our case all the way. My 2nd attorney was trying to convince me to take a plea for something I didn't do. Are you kidding me? All he cared about was to get paid. Marc looked at my case and said. "you feel you were wrongfully accused don't you"? I said YES. He said "don't worry we will go through this together and you will be fine". I swear to you I thought he was BSing me. Now I know that he didn't bs me but he was sharing from experience. After I told him all the facts he kept coming with different defenses using the same information. I could not believe how brilliant this man is. Today we got the result we wanted. Dismissed. He is a TRIAL lawyer. If you want a plea go with just anyone. if you want someone who will actually fight for you and your rights then go with Marc. I am comparing Marc to 2 other Silk Stalking attorneys remember that. This was my first case ever but thank God I fired the other two. I sound like a commercial for him but he deserves it. Anything you want Marc. You made a friend for ever.

I hired Lakin Law in June and was just acquitted at my Jury trial just before Christmas. My Conversion Van was identified as shooting at a house in Detroit. Mr. Lakin knocked on doors to find me the witnesses needed (not easy to get people to speak up) and presented them at trial. I was facing up to ...life in prison but now I will spend that time raising my kids. Thanks Marc and your whole staff. Merry Christmas!! Bless You..
