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.

This Person retained my office after losing a jury trial with another lawyer in hopes of getting a New Trial. I was paid ONLY to review his case and advise. The client failed to even make the initial meeting and had a friend drop off his retainer. I spent a day reviewing his file and lining up issues for his possible appeal. He appeared at a second meeting now claiming he didn't want to appeal, put out any more money and Abruptly Demanded a Full Refund. He began to lose it and refused to leave until Police were called. Later, he was ordered by the Court to receive Mental Health Treatment and was further ordered to refrain from threatening behavior while on Probation. His claims were investigated and quickly dismissed by the Attorney Grievance Commission and he never filed any Civil Suit to get our fees returned. His internets complaints are also against the Court, His prior lawyer, the Bloomfield Hills Police and many others. Its VERY SAD! He claimed in December of 09', that he never wanted to appeal, but on the same day as he hired our office he posted the following explaining to the world that his new lawyer was going to get him a new trial and wrote: Re: Bloomfield Hills Michigan Police will lie and beat you December 09, 2009 12:55AM Registered: 3 years ago Posts: 13 Soon, I will have a new Trial with my New Attorney, we will see what the Police officers in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan will say in the Next Jury trial. How, they can get away with what was done to me it is not right and I am sure the next trial will prove that. The Chief of Police called me a felon and the Police Officers in court called me a felon and lied about me, it looks like the Jury did go along with the police, but I feel they were just mad at the Judge, because they had 9 questions for the Judge and he refused to answer any of the questions for them, after he made them wait for over 6 hours, so they came back in 20 min. with guilty after the Judge made them wait and wait for nothing, so they took it out on me. When the Police said I just looked suspicious and I did nothing wrong, it was a fact that I was not guilty of any thing. The truth will come out with the new trial and New Lawyer. Maybe this time the News Media will put my story on the news. If the Bloomfield Hills Police will do this to me a 52 year old man that did nothing wrong, they are doing this to others and this is not right. JS Ann Arbor/Bloomfield Hills
