Marc R. Lakin

Honorable & knowledgeable Professional. Marc covered all the bases regarding my legal situation and provided the advise that was spot on. His legal advice helped me avoid several legal traps & saved me a bunch of money along the way. Marc is a straight forward legal counselor & would use him again....

Marc was the perfect lawyer for my case. I was facing 5 to 40 years on a drug conspiracy case. Right away, Marc went to work. I was taken by surprise when I was arrested because I had not lived in Michigan for 5 years and I was arrested in Nebraska and extradited to Michigan on these charges. Marc ...informed me that under the Safe Haven Program my sentence might be taken under the mandatory minimum of 5 years. The prosecutor was seeking a 35 month sentence. Marc reviewed the facts, visited me at the jail, and took his time to explain what he was going to file with the court, why he was filing it and he made sure I had a full understanding of everything that was happening to me. Marc negotiated with the prosecutor and he got the prosecutor to agree to a plea agreement of 25 months. Marc waved the trial and I took the plea agreement of 25 months. Marc informed me the judge could go over or under the sentence the prosecutors recommendation. At my sentencing, Marc fought hard for me. The judge sentenced me to 60 days and credited me the 60 days I had served while in custody and 5 yrs of probation. Marc was a blessing from God for me. If you decide to hire Marc Lakin as your attorney it will be one of the greatest decisions you will ever make!

I consulted Attorney Lakin recently on a criminal matter. I briefly talked with him over the phone. Mr. Lakin told me that prosecution is scared of him and that is why I should hire him as my lawyer in my case. No prosecutor is scared of any lawyer. Mr. Lakin lied to me and I feel he did this jus...t to get paid. He made other bad remarks to me which made me uncomfortable speaking to him ever again. I will never hire this individual and I suggest that everyone should do the same. As for my case, I did retain an attorney and I was treated with respect for me and my case.

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!!!

When I an two ther people talked to this man about my case, we all talked to him about getting my drivers lic back, and he told me he could help if he was given $2,500.00 up front, so he was given the money and the check was cashed the same day, he told me he could not meet me in person for 3 days, h...e had court, so I go a ride to his office 3 days later,because no driver lic. and he told me he could not help me with out another $10 Thousand up front to go to court for another trial and another $8 Thousand to start up more fees for him. I told him we did not talk to him about a new trial and I would like a refund and I would just go and as he had his hand on the phone he told me and a Medical Doctor that was with me to Leave then or he would call the police that he does not give refunds and he knew I would be put into jail because I am not called a felon. This man will lie and take your money, do not use him or trust him.The question here does not really match with my situation I only was in his office for about 15 min. and he did nothing for me and has all the Money, $2,500.00.
