Outstanding, worth every penny
Two misdemeanors, handled professionally and honestly. I don't know what would have happened were it not for Marcel in the tough Rochester jurisdiction. I am VERY happy with the results.
"Marcel is an outstanding lawyer. I have worked with him on several cases over the years. His courtroom skills and extensive knowledge of criminal defense and civil rights law are impressive. Marcel is well-respected in the legal community by judges and lawyers alike, and is always determined to obtain the best result for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation."
"Marcel is an excellent criminal defense lawyer. He has taken the skills he learned while being an assistant prosecuting attorney and become one of the premier criminal defense attorneys in the Detroit area. I have worked with Marcel for 7 years. He is honest, caring, capable and professional. I will continue to confidently refer cases to Marcel. I highly endorse this lawyer."
