Marcel Sergio Benavides

Very good lawyer, he goes above and beyond expectations. Was facing high charges for a DUI and he managed to get me to the lowest charges. He takes the time and effort to make sure you will be in the best possible position in your case. From the start he told me everything will be alright, and he was... right, very confident. Great lawyer, great results!

Following some negative experiences with public defenders in the Oakland County courts, I thoroughly researched who the best criminal defense attorneys were in my area, and found Marcel. At the time, I was facing 2-20 years for a multitude of charges following a drug problem which had gotten the best... of me, and had pretty much lost hope of ever being able to get my life back on track. Retaining Marcel as my attorney was the start of a significant and positive direction in my life. He talked straight with me, and treated me as if I was the most important case he's ever had. I was only 20, and even my own family had all but resigned themselves from having anything to do with me after several years of hard drugs and bad decisions. The day of my sentencing he drove hours to get to the court (from another courthouse far away) after a severe ice storm. I got the distinct impression that Marcel takes his job very seriously, and no case is too big - or not worth fighting for. He was able to get me a reduced sentence including boot camp, despite having one of the toughest judges in Oakland County. 7 months later and I am out, in the best shape of my life physically, mentally, and spiritually, and on my way to be the productive member of society that I always hoped I could become. I shudder to think of the situation I would be in, had I not found Marcel. He was more than just an attorney, he believed in me.

Was very pleasesd with mr Benavides work he was a court appointed Attorney for my son. My son had serious charges. Several felonies he was looking at doing 57/77 months in prison he got my so. Charges down to one year in a thumb corrections facility with Y.T.A IM VERY PLEASESD WITH HIS WORK GREA...T JOB

I hired Marcel to help me with 12 felony counts which would not only get me jail sentence but will guarantee my deportation for something that I wasn't fully a part of. Marcel worked hard to make sure that doesn't happen. Not only did he get the 12 counts dropped but reached out to an immigration law...yer to find a charge that will allow me to stay here. The prosecutor he was up against was not the most easy going and the fact that he managed to get all of this done is a miracle!!'
