Marcel Sergio Benavides

I was very luckily that my court appointed attorney was Marcel. I was skeptical at first being an appointed attorney, but he proved me wrong. He fought for me and the truth. When the odds were not in my favor he did the unimaginable and got my case dismissed. I went from a drug possession charge (fel...ony) to a free man with no felony conviction. He dived into my case and provided evidence that the police were in the wrong. He took his time and researched the case. Marcel was very patient, professional and knowledgeable during the whole case. I have nothing, but good things to say about him. I highly recommend Marcel. He highly experienced and will fight for you!

My husband was looking at 2 years in prison. I had spoke to a few lawyers but i chose Marcel he was the first was to assure me that he would do his best and he was also concerned about my well being. I also liked that we only delt with him. He was very prompt at returning calls and he always went ove...r everything step by step before he made any moves with my husbands case. The end result was amazing very positive. My hudband ended up with 17 days time serverd, no probation and no fines. I would recommend him to anyone with a criminal case. He very professional, prompt, and he genuinely cares about his clients.

I was up to my ears in trouble, didnt know where to turn or what to expect. I couldn't see a light at the end of the tunnel. I called Marcel and he didn't treat me like just another case he really made me feel like I'm in good hands and dont have to go threw the court process alone. He informed me ab...out everything, and advised me of every curve ball that'll be thrown at me. Looking back now I know without question I could not have made it threw my situation without not just a laywer but someone who truly cared about the outcome and keeping my best interests in mind. He worked around the clock with me and the courts to attain the BEST possible results for me. Although I made the bad decisions he didn't treat me like a screw up but rather someone who made a mistake and thats something I didnt expect. I'm truly greatful for everything Marcel did for me and could not have asked for a better person to represent me. I recommend Marcel to anyone seeking a laywer

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.

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!!'
