Marcel Sergio Benavides

If you are searching for the best criminal lawyer, Marcel Benavides is the attorney for you. I was facing a felony drug charge on top of a DUI. He got the felony charge completely dismissed in Oakland County. He tackled my case aggressively and provided the best possible outcome I could have hoped fo...r. He was professional, timely, and transparent. I highly recommend Marcel if you or someone you know are facing criminal charges and you don’t know who to turn to. I am very grateful for having him on my side through a very difficult time.

My 17 year old son got a possession charge on school property which risked his future if it ended up on his record! Marcel was able to get him 6 months probation and kept the charge off his record! This charge could have affected school loans for college as well as future employment! A young kid who ...made a mistake was able to receive a second chance thanks to Marcel! He always kept us updated and informed. He also put us in touch with a drug counselor for my son who was absolutely amazing! I am extremely happy and thankful for the outcome of this case!!

Marcel Benavides was highly recommended to me by a family member after i had gotten a DUI and possession of marijuana charge. My BAC was over twice the legal limit which means i was facing a "Super Drunk" in which case the consequences are more severe. Mr. Benavides was the perfect person to represen...t my case and worked to ensure that i didn't get any time in jail and also got the super drunk charge lowered to an operating while intoxicated which saved myself a lot of money, time, and consequences. Probation time was lowered, as well as court costs and amount of time i would have to test for alcohol; along with the fact that the possession charge will not remain on my public record. Overall very fair priced, helpful, and dependable lawyer. Incredible pleased with the results of my case thanks to the outstanding work of Mr. Benavides. I would highly recommend Marcel Benavides to anyone in need of a lawyer that will go above and beyond expectations.

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!

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.
