Disability Claim

Marc is an excellent at his job. He gathered the information for my case effectively and efficiently and completed it like a master. My social security case for disability was very complex he managed it with kindness and respect. As a newly ill executive applying for full disability at an early age..., he was a god send. Excellent advice support and results.

Kallco vs Pugh

I wish that there was a way to give him zero stars, he is probably one of the worst in Michigan, he acts as a good decent person, but he will literally work against you on your personal injury case or disability, he does not care for your well-being, or medical needs you might have as a result of a...n accident, and he definitely does not care for you to be compensated for your damages. He dragged my case for almost 3 years and then dropped out last minute, leaving me stranded, and on top of that he made it impossible for me to be able to hire any other attorney, by telling them that I was very hard to deal with person. He took my case even though his license was suspended in 2020. He did not answer any phone calls, messages or emails for the first six months of hiring him. He would pretend to work on your case, but actually not do any of what he says. He is the biggest liar I’ve ever met and he has no shame doing it. But he will make you feel as if you are in good hands so be careful. He caused a great deal of stress on top of what the intentional rear end accident and who ever is behind it all. Definitely not recommend anyone hiring this attorney. I have all the proof and audio recordings for him to completely lose his license, and I will not give up until I do so.. 0 out of 5

Beware

Spoke to this attorney on the phone about a disability issue. Marc was very rude and seemed arrogant in my opinion. His website and video promises did not match his true personality. I was very disappointed.

HORRIBLE ATTORNEY

I had Marc a few years ago. I would not recommend as I felt more like a number. He didn't return phone calls and I had an overall horrible experience.

Car accident lawyer | Dec 23

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"The area of auto accident law is both extremely complicated and diverse. That is why when you are looking to hire a lawyer to help you win your auto case, you need somebody who specializes in this area of law. Marc Shefman is known statewide as one of the preeminent auto accident lawyers. He uses extremely aggressive cutting edge legal strategies to repeatedly win major verdict after major verdict. Marc's abilities in any type of personal injury related case make him at the top of a short list of expert plaintiffs lawyers. Personally, I've had many a client of mine use Marc with amazing results. Trust Marc, as he is the lawyer that lawyers trust with their loved ones."
