Mark A. Satawa's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mark is a phenomenal trial attorney."
"I am an appellate lawyer. I work with Mark on many of his appeals. He is passionate, organize, committed, and has an excellent command of facts and stays on top of legal developments. I've also read several of his transcripts. At the trial level he is very thorough. I would rather have a root canal than be in the witness box being cross examined by him."
"Very sharp attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mark Satawa is an excellent experienced criminal defense trial attorney who specializes in representing clients accused of felony and misdemeanor offense in State and Federal courts. If you, or someone you know, needs aggressive, dedicated and expert criminal defense attorneys in Michigan do not hesitate to contact Mr. Satawa and his law firm."
"Mark is a tireless fighter who has earned a stellar reputation over the years, building that reputation one case at a time. I have known him for many years, and he is easily one of the best criminal defense lawyers in Michigan."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Mark for 6 years and he is one of the leaders in the field of criminal defense in Michigan. He worked with me at the criminal defense attorneys of Michigan trial practice college to help me develop valuable trial skills and techniques. You will be in good hands if you hire Mark for your criminal defense."
"Mark is an incredible lawyer. We worked together on a particular homicide case and I have never seen a more dedicated hard working lawyer. He will stop at nothing to try to gain advantage for his client while always acting ethically and respectfully. If He takes your case it will be for one reason — he wants to win! Because of this attitude and dedication, Mark has earned a reputation as one of Michigan’s top trial lawyers. I highly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
