About Mark
Biography
After twelve years as an assistant prosecutor with the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office, the last seven years working as a Major Crimes Prosecutor, I left the office and went into private practice. I spent two years running my own firm, law Offices of Mark S. Bilkovic, and from 2006-2011, I worked at Fried Saperstein Abbatt in Southfield where I was the head of the criminal litagation section.
In May of 2011, I along with Deanna Kelley, Steven Vitale and Doraid Markus, formed the firm Kelley Bilkovic Markus Vitale. My firm concentrates primarily in the area of criminal defense and we practice throughout Michigan. Our firm has established an excellent representation as tough negotiators outside the courtroom and tenacious litigators in the courtroom. We offer free consultations and with over 70 years of combined experince, we can handle any criminal case that comes our way.
