Retail Fraud

I hired Mr. Marks for my case with retail fraud. I had two charges; one charge was much more than one account of retail fraud. While this was my first offense, I will extremely anxious and nervous the entire process. I made horrible choices, and Mr. Marks was able to get not one but both charges dism...issed in court. He eased my mind during the process and always answered my emails/texts. I would highly recommend him for your case. He will get the job done.

Best Attorney around!

Shaun has to be the best attorney serving the Genesee County area. I have used his services on a few occasions over the years, with great outcomes. He has always been professional, and to the point. Shaun is very responsive to calls and emails, making himself available to answer any and all of the qu...estions I had. He is one of the few attorneys who will actually call you back personally, and in a timely manner. When I was worried the worst was going to happen, he was able to set my mind at ease. If you are in need of a great attorney for criminal or traffic infractions, he should be your first call. Shaun is extremely efficient, knowledge, and well respected by the prosecutors and judges, in the area, exactly what you need in an attorney. Hopefully no more tickets for me, but if it happens, guess who I’m calling. Thank you Shaun!

Saved my life

I had ran a red light while drunk and smashed into a truck, flipping it over(somehow no one was injured). My blood work came back as super drunk. Although this was my first offense Shaun was able to get me off with 18 months probation, some fines and a madd class. Saved me from going to jail or pris...on. Forever grateful

What a Relief!

As someone who has never been in trouble with the law, I was so scared and a complete nervous wreck searching for an attorney. When I consulted with Shaun Marks, that was the first thing that set him apart from other attorneys. He put my mind at ease and I could tell he truly cared about helping me. ...I don't think I would've recieved that kind of dedication to my case from anyone else. I felt he was the right attorney to hire and after my case was dismissed, I was so thankful I chose him.

Knowledgeable Attorney

Mr Marks is so professional. He explained to me exactly what i was facing without sugar coating anything. But he also told me what I could do to improve my situation and my life. It will will require work on your part to get sober but if you can Mr. Marks can really help you in your legal situation! ...
