Do yourself a favor and schedule a consult

Marcus is a knowledgeable and supportive attorney who guided me through my legal process with care and expertise. If you are feeling unsure or overwhelmed about court or government matters, I highly recommend seeking his assistance. He was able to achieve a favorable outcome for me, saving me a signi...ficant amount of time and money. Marcus is well-versed in the Livingston county courts and officials, and he provides realistic expectations. He is honest, direct, and approachable. Having him on your side is truly beneficial. I contacted Marcus for legal assistance and I am very pleased with the results. He saved me a considerable amount of money and time. Marcus, I want to express my gratitude for your dedication and understanding. Your kindness during challenging times did not go unnoticed, and I am grateful for your support.

Criminal defense

Mr. Wilcox went over and above in my case and walked me through the steps. Having a clean record and never having been through the system before I had a lot of questions and concerns. Mr. Wilcox explained everything and laid out the plan and how the process worked. Livingston county is a tough good ...old boy system and they run a tight ship so you definitely need an attorney that can navigate you through that process and knows that specific system of judges and prosecutors. Mr. Wilcox is that attorney

Honest

I feel very privileged and honored to have been represented by Mr. Wilcox. I knew very little about anything that was going on with me at the time of my arrest for an OWI and I think that sometimes the criminal justice system can help by having a bird’s eye view of your situation that you just cannot... see past bc you are immersed in your own problems, and the probation that I underwent helped me quit drinking which is what I wanted to do. I don’t find many among my friends who take criminal charges like owis and duis seriously anymore and I always find myself crying in the back of a cop car bc it is a life changing experience.. and I couldn’t have handled my legal problems emotionally on my own especially being painted as an anti-myself kind of person but I think we might all feel that way when we get slapped with charges. But Marcus makes me feel comfortable and at ease and like he knows exactly everything that’s going on, so in case I don’t understand something or misunderstand something, I know that somebody I trust at least does. I really didn’t know he had been practicing for 19 years He might have mentioned it but it didn’t ring the bell that it should have at the time, but I think he’s probably dealt with lots of different kinds of people from lots of different walks of life, but I kind of like him so much that I want to keep him as just my own personal lawyer. He makes me want to learn about what it means to earn rights. I’m not a native born American citizen so that might be why things don’t make a lot of sense to me from the Internet to my life… but anyways it gave me a lot of hope to be under the jurisdiction of such knowledgeable and well meaning authority figures such as the ones in Livingston county that I was seen by. From my probation officer to my judge’s much appreciated leniency on my community service due to my being employed at the post office during Covid election year., I couldn’t be more thankful for the chance to show myself my true character if for nobody else.. I think every word I say is wrong honestly and it’s pretty debilitating being forced into making life choices that you don’t even understand and are paralyzed by the fear of saying the wrong thing. But a good lawyer like Marcus is a rarity I think personally.., and I’m just most glad that I could afford his services bc a 19 year long standing experience is not something that just anybody can come by easily. So I feel extremely fortunate. Like I’m one of the lucky ones. Good luck to anyone else going through serious things and I believe you.

Attentive

I've hired several attorneys over the past 15 years. Not one of them comes close to the service mark provides. When I call, he always answers or calls back minutes later. Most important, he remembers me, and my needs. I'm not just a dollar sign or a case number. Thank you mark for being there.
