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.

A Professional of Sound Moral Character

Marcus has been a resource of knowledge and advice for my family and I. His experience with the legal systems and laws is vast and his understanding accurate. He is very attentive, detail-oriented, and communicates very well. He has a thorough understanding of the order of actions and he let us kn...ow exactly what we could expect through the legal process. Marcus is a professional of sound moral character and I highly recommend as an attorney for any legal services.

Smart, Honest, and Tenacious

Marcus has helped us personally in preparing our wills and our medical directives, and I have every confidence in his abilities. We've had many discussions about the role of a defense attorney, and he understands that it's up to him to protect his clients from abuses of power. He understands th...at criminals have to face the consequences of their actions, but many times the situation isn't as black and white as it would seem. Sometimes those in power take advantage of their situation, and it's in these circumstances where Marcus' strengths really shine through. He understands the law, and knows the limits of the reach of prosecutors and law enforcement. When they cross the line, he holds them accountable and he educates his clients on how to best protect themselves now and in the future. Don't make the mistake of trying to handle it yourself, call Marcus first, and get his input. He'll be able to outline possible outcomes, and will act tirelessly to reach the best outcome possible for your unique situation.

Great lawyer

Well informed and to the point. Had him for my first case and was not disappointed. Helped me understand what he can do and what he couldn't do, not pushy and not over informative. Thanks Mark!
