I hired Scott Grabel to defend me against false accusations of criminal sexual conduct 4th degree. From the very beginning Scott promptly responded to my website case information submission and was extremely proactive and attentive to the case. If I had not hired Scott and had his proactive handling ...of the case, to avoid being charged for these false accusations, it would have been detrimental to my family and career. Scott felt like a family member going to bat for you and the passion he has for defending you cannot he equaled. I am a very picky person and I can not express enough how grateful I am to have had him in my corner to make sure I received the best possible defense a person can get. The allegations caused the greatest amount of fear, stress and anxiety I have ever been through but Scott alleviated much of that due the level of confidence he inspires. I could never thank Scott enough!!

Highly recommended lawyer! Mr. Grabel is very professional and knowledgable. My case happened suddenly on Saturday, but Mr. Grabel is 24/7 on call, which was what I needed. I called on Saturday night and the front desk told me I would hear back from the lawyer shortly. Only 30mins later, I got a call... from Mr. Grabel himself and he eased my anxiety quickly by explaining the situation and options I had. I knew I was in good hands. What impressed me most was he is very familiar with the needs of international students and suggested the most proactive plan to my case. We met the next day morning and had a detailed conversation on my case. Mr. Grabel started handling everything immediately after the conversation was over and I received feedback from him for every step he took. Luckily, a few hours later, he found out my case was a ''false alarm", there was no charge nor tickets issued at all. Mr. Grabel was so kind enough to offer a full refund to me though we signed a non-refundable contract.The whole experience was so pleasant and reassuring, I would highly recommend Mr. Scott Grabel, especially to international students!!!

In December of 2016 I had called the police to my home as a victim of a crime and instead was arrested for OWI and transported to jail in my nightclothes while bleeding profusely. This was both a shocking and terrifying experience. In my 45 years, I had never been in trouble with the law and was un...der the belief that law enforcement was there to help. It was a rude awakening. I was released on bail after about 4 hours and both humiliated and afraid, I began combing the internet to learn about OWI laws in Michigan and what I was facing. I had personal issues in my life that had created a sort of tipping point and under immense pressure I had made some errors in judgement. I didn’t know where to start and how to go about dealing with this pending charge. Later that night, close to midnight on a Saturday, I found Grabel & Associates’ website and began reading the information compiled there. There was a 24 hour toll free number published and I decided to call. My call was answered promptly by an answering service and I was told I would be receiving a call back from an attorney. I was surprised and pleased when Scott Grabel called me back immediately. What struck me right away was Scott’s no-nonsense approach to this initial call. I was hysterical and he pointed that out and told me to calm down so he could ascertain the facts, though he was not dismissive or disrespectful. Quite the opposite. I could tell initially, that he knew what he was talking about and that he cared about my situation and wanted to help. After a 20 or 30 minute consultation he said he would call me back the next morning which he did. After hiring Grabel & Associates, Renee Wagenaar was assigned as my attorney, though Scott stayed involved and was a reassuring force throughout the ordeal. In addition to guiding me through the process he gave solid legal and sound life advice that helped tremendously. As a result of this incident, I was able to examine some things in my life that needed attention and it helped to have an understanding and empathetic legal team behind me. Scott and Renee were supportive of going to trial and came up with a solid strategy for doing so. Both he and Renee advised me that my case was winnable as I wasn’t actually guilty of the charge against me though I had incriminated myself to the police. Initially I wanted to go to trial but changed my mind when I weighed the risks. My charge was plead down and resolved with fines and costs only, no probation or other difficult impositions. The Judge went against the State’s request for probation and agreed with Renee, stating he suspected this was a one time thing. My case was resolved yesterday to my satisfaction and I am able to put this behind me and move on with my life. I am happy with my result and f I would highly recommend Scott Grabel, Renee Wagenaar and Grabel & Associates if you ever find yourself on the wrong side of the law. It is my intention to never be in a position again where I am in need of a criminal defense attorney but if that day ever came, I would call Grabel & Associates without hesitation.
