Robert Charles Marquette

Bob saved my life. In one day, I went from a normal citizen to facing 40 years of felony charges. No other attorney would even consider the possibility that I was innocent (and I was), let alone the possibility that I could beat the case. But Bob did. And he beat the case within 60 days. The judge an...d prosecutor all but apologized to me. There's nothing like the weight of criminal charges hanging over your head, and when you're in that situation you want to know that you have someone who is on your side, someone who will fight for you. I trusted Bob with my life, and it was the best decision I ever made. He never sugar-coated anything either. He always told me what the possibilities were and that I was up against a big battle. But if there were any way possible to beat the case, he promised me he would find it. And he did! Another thing, I felt like I was a priority, and not just another client in a mill. I could reach him any time of day or night, in multiple forms of communication. You won't find that with anyone else in town. He works multiple cases and still has the ability to make you feel like you're his only client. I could go on for days, but my point is simple: hire him and you won't regret it.

Robert Marquette represented me in a criminal case. I had one (1) meeting with him in his office, and two (2) outside on the courthouse lawn, in nearly two years; of which, I initiated and insisted on myself. During those meetings we never discussed my case; rather, the case of another client he was ...representing and felt sorry for--an 18 year old female stripper who was charged with infecting several men with HIV. He even wrote an article to the local newspaper in her defense. While in my case, court recessed for lunch, jurors and my family were outside the courthouse. In front of my family and jurors, Robert Marquette loudly called me a 'B***H'. Needless to say, my defense suffered greatly. Further, Robert Marquette 'purposely' filed a document untimely (late) causing the court to deny its admission into evidence. This document was asking the court to suppress evidence obtained by law enforcement through questioning after I exercised my right to be silent and have an attorney present. Because of this, the prosecution used the evidence to corroborate testimony from the prosecutions witness--also a client of Robert Marquette!!!! I was not afforded my right to due process when Robert Marquette made an untimely filing of a material fact. This is how he purposely and legally upsets one case to do favor for another--the 18 year old girl with HIV. In other words, Robert Marquette purposely caused a conviction in my case in order to gain leniency in the case of the 18 year old girls HIV case. While in prison, the 18 year old client told me all about it. Further, Robert Marquette visited the 18 year old in prison, brought clothing and such, and acted more like a 'sugardaddy' to the 18 year old, than an attorney, although I know attorneys do such things for their client's, I couldn't figure out how to be afforded the same representation/defense strategies. However, I never heard from him again. He has screwed so many client's over that he is relocated, doesn't have an email address, or a secretary. Odds are, people in the legal profession might value their reputations far more than he does. Not to mention, his office is located right in front of the 'Drug Task Force' office!!! What goes around, comes around!! Now, he is in a prison of his own...and the witnesses to his conduct are virtually endless!! The problem with public defenders is that 'no matter what 'strategy' they use in a defense, they get paid anyway,' and by the tax payer, who , again pays for the prison stays of those who lose. What is ethical about that? Always remember: just because a woman has a baby, gets training, takes parenting classes, etc. does not mean she will be capable of being a mother!! Just because a person goes to law school, gets training and becomes licensed to call themselves a lawyer, doesn't mean they will be capable of being a lawyer!! One thing for sure, they both know how to sign on the dotted line!!!!!!!! Case Closed. Next?

I hired this lawyer for my divorce...paid this lawyer for my divorce...my divorce happened but my decree was supposed to be amended per the judge on the case. It never was so in turn child support has never been what it should be and he would never call me back. He said it was the other attorneys f...ault but would never call the judge and tell him. SO, finally when he did send a letter to the judge to ask if we could come before him again, "BOB" decided it was time to charge me more money. Even though it was his fault to begin with.

Never hire this attorney. He does not have email, no secretary and does not return your phone calls. The guy also seems ill versed as far as family law goes. Sloppy, slow filing and service. Does not keep you in the loop and would talk with opposing counsel, without keeping you informed. I had h...ired this guy to register a foreign custody judgment and he botched it all up..horrible unprofessional experience. He is cheap, but then you get the kind of stuff that you pay for ! Stay away !
