AMAZING

Marshall is the best lawyer I've ever meet. He has a deep understanding of not only the legal sphere, but also the complex negotiations required to be successful. He cares deeply about you as a client and gives confidence that an outcome will fought for to the very end. I wouldn't look further; Marsh...all is the attorney you need regardless of your situation. My review won't do him justice, he is the best attorney I've ever met.

Earned Trust...

Marshall represented me with the professionalism and integrity only the most experienced attorney could provide. Experience not only in the law but in personal connection as well. There is a difference in being a good lawyer and a great lawyer. Marshall is an example of what a great lawyer is suppose...d to be. His deep understanding of the law in conjunction with having a talent for building a personal, yet professional, relationship with his client is second to none. By successfully demonstrating both these talents he was able to attain a most favorable outcome in my case. As we all know, trust is earned, not given. Marshall earned my trust. I encourage you to allow him to earn yours as well. You'll be glad you did.

Phenomenal Lawyer!

I was charged with an offense and needed representation. I began interviewing several lawyers. I went through quite a few lawyers that didn't seem to have any empathy or even want to take my case. I eventually came across Marshall during his free consultation. Marshall has a very deep understanding o...f the law and provided excellent legal advice. He took my case and was able to work with the prosecutor and eventually get my case dismissed. I appreciate Marshall's customer service. He was always there to either promptly answer or return my calls when I had any concerns and was very informative throughout the entire process. All his hard work eventually helped me get of this difficult situation. If you are looking for a great lawyer with all the best attributes to help you with your case I would strongly recommend you go with Marshall as your first choice since he is the best of the best!

Highly Recommended

Being charged with a sex offense in a position of trust, I wanted the very best representation. After much research and meetings with several Colorado attorney's I decided on Mr Breit. His expertise and passion shows in every aspect of his representation. He is there to provide excellent representati...on in court but is also there to support you with frequent updates, phone calls, personal meetings, etc...He is proactive and has and knows the resources that are needed for your case. He not only cares about your case, he cares about you as a person. He has a high level of understanding how emotionally and mentally taxing a case of this nature is for his client. I highly recommend Mr Breit if you are facing similar charges.

I call What he does "Marshall Magic"

I retained Marshall Breit for defense of what seemed to be a hopeless case- I was out of hope for successful resolution, to be more specific- but Marshall was never was. And his confidence and optimism gave me strength and hope. In the end his confidence, optimism and determination proved true.... He was right. He proved my hopelessness for my future wrong and with no exaggeration, I'll share Marshall SAVED MY LIFE. My own opinion. Certainly he preserved my reputation and my future as a contributing and reputable member of society. I call what he does, what he accomplished on my behalf, and HOW he does what he does, "Marshall Magic." As an attorney, I've never worked with a professional who's more knowledgeable about Colorado law, Colorado case law, or more networked across the legal community-on both sides of the fence: with other defense attorneys, with bench judges or the DA's offices, in all Denver-area counties and jurisdictions- than he or his office. Nor have I EVER met or worked with an attorney that I felt was more PERSONALLY invested in ME or my defense. Cutting to the chase, Marshall indeed did drive my case to (successful) resolution that I truly believed was impossibly out of reach. More than that, throughout the process he emotionally supported me through hopelessly dark times. “Marshall Magic” again. He has the supportive manner of the most-considerate and caring physicians who encourage terminal patients to never give up hope, and who give strength to those patients to fight through recovery and heal and beat their illnesses. Marshall does research like no other attorney I've ever worked with or have seen at work to find and exploit the most intricate details of the law applicable to a case, vet the insights he garners and possible angles and strategies he's considering with his peers. Moreover, he works tirelessly and strategically with prosecuting attorneys to communicate these intricacies to the prosecution and to negotiate a best-possible outcome for his clients. Through the evolution of my lengthy case and the prosecution's activities and actions to convict me and levy punitive convictions and consequences, Marshall was my only source of strength and hope. He became much more than a light in my dark times, he became a FRIEND. He truly was my champion, and ultimately, I say again, in my opinion he saved my life by resolving a seemingly unwinnable case to successful settlement, and in doing so he preserved my reputation, my freedom, and my future. In my honest opinion there's no more-qualified defense counsel in the Denver area, no other that will invest every effort and exhaust and exploit every wrinkle of the law or negotiate more successfully with prosecuting attorneys or the state to wrestle your case and situation to a best end. If you're looking for the best-possible defense for what you feel is a hopeless situation, there's no need to look any further than MulliganBreit. Call and retain Marshall for your defense. Do it YESTERDAY.
