Criminal Defense 80%

I've fought for hundreds of people accused of serious offenses ranging from quarter-billion-dollar frauds, to distributing thousands of pounds of drugs, to attempted murder.

80%
Civil Rights 20%

My experience litigating against government overreach in criminal cases has translated to immense success in taking civil rights cases to trial when law enforcement hurts people and tramples on their rights.

I highly recommend,Marcus is an amazing attorney,he responds fast and he keeps you updated about your case.

I am very thankful for his help and I am referring him to all my friends and family, he is great to work with he explained everything in detail and he made the case dismissed in the right way. Everything was taken care off from A-to-Z. Highly recommend. I had a huge federal criminal case all what... i can say that all my charges were been dropped . He is very reliable I get great results from them and he makes it extremely convenient for me to continue with my work and life and personal life as well he works hard for me I’ll ask him for everything I need in the future. My case turned out better than I could have hoped for and also I would like to thank my friend who recommended him to me. His office is in San Diego but my case was in the federal building in LA and I think he covers most of the areas as well.

Excellent Attorney

An Excellent Attorney, very knowledgeable and capable professional. From the time he started representing me, he kept my best interests in mind when dealing with the prosecution, He did the proper research to undo 99 percent of the charges. Very straight forward and honest person.

Excellent service

I could not ask for a better team than Mr. Bourassa and Mr. Scott. From the first moment we were very comfortable with them personally as well as the office staff. My family required their services urgently and Mr. Bourassa acted efficiently and with care. I know the expertise of Mr. Bourassa and his... actions ultimately led to the best outcome we could have expected. I trust this team and would 100% recommend to any person seeking a criminal defense attorney.

Best Lawyer in San Diego

Marcus is the prime example of what everyone looks for in a lawyer. I was very blessed to have worked with Marcus and the Tim Scott firm. Marcus strives in his passion of law. He fought for me and my best interest from day one. I could not give him a better review. He is passionate and dedicated to... his job and his concern for fairness and commitment to his clients is unrivaled. I still have no idea how he dedicated so much time to my family and I throughout the entire process. What appeared like a life altering situation with potential years in prison turned out to be no time except for something I needed all along. I owe my well being to Marcus, my family and I are forever grateful.
