"I can not empathize enough how much Marcel helped us out of a seemingly hopeless situation. A simple call for help that turned into 3 felony charges for someone who had no criminal record and was facing several years in prison. We were up against 2 prosecutors that completely ignored us and refused to work with us on the charges in any way. Marcel did not let that get in his way and did not give up. Marcel knows the courts, he knows the judges and he knows the prosecutors. He got to the right people to got the charges reduced to misdemeanors and actually got them reprimanded for treating us the way they did and not working with us. His work behind the scenes was exemplary and he took a huge burden off our shoulders. He's passionate about his cases and and his clients and made us feel like we were the only ones. I highly recommend Marcel and the least you should do is give him a call and hear what he has to say about your situation."

"Marcel exceeded my expectations as a lawyer. After just our first phone call he went right to work. It is because of his fast forward movement that we were able to secure a win for my case. He did the unthinkable by getting me the most outstanding result I could have possibly wanted. He was very easy to talk to and always available when I had questions. It was my first time ever going to court but because of his professionalism I was put at ease. He was clear with his instructions and if you follow his directions you cannot go wrong. He was very knowledgeable and obviously very respected in the court room. He prepared me for the worst but provided me with the BEST outcome. I Highly recommend Marcel and have already given his information to family and friends in case they ever need his services. He is the best at what he does and I could not be happier with my result. Thank you."

"I originally went on google looking for a criminal defense attorney. Although each attorney I contacted responded promptly, I was not comfortable with them. Marcel was highly recommended by close friends and it was so easy working with him on my criminal manners. During our consultation, Marcel assured me that he would do his absolute best to get me the best outcome and he did! I witnessed an excellent outcome in both matters. I did not lose my driving privileges, which was a major concern for me due to Marcel and his team acting quickly on my charges. I also received a major reduction of the charges and a minimal probation sentence that is unheard of in light of the underlying facts of my case. We achieved a great reduction of the offense and a probationary sentence with a well crafted sentencing memorandum illustrating my personal and professional achievements. I’m grateful that things worked out very well and it was a pleasure working with him."
