Outstanding attorney.

Posted by Charles B, March 2nd, 2013 Marcel took my case for a probation violation. Marcel gave me the best advice what to do and called me and was always available to answer my questions and concerns. Marcel really does care about his clients. I consider him a lot more than an attorney who helped me through a tough time. I consider him a friend for life, because he gave my life back to me. Marcel reassured me that everything would be ok. He said it with confidence and was right %100. He knows what he is doing in the courtroom and tells it how it is. He gave me a list of items that I needed to do to help myself and I followed them. Marcel told me that he won't sugar coat it for me. If I listen and do what he tells me to do, it will be ok. Don't worry !!! Marcel in my eyes saved my life and gave me a second chance. So now the rest of my life is up to me to stay sober and lead a healthy positive life. Thank you so, so much.

Found Marcel facing 2-20 years...7 months later, I am free.

Posted by Dana, July 30th, 2014 Following some negative experiences with public defenders in the Oakland County courts, I thoroughly researched who the best criminal defense attorneys were in my area, and found Marcel. At the time, I was facing 2-20 years for a multitude of charges following a drug problem which had gotten the best of me, and had pretty much lost hope of ever being able to get my life back on track. Retaining Marcel as my attorney was the start of a significant and positive direction in my life. He talked straight with me, and treated me as if I was the most important case he's ever had. I was only 20, and even my own family had all but resigned themselves from having anything to do with me after several years of hard drugs and bad decisions. The day of my sentencing he drove hours to get to the court (from another courthouse far away) after a severe ice storm. I got the distinct impression that Marcel takes his job very seriously, and no case is too big - or not worth fighting for. He was able to get me a reduced sentence including boot camp, despite having one of the toughest judges in Oakland County. 7 months later and I am out, in the best shape of my life physically, mentally, and spiritually, and on my way to be the productive member of society that I always hoped I could become. I shudder to think of the situation I would be in, had I not found Marcel. He was more than just an attorney, he believed in me.
