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.

We retained Marcel Benavides to represent the family in a suit involving the inhumane, wrongful death of my brother four years ago. This is the absolute best decision we ever could have made. Marcel was passionate and diligent about the case. He took it more seriously than anyone ever could have, and he handled the case as if it were his own family member that died. He expended all his resources and energies to ensure that he worked the case down to the minutest of details. Not only did Marcel thoroughly work this case, but Marcel exhibited empathy and compassion to our family. He was very patient with us throughout the whole process and kept us informed every step of the way. Marcel thoroughly worked the case and fought valiantly for our family. As a result, Marcel achieved one of the highest settlements in the Western District of Michigan. We are thankful to Marcel for all that he has done and all that he will continue to do for families faced with a similar situation. If you are looking for an attorney to represent you in such matters or anything for that matter, you must call Marcel. We assure you that you will not be disappointed. Marcel will work hard for you, keep you informed, and get the justice your family deserves.

My Son picked up several felony charges & we knew we had to get someone to represent him who would give it their best shot, After talking to a few attorneys things still looked hopeless, A Family friend referred us to Marcel & honestly I’m so thankful for that referral! He was straight forward from day one, he made no false promises, he gave us his word that he would do his best to get the best outcome & he did just that, he did an outstanding job, the end result was much better than we expected it to be. When I left that courtroom I cried tears of joy. Whenever I would call marcel if he was unavailable he would always reach back out to me in a timely fashion, he would also keep us informed on whats next, Marcel is very honest, Professional & he take his job very serious, his demeanor is calm & he shows Confidence even when he’s up against a big task. Marcel is an awesome attorney & I will most definitely use him again

When I got charged with a felony I was a wreck. I went from someone who never got into trouble to facing years in prison. I knew I would need a lawyer on my side that would fight for my best interests. Marcel stood by my side every step of the way to ensure that everything that could possibly be done would in order to ensure my freedom. Marcel got my entire charge dismissed. He is a lawyer that not only takes pride in his job but also takes pride in the people he helps. With so much at stake, you need to find the best lawyer possible. That is Marcel. He will fight for you tooth and nail.
