Dep. Steven Lundquist, Former Oakland County Sheriff

Like most cops, I never thought I would need the help of a criminal defense attorney. When I was being investigated, I didn’t know who to call or how to choose an attorney. I was fortunate to get in touch with Marc Curtis through the FOP Legal Defense Plan and saw that he had successfully defended cops in situations like mine.

After my first phone call with Marc, I knew immediately that I was in good hands. Marc was professional and compassionate as he learned about my case and educated me on what to expect going forward. Throughout the entire process, I was able to call Marc directly to ask about my case, share concerns I had, or just to get some reassurance. Marc was very collaborative and encouraged me to participate as he developed a strategy for our defense. Marc thoroughly examined all the evidence and prepped his witnesses and by the time we went to trial, no stone was left unturned.

During the trial, Marc presented a masterful defense, quickly adapting to the prosecution and highlighting the flaws of their case. Because of Marc’s expertise and preparation, he was able to run circles around the prosecutor the entire trial. When the jury left to deliberate, they were only gone for nine minutes before returning a not guilty verdict, which is close to a record in the state of Michigan.

I’m confident that such an extremely positive outcome would not have been possible without Marc and his team. Marc’s support went beyond just the criminal trial. He offered to get me in contact with resources to help my family during this hardship and he made sure that my union was taking appropriate steps to handle my arbitration. Marc has unique experience dealing with law enforcement cases, which makes him one of the few lawyers that’s even qualified to defend a cop. And just as importantly, Marc cares deeply about police officers and defending the men and women who have dedicated themselves to the profession.

I highly recommend Marc Curtis and his team to anyone who needs a competent and passionate defense attorney.
