Mr. Marc Shiner helped me at a time in my life where I essentially sure what the outcome would be. From the second I first consulted him I knew his expertise and passion for justice was what I needed. The case ended in a no file and it’s all due to Mr.Shiner being committed to my case and seeing me regain my life back. THANKYOU Mr.Shiner and your whole legal team!! Don’t take any chances, let Marc Siner defend you today!!

Short version: They wildly exceeded my expectations. Outstanding job. All charges dropped. Long version: Got arrested on a small infraction that could have easily blown up into something big if my case was not handled with the proper care. Opened up Google and started searching for a defense attorney. Narrowed it down to three different firms, took the weekend to ponder who to retain. Here's why I decided to go with PSM&W: 1) My attorney friend (who, unfortunately for me, is an immigration lawyer, not a defense lawyer) had heard of Marc Shiner. Clearly Mark has a reputation for being a heavy-hitting defense lawyer if my buddy, who lives 45 miles away and practices a different type of law, has heard of him. 2) Through my initial conversations with Marc, it was clear he knew the judge and all the local prosecutors very well, knew them by first and last name, their personalities, etc. This is key. The law is black and white, but when you're in legal trouble, you need a lawyer who knows the people on the other side of your case. So, despite another local attorney offering to represent me at an extremely low price, I retained Marc Shiner from Perlet, Shiner, Melchiorre & Walsh. Turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Marc immediately gave me a list of things to do. Things that would help me look good when it came time to present my case to the prosecutor. This turned out to be important when the court date came around, plus it put my mind at ease by giving me something to focus on. Another thing - Marc did a great job of making himself available for phone calls during the time leading up to my court date. I've heard stories of lawyers turning on the charm in the initial interactions in order to get your business, then basically abandoning you once the check is in their hands. I was a bundle of nerves in the first few weeks after my arrest. I probably called Marc's office more than I needed to. Marc was gracious enough to have a few quick pep talks with me, and when he wasn't available, his paralegal Merchi Fernandez (who was very helpful and sweet btw), was kind enough to take my call. In summary, Marc did a fantastic job. If you're in legal trouble in Palm Beach County, don't take any chances on less-reputable firms who may offer to represent you at a cheaper price. Get an attorney who not only knows the law, but knows the legal system and the people in it as well.

I started out with a felony battery charge, which could yield up to 5 years in prison. After Marc performed the proper due diligence, he was able to negotiate the charge down to a withhold(less than a misdemeanor). I went from facing up to 5 years in prison to literally walking away scott free. I can't thank you enough Marc.

Nothing short of remarkable. Performed a miracle for me in drug case. If you value your freedom you need Marc on you side. You will not find a better criminal attorney!

Mr. Shiner went to trial on a home invasion and firearm case for my family. When the not guilty verdict was read we knew we had our life back.

Marc Shiner and his dedicated staff of paralegals, and lawyers saved my sons life. Mr. Shiner saved my son from being convicted of murder and the death penalty. I know other people who have used this firm, and they are blessed to know Mr. Shiner.

Mr.Shiner not only worked hard to help me get through the scenario I was in, but truly cared about my well being. He advised in the best course of action and gave mutiple ways to go about getting the results. He used his connections and his intelligence to get the job done right. He was fair and understanding. Most importantly he earned my trust because of his work ethic. He wanted to win, not for himself but because he knew it was right. Marc Shiner is a good man but an even better Lawyer.
