Grabel & Associates

Grateful we called Scott Grabel. We cannot say enough how fortunate we were to have Scott Grabel handle our son's case. As parents miles away from our college student Scott Grabel guided us all through a very tremulous time with our son. The uncertainty a parent feels for their son's future is frightening. Mr. Grabel guided us every step of the way and kept us informed each and everyday. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Grabel. Outstanding, professional and committed to his clients. more

Cannot say enough about how great Mr. William Hackett of Grabel and Associates is! Was very impressed with his knowledge of the law and the best way to proceed with my son's case. He was successful in making sure that my son did not face life in prison. In fact, the charge that came down was only a misdemeanor! So grateful to Mr. Hackett!!! more

I was pulled over for window tint, happened to be transporting two pistols in the cab of my pickup with me (back was full of dirt/garbage) got charged with two felony counts CCW, spent a night in jail, and both of my pistols were confiscated. Hired Grabel Law the next day, and my dealings with both Mr. Dan Trudeau, and my assigned attorney, Mr. Robert Hackett, went pretty well. I was a little disappointed in the communication, but other than that, the results speak for themselves. Both felony counts were dropped, and I plead guilty to one count of possessing a switchblade, a relatively minor misdemeanor. Not only that, but I was also able to have one of my pistols returned! From what I understand, this almost never happens... I don't know how they do it, but these guys live up to their reputations. You can't go wrong with Grabel and Associates. more

10-24-2012\r I called Scott Grabel and associates for a DWLS 2nd offense charge. He was confident and said he could help me. He did just that! His associate Robert Hackett was very professional and got my charge reduced in order for me to pursue getting my driver’s license back. I am hiring them to do that as well. I would recommend Scott Grabel & associates to anybody. Scott personally called me back 2 times to talk me about my situation and both times it was 8:00 at night or later! He is a man of his word. His case manager Winnie Riche drove out of her way to come right to my house to get the paper work situated. I am really happy with the service they provided me with! \r 4-23-13\r I went to my DAAD hearing today and was very pleased with the out come. I was granted my a restricted license right then and there! The hearing officer was impressed that Marcie Ridley was very particular and made sure everything was complete and in order. Again, I can not stress how happy I am for hiring this law firm. They are the best! more

I was charged with Wreckless Driving (a criminal misdemeanor) near Grand Rapids, and I found Scott just by searching the internet. I called the hotline and Scott called back <10 minutes later. He seemed very knowledgable about my charge and about the judges and prosecutors in that area. I hired him and he handled everything. I didn't even have to show up for my arraignment and pre-trial, and Scott was very good about keeping me informed and calling me back and reassuring me that everything would be ok. Scott got me Careless Driving which is a civil infraction and 3 points on my driver's license. He was willing to take the case to trial but we both agreed it wasn't worth the risk, so I took the plea. I'm very satisfied with the outcome of my case, and I cannot say enough about what a great experience it was to have Scott as my attorney. He was very conscientious and kept me informed about everything that was going on. We met once in person and probably talked on the phone about 15 times. This was very comforting as I was really terrified to be facing a criminal charge! Thank you Scott! more

Scott Grabel guaranteed the best outcome and that is just what he delivered. He works hard for his clients and is always available to talk or assist. He is a caring representative who takes his job seriously and constantly strives to maintain his brilliant reputation. I am truly grateful for his representation as he saved me from dire consequences. Like all the others before me have stated, I truly recommend Scott Grabel & Associates. more

I could not even dare to imagine what would happen without the help from Scott Grabel. When I first contact him, I just came back from the police station. Scared and hopeless, I dialed the number of Scott with my hands which still have two red bar after being handcuffs for hours. It is nearly 10 p.m. and Scott call me back immediately. I met with him on the next day's morning. He told me that he is confident of making my case dismissed. Honestly speaking, I do not believe it at that time because the policemen tell me that my case is extremely serious. During the days before I went to court, I keep contact with Scott everyday. Whenever I contact him, he will call me back within one minute. He never charge me even one extra cent for such help. He came with me to talk with judge. Also the judge seems impatient, Scott try his best to persuade him dismiss my case. Finally, after the talking for an hour, the judge dismiss my case. It is a miracle! I could not even have a chance without Scott's help. I could not even dare to imagine what would happen to my future, such as job hunting, if the judge think I am guilty. Scott saved my life and my future. I highly recommend Scott Grabel & Associates to everyone who need help! more

I tried to save money and do 2 dlad hearings myself. This was a great mistake. Each time I was denied the hearing officers opinion of me as lacking credibility despite having ironclad proof of sobriety. After the second hearing I knew I had to have an attorney. I called Mr Grabel and he immediately returned my call within 10 minutes. He assigned marcie his associate attorney for dlad hearings.. We compiled all of the evidence together making sure all of the t""s were crossed and the i's dotted. The hearing went well but the hearing officer denied me again. Scott and Marcie were furious and immediatly appealed to circuit court. At the court hearing the secretary of state tore me apart and marcie gave the argument on why the dlad was wrong. Fighting for my rights. After review from the judge and marcie's arguments the judge ruled in my favor. Full driving priveliges. No breathalizer and no restrictions. I could have not done this on my own as the dlad was intent on not giving my drivers license back. My advice to anyone appealing a revocation of their drivers license I strongly recommend grabel and associates. Their fee is the best in town for all they will do for your case. Best investment I made to get my life back. Scott is the most likeable attorney I have ever met. Marcie is the most convincing attorney I ever heard present an argument in court. The attorneys in this law firm all work together for one cause and that is a favorable outcome at any cost. for your legal problem. Michael F more

I googled for a criminal attorney online, and found Scott and his team. I was accused of something that I did not do. Scott reviewed my situation, I hired him. I NEVER got charged. If it wasn't for his experience, I would have gotten railroaded based on lies. I recommend Scott above all attorneys in the State of Michigan. He basically became my friend while he worked on my case, UNTIL THE JOB GOT DONE! Thanks, Scott! more

I 'bumped' into Scott Grabel a while ago through an ad in the yellow pages which led me to his website. I was being threatened by a group of criminals who were running an extortion scam. After enduring one week of living hell I called Mr. Grabel's office at 9:30 at night. After speaking to an associate I received a personal call back from Mr. Grabel at 10:00pm. He assessed my situation and immediately initiated an investigation of the matter. Within a little more than 2 days the matter was clarified and the crooks were on the run. I cannot speak highly enough about Scott Grabel's competence, knowledge, tenacity, and total fearlessness. During this period Mr. Grabel personally updated me several times regarding the progress of the case. Even though I requested to be billed for his time and effort he would not accept a dime. I highly recommend Scott Grabel and Associates to anyone who needs help. more

Best lawyer i have ever had.fast, aggressive, was on top of everything, replyed back fast on phone calls ,and best of all the resaults charges never filed more

I?m going to try and make this as brief as possible, and hit all the important spots. When it comes down to a situation involving you or a loved one?s freedom the stakes are obviously high. It?s very easy for an outsider or stranger to take a case and go through the motions as long as they receive some cash at the end of the day, so you can undoubtedly see how hard finding a good attorney can be. I?ve been through the system once, when I was 19, got sentenced to a year, one month of which was executed time, for a first offense. At that time I didn?t have any money, but my parents paid for a supposed high calibur, and some-what expensive attorney. Let?s just say you don?t ALWAYS get what you pay for people. But I can tell you undoubtedly, you do want Scott Grabel whether he is under or over your pay range. When it comes to times like these, money isn?t a factor and your freedom is, and Scott will make sure he does everything for you to retain that freedom. Scott is constantly working, reassuring, and will receive phone calls WAY more than any normal attorney, free of charge. Also, if you?ve been through the system before you know it can be VERY time consuming and stressful. Mister Grabel makes sure to get things moving as quickly as possible taking the reins and putting less pressure on you. I was looking at a 5-10 year felony charge which I was not guilty of. Scott rendered me of the situation with haste consulting me to take a polygraph test, that immediately proved my innocence and the case was dismissed. Look, if you?re reading this you?ve got a problem, guilty or not, and I know your pain. Do yourself a favor and give Scott Grabel & Associates a call. If I hit the lottery tomorrow and have all the money in the world, and happen to get in trouble with the law again, I?m picking up my cell phone and calling Scott Grabel without hesitation. Plain and simple Scott Grabel is in a class of his own. more

I can't recommend Scott Grabel & Associates enough. You know the kind of lawyer that cares about you, fights for your justice, and while doing both makes it affordable and convenient for you? .......Wait...you didn't know they existed? Well you're in luck. Scott Grabel is one of a kind. If you believe in God sets a path for us, I assure you, Scott Grabel was put on this Earth to defend people. And if you believe in Science? Scott is the nearly flawless product of the Lawyer's Chain of Evolution. I had never been in trouble with the law before going through a tragic incident that involved me losing a good friend of mine. I later found that I had been slapped (originally) with a 5 to 10 year Felony charge. As you can guess I was a bit anxious considering I've never even gotten a traffic ticket. I talked to NUMEROUS attornies of all costs (money was not an issue when considering my freedoms) and instantly, I knew Mr. Grabel was the lawyer for me. Scott quickly started hearing my story and outlining outcomes before I had even paid him a dime. I could tell Mr. Grabel sincerely wanted the best for me, he had given me great advice and somewhat peace of mind (a luxury when going through the court system) without me paying him a dollar yet. Going through the Judicial System is always a nerve wracking process, but I was comfortable throughout it knowing that Scott was looking out for me. He kept me notified on a consistent basis and was always two steps ahead of the game. He reassured me with different ways that we could approach the case and always gave me the confidence that my innocence would be proven. I had 100 percent belief that Mr. Grabel was doing everything he could to assist me, and that he had the knowledge to do so as well, it helped me sleep much better at night. I even tried to give Mr. Grabel more money than what we had agreed on because of his extensively long driving distance to my County Court House and that I was so pleased with his work. HE SWIFTLY DECLINED....... I Insisted....... He declined AGAIN. Scott Grabel is the definition of a ""Stand Up Guy."" He talks the talk enough to make you confident, but high calibur results will leave you speechless. This man was strictly there to help me, was a great lawyer, friend, advisor, honestly a guardian angel. Scott defended me like I was one of his own. I can't be more happy with my results (Charge Dismissed from my record entirely). I do have some community service to attend to and some speeches to give, but I do so happily and appreciatively. Thank you so much Scott! If you're still reading this, you're wasting time, you should have already called Scott. No matter your situation or charge, I can confidently recommend Scott Grabel as your best choice for attorney. more

When I met with the law firm of Scott Grabel I was given an honest assessment of my case. They were correct on the outcome ""case dismissed."" Scott Grabel team is an excellent, aggressive, experienced, law firm who fought for my rights. more

My name is Dan Charlong and I lost my License eight years ago and have been trying to get it back ever since. I've since moved from Michigan to Minnesota. Three different attorneys have tried to help and I always got back a letter three years in a row that said I failed to meet minimum requirements to get it back. I was getting annoyed with all of the turn downs and was going to just give up. The bad thing about giving up is, I don't get to drive. I decided to try one more time and I found two attorneys from Michigan. The first attorney told me I HAD to come to Michigan to get it back because they would just deny me if I did it through the mail. The second (Scott Grabel), told me not to worry about it, it was a guarentee that I would get it back after he heard my situation. It took a little planning and hardly any work on my end to get the proper paperwork that they needed. I mailed it all out and I was completely comfortable waiting (after 8 years you become patient) for the results. I never had a single doubt that they would get the job done and BOOM, I got the phone call. I am reinstated in Michigan and I can finally live my life with my family in Minnesota. DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!! These people know exactly what they are doing and will help you. Take if from someone who tried to shortcut it three different times and go with attorneys who didn't know what they were talking about. Scott isn't about the money, he'l even work with you on that. He likes helping people get back on the road and get on with their lives. Dan Charlong 3-1-2012 more

Before I contacted Grabel and Associates I was at the end of my rope. I'd been jerked around by the legal system for years with no hope of ever seeing resolution. I'd spoken with other attorneys that said what I wanted was impossible, and that pursuing it would only waste their time and mine. When I left a message for Mr. Grabel I was staggered to receive a return call with lightening speed. Spending ten minutes on the phone with him had accomplished more than every meeting with every other attorney I'd seen up to that point. By the end of our first discussion he had a clear plan and course of action. I was never out of the loop when I was working with Scott, I was always apprised and aware of any changes, and all forward progress. There was a major revision of the laws that affected my particular situation, and Mr. Grabel had comprehended all relevant changes and how it would change my case. He was writing petitions before the State even had the forms they needed. When my day in court finally came Mr. Grabel argued my case, got the results we wanted, and instead of breezing out to his car a happy man, he spent the time to talk with me about what this meant for my future, and his personal reflections on how the day at court had gone. I'll be perfectly honest I don't recall all of it, I was over the moon that my long struggle was finally at an end. When we finally left the court Mr. Grabel walked us to our car, something no attorney had ever done before. It's my sincere hope that anyone in a situation like mine will be able to work with Grabel and Associates, I could write thousands of words further but there are only three that matter. Grabel gets results. more

Scott Grabel will be your new best friend, I promise!! After retaining another attorney (Anothony Valentine) we never heard from him again until the court date that he was late for. Mr. Valentine did zero homework on the case and the judge handed out the maximum sentence to my fiance which was 365 days. I started looking for another attorney online and emailing our case to different lawyers. The very same day which was Fathers Day, I got a call from Scott. I was shocked by the time he took to talk to me about the case, most lawyers would say come pay me then we will talk. After being told by just about everyone that there was no point in trying to fight the sentence, we with the up most faith in Scott went ahead and retained him and set a court date to try and reduce his sentence. The sad thing is that Scott had already done 10 times more than our past lawyer before we even retained him. Scott was amazing at keeping us updated with everything he was doing, any new information he found out and he always picked up his phone. The difference between Scott and any other lawyer you might be thinking about is he really does care about your case. If you think your saving yourself money by going with a cheap lawyer your not, cause after he runs off with your money, then you will go to a pro like Scott. We were the first people to ever try to ask for a reduction or change in a case like my fiances. He had absconded from drug court 3 years prior and came and turned himself in with the other lawyer and was given the year. We were told even by the probation officers that no one does anything less than a year. Since we had just had our first baby it was horrible that he couldnt hold his own daughter so we were hoping for anything that would make that possible. Scott went to court and blew us all away. He really knew what he was talking about a fought hard for us. The judge after telling us that my fiance was the FIRST person she has ever reduced/changed their sentence in a sobriety court case granted him to be able to finish his last 3 months in a halfway house. We were SO SO happy, he would finally be able to hold his daughter for the first time. Plus being able to live in a home with real food, a real bed, fresh air was way way better then being in jail. But Scott didnt stop after court, he immediately was makin calls to find out everything that needed to be done to get my fiance in the halfway house as quick as possible. Scott wasnt kidding after court when he said ""Now Im not gonna ride off into the sunset, if you need me call me."" He is just amazing and I wish there were more lawyers like him. But THERE IS NOT, so if your looking for a lawyer to care about your case as much as you do and really fight for you there is no one else you should call. He is worth every penny and more! more

I cannot begin to express how fortunate I am to have had Scott Grabel & Associates represent me in my legal matter. The firm, which immediately responded to my phone call, was very sympathetic to my problem and was a very calming influence. They assured me numerous times that everything would turn out fine, which it did. All the lawyers at the firm are calm, dignified and have a profound knowledge of the law. They think outside of the box and are very ingenious when it comes to figuring out solutions. They are very professional. The world would be a much better place if more people were like Scott Grabel & Associates. I could not have been happier with them. I highly recommend them! more

For those of you who believe lawyers have no place in Heaven, you should meet Scott Grabel. He is an exception to the rule! I was assigned a Public Defender who never knew or called me by my name and instead of defending me, he was preparing me to face a twenty year sentence. It did not matter to him that I was innocent of all but one minor offense. Mr. Grabel offered to take over my case because he had prior knowledge of my involvement with a case he had just won with a full dismissal. I was sentenced to probation within a few hours & released to return to my home in Florida. SCOTT GRABEL is a hero to the rich and the poor who fall victim to the Judicial System. He is trustworthy, straight forward and very dependable. As an attorney, he is the best of the best; ethical,well mannered, concerned about clients & their families and he is an expert in winning the best possible outcome for ALL his cases. He is a fierce defender for truth and justice for all. Thank you Scott for saving me Berenda Beckham Wauchula, Florida more
