When I paid top dollar for an attorney that specialized in dealing with the Wisconsin DNR and was then told by my attorney that "well it's the WIDNR and they are going to do what they want" I was devastated. Then I told John about it and he gladly picked it up and in due time he got the WIDNR to dismiss the cases…

Counsel Marchan is a great attorney who works on behalf of his clients relentlessly. He preps his clients properly to understand court proceedings. His strategies get the best possible results for his clients. I am an impartial certified Spanish interpreter and it is great to see an attorney who does such a great job.

Worst possible attorney . Presented 0% of my evidence. Put in the bare effort in representing me. He lacks ethics as a professional has no compassion. He wants to be paid for doing nothing. I would never recommend him to anyone.

I had John Marchan as a attorney for a case that started back in 2022. He was always straight forward and understanding. I was facing probation and/or possibly jail time. My case was dismissed thanks to him. Id recommend him to anyone and hire him again if needed.
