Marein & Bradley, LLC. - Cleveland, Ohio

I would like to take the time to share my experience with this law firm, and in particular Steve Bradley. Almost a decade ago, I caught a major drug offense case and hired another lawyer who claim "Damn right we fight". Well their lack of fight or in this case, lack of legal knowledge, ended up getting me a 12 year mandatory sentence. I appeared for a what I thought was a routine pretrial motion to suppress hearing to try to attack the arrest warrant. I had no idea that when that motion was shot down, my lawyer moved right to the sentencing. I was given everyday on the original indictment. Stunned at what just transpired, my attorney leans in and says least we got you thirty days to get your affairs in order. Fast forward to less than a week till I was set to turn myself in on the 12 years, I contacted Steve, who was recommended by a friend, about a appeal. I met with him at his office and he was upfront and honest about the fact I've had no grounds for an appeal. Devastated, I shrank in my chair, and was coming to grips with fact I was really about to be away from my kids and loved ones for a decade plus. Then he told me that there was an angle he had been waiting to use, and the right client and case to execute it on. He proceeded to tell me that if I had the money, he would try to get my plea withdrawn, and take it back to trial. He gave me a pricier quote then my last attorney. So I asked him since 10 thousand dollars got me 12 years, what will said amount get me. He said that he could knock my sentence in half or if all goes well, maybe even probation. I immediately hired him. Long story short, this man was able to get the prosecutor to drop the mandatory 11 years, which comes with a major felony 1 drug offense. That gave us the opportunity to negotiate a plea bargain for half of my original sentence or still take it to trail where he could guarantee one of two outcomes. Either serve the entire sentence or walk away with a F5 and be placed on probation. I never expected a walk because I was guilty of committing a crime, but not enough to deserve all that time. So I accepted the deal and served my sentence and am now off parole. I want to personally thank you for saving my life and giving me a chance to be a father to my boys. Very refreshing to know there is still honest and hard working lawyers out there who care and actually preform the job the say they will.

Hand's down the probably the best attorney in OH!! He's professional, thorough and has connections. Some of the things he's done legit baffles me and defies all logic. Like a straight up magician in the courtroom. His reputation speaks for itself and he speaks with you straight! I've done some things wrong in the past and also a lot right, but not only did he do his job representing me, but he cared enough to encourage me to get my life together and KEEP it that way! He's responsible for giving me a 2nd shot at life nearly 20 years ago and I'm forever indebted. I'll never forget him as my whole life would look different if not for him! It wasn't my first, 2nd or even third chance, but sometimes you only have ONE shot to get a LAST chance. He doesn't miss, and that last chance is the only one I've ever needed in life to change the rest of it forever. I'm beyond blessed and grateful that we crossed paths and that I had him on my side.

His prodigy son Michael is unbelievably impressive also and I know will have an equally successful career! If you need legal counsel, you get what you pay for, and although more than fair price, they are THE BEST!!! THANK YOU gentlemen for making such a monumental impact on my life and being a part of my story!

I used them and went to trial against Brunswick Hills Police and the Medina County Prosecutor Bob Campbell. After a 2 day trial, Bradley wiped the floor with them. 30 minute jury deliberation. Not guilty of ALL charges. Highly recommended.

Me & all my friends used Mark Marein in the past. He defended us from everything from drug crimes to assaults. His name rings bells in Cleveland. Although his rates have gone up since back then (rightfully so) he's worth every penny. You can't ask for a more aggressive lawyer than Mark & he DOES NOT make you feel like he's just going through the motions with you. I haven't used him in a LONG time so the fact that im writing this (18yrs later) shows how much he's revered in Cleveland.
