Blake Spale charged me $3500 for a misdemeanor case. On the second court date, yes you read that right, the second court date, I came to court and he allowed the DA to blindside me with a trial that day. We were not ready, had not received discovery, nor a chance to produce any witnesses. So much for due process at Shotwell Law Group! Just before being taking to the holding cell, I asked the deputy to petition the court for a "trial de novo", legally vacating the conviction and sentence. Be very very careful with Blake Spale, he can come off as outgoing and trustworthy but he's a true snake in the grass. These charges related to a case where I was actually the victim of physical and civil harm. The alleged witness in the case ADMITTED on the stand the racially harassing me. In November I emailed Blake asking him to produce an affidavit swearing that he was a witness to that testimony. Attached is the email he responded with. After he got his balance of $3000, he of course disappeared like a ghost in the wind! p.s. I originally had wrote a review but not nearly as detailed but he saw me in person and pressured me to remove the review. Also, he claims to have motioned for a continuance in the case but feel free to check my eCourt file, there is no such motion.

I did my research and I found that he, as well as his law firm, were the most highly rated attorney/law firm equipped to handle my charges. He showed up at my arraignment on 23 NOV 2023. I was immediately pleased with how professional and personal he was. Additionally, I was impressed by the fact that the other lawyers seemed to know who he was and wanted to either speak with him or shake his hand. The arraignment went quickly. He shot me to the top of the line and I was out of there in less than 20 minutes. My next court date didn't happen until 13 MAY 2024. During this time he listed what documentation could be helpful to facilitate resolution. I obtained the documentation he requested and at our 13 MAY 2024 court date I was informed that the charges may be dismissed. On 31 MAY 2024, I was informed that all charges were in fact dismissed. Mr. Marcilliat was a seasoned, well weathered professional that speaks to his clients with respect and dignity. I could not recommend him more. Additionally, I would be remiss if I did not mention the professionalisms of his paralegal Muriel D. Kimbrough. Mrs. Kimbrough was very polite, patient and courteous. She promptly returned emails, as well as phone calls. She proved herself to be knowledgeable on many aspects of the law and I can honestly say she made the entire experience very pleasant. Thank you, Mr. Marcilliat. And, thank you Mrs. Kimbrough. I will always be very thankful for everything you have done for me, and of course, I will recommend you to anyone needing top notch legal assistance.

Sam MacRae Law Firm litigated my case, as the plaintiff, to exceed all expectations on every spectrum. In the end, I strongly value Sam's pure honesty and personal communication. In over a year and a half of litigation, Sam was the only point of contact between the law firm and I, which I considered, very unique. Throughout the process, every step was thoroughly described to me, options clearly vetted and advice thoughtfully presented. Everyday I wish the accident never took place but thankful to have Sam to represent me. This was my first and hopefully last experience with civil litigation but life is never clearly drawn out and if a need ever presented itself, Sam is my go to attorney and will always be a friend to me. Thank you!
