Not only is Marlin an outstanding criminal defense attorney, but he is also well-respected and admired in the Orange County courts, has a larger-than-life personality, and has an unusually big heart! My son is intellectually disabled. As a result my son got into very serious legal trouble where he could have been put in jail for many years, a place where he clearly didn’t belong and where he would have been targeted and severely abused because of his disability. By working with the judge and the DA, Marlin was able to arrange a satisfactory solution that kept our son out of jail. As a result, our son is in a much better place today. He now has a part-time job, is mentally healthy, and has had no recurring offenses. Without Marlin’s incredible legal skills and big heart, I believe our son would not have survived. We owe a great deal of gratitude to Marlin! I strongly and highly recommend Marlin Stapleton as a defense attorney! There is no one better! Sincerely,

I could not have asked for a more qualified attorney. He returned my calls immediately and everything he said he would do he did. Everyone in court knew him and some even told me I was lucky to have him representing me.I was referred by an attorney and i was I worried that because of his reputation that he would be expensive but was pleasantly surprise how fair his fees were.

Marlin has been professional and honest with me from day 1. He is easy to talk to and genuinely cares about his client's best interests. He ensured that I comply with all my legal proceedings and stipulations. Marlin and his staff were always courteous, informative, and promptly responded to my calls. I always knew I was in good hands watching Marlin work the courtroom. I had 5 felony and 2 misdemeanor charges which are ALL DISMISSED, thanks to him. Nothing short of a miracle worker!!!
