I wanted to take the time to share my experience with others regarding the process of a Marchment Act. My story is long for caring for an alcoholic, so this is the synopsis of my journey.

Deciding to Marchment Act someone is not an easy decision, but it was my last attempt to try to save someone I care deeply for and feel it was important not only to save them but myself from the hardship of living with an alcoholic. Since I wasn’t familiar or educated on the process or even had heard of a Marchment Act in the State of Florida, I wanted to secure the top attorney in Florida that had experience with this process. After carefully investigating three attorneys and interviewing them over the phone, I decided that Michael Rabideau was the best, and I only would accept the top attorney for this journey. Entering into court with someone you care about is a stressful situation and is hard on both parties, so be prepared mentally. Michael was not just my attorney, but my partner in the court case. Michael explained the entire process to me so that I would be prepared mentally and have the knowledge of the court procedure. He was always available to me and communicated with me regularly as well as answered all my questions but also came up with solutions. Michael is someone that not only cares for his clients but also has concerns for the person that is being Marchment Acted. In my final words, if you are living or know someone that has a substance abuse, I highly recommend you considering Marchment Acting them and hiring Michael as your partner. Save yourself and the ones you love from this horrific illness.

I just want to start off with saying Michael treated me with the upmost respect and humility. He always followed up with updates on my case. I will 100% recommend him to anybody.

I cannot exaggerate Michael’s virtues enough. I was facing a rather severe sentence and from the very beginning Mike made me feel like it was us against the world and that we were going to beat my charge. He was the calm in the storm, he was the rock that kept me steady throughout a very arduous time in my life. He was prompt in returning all questions and phone calls, he was incredibly knowledgeable, and he knew many of the judges and assistant district attorney’s for Palm Beach County. Needless to say, he expected no surprises and we thank goodness received none. He believed in me through out and because of that, eventually so did the district attorney. I could not recommend Mike Mr.Robideau more highly if he were my own father, I owe him a debt of gratitude that I won’t be able to pay back in this life but I’m sure he will be justly rewarded in the next. If you’re on the fence between him and 15 other guys, step off the fence and make the right choice. This has been a completely unsolicited review.

Mike ,
Helped me out of a tricky situation where the DA was reading the case wrong and he calmly came up to me and told me not to worry he knows it's wrong and that he would fix it. Which he did and the end result was perfect for my situation. He will make you feel comfortable the minute you sit down with him. It's just his voice the self confidence and the way he treats you.

Mike came highly recommended from a friend of mine. I explained my situation, and he was happy to give me a consultation.
I had possible jail time over my head. My co-defendants paid almost twice as much in legal fees, and did not receive as good of a deal as me.
Got off with no convictions, and some probation. Miracle worker. Highly recommend.

Mike is a true professional...business done the “old school” way doesn’t exist anymore... Well, I’m here to tell you that not every lawyer is out to get you and empty your pockets... This man and his amazing law firm helped my family in their greatest time of need and we all are better off with him as our attorney of choice! Call Mike if you want to deal with a one of a kind criminal defense attorney! You won’t be disappointed with his firm!

Excellent lawyer, excellent human being, you get the feeling he is truly helping from the bottom of his heart. Will and do recommend to anyone in need.

I genuinely believe Mike was put here to help people who are doing the right thing. This man did an amazing job and got me out of an incredibly sticky situation, I was facing 5 years for probation violations. And as it turns out because of his effort and tenacity I had been on probation for an extra 18 months and I couldn't have proved it without him. He's willing to work with you on payments and even offered to pick me up from jail since I have no friends or family in the states of Florida. Best lawyer ever

From the moment we 1st spoke about my case I felt at ease. He kept me in the loop and up to date on everything that was occurring. Always professional and eager to assist and always put my worries to rest. I honestly couldn't have asked for better treatment from beginning to end. Highly highly recommend!

I had 6 charges. 3 of which were violent offenses. Going into this mess before I had Mike I was scared I would end up in jail with a tarnished record. Instead I only have 6 months of probation and my record will stay clean. So grateful and thankful for him. I'd recommend him to anyone. Very supportive and didn't charge me an arm and a leg!

He is good

Michael is a compassionate, dedicated, knowledgeable criminal attorney working in West Palm Beach. He is absolutely committed to proving the best results possible for all of his clients, and is easy to talk to and very accessible.

Mr. Rabideau started on my case in 2017 and has taken care of everything along the way. We didn’t have to go to court however he was more than prepared to do so and had my full trust. I would recommend him to anyone that would need his help because he would get you the results you need because Mr. Rabideau is honest and has his clients best interest at heart.

I have used Mike’s services to handle traffic related matters for almost a decade. He is honest, effective and doesn’t over charge. I would recommend him to anyone for every legal issue!

Mike has been outstanding a d professional for all of my family's legal needs. He gets things done!!! Myself and my entire family and friends will always stick with Mike because he's trustworthy and ridiculously knowledgeable.

Great person! Would always return my phone calls and keep me up to date with everything going on, would recommend to anyone inquiring

Upon hiring Mr.Rabideau i was just bonded out of federal jail i asked around to a couple of my freinds and i swear 3 different freinds gave me Mr. Rabideau number telling me what a awesome job he did for them...I know why now!!! They say lawyers dont care well this one does!!!God sent him to me thank you.

Mike is one of those people that immediately make you feel comfortable. He’s a professional, he knows his stuff, he’s a fighter, and a heck of a nice guy!

Mike was incredible and helps me in every way possible went outside the box to figure out a plan for me to keep me out of jail and get house arrest absolutely incredible he's amazing recommend him very highly thanks Mike
