I was recently defended by Jason St. Albans of Marcilliat & Mills. I wanted to genuinely express my appreciation to him and the firm . I had a situation that was difficult for me to deal with. Jason was both extremely knowledgable and understanding in helping me prepare . He made time to understand not only my case but how I can personally deal with everything. Without Jason this would have been allot more difficult than anticipated. I am so grateful for all his help and support.
Also wanted to thank Gage for always being there when I called and needed someone. He was extremely helpful and reliable. And didn't want to forget all he did as well.

I messaged this office on Sunday, thinking I wouldn't hear back from them until Monday. Mr. Marcilliat called us Sunday evening. We couldn't afford their prices. If I could, I would have hired him on the spot. One of the reasons our quote was high is that we are about 3 hrs away from their offices. I would highly recommend him if you can afford him. During the initial consultation with me, he covered every detail with me professionally, patiently, and kindly. You could tell right away that he is very well-versed in criminal law. Could you do yourself a favor and call his office?

Miranda Mills and Jason St. Aubin represented me in a criminal case that took almost six years to finally get justice. The knowledge and experience of the team was exceptional, the truth was put on display to the jurors, and within three hours of deliberation they came back with a verdict of not guilty on all three charges. If it wasn't for Miranda's tenacity and Jason's expertise, I may have not seen my wife and daughter ever again. My family and I are grateful to have had this team fight for the truth.

Jason St Aubin and his paralegal Gage were both wonderful in handling my son's felony case. Jason was especially helpful in the whole bonding out process as we were unfamiliar with how it all worked. We felt confident that we were in good hands. We were kept informed as the case progressed and then got the good news that it was dismssed! The fees were also reasonable. I never felt taken advantage of because we were not familiar with the process. Thank you Jason and Gage!

Attorney Guyton helped me resolve an old case in another county. He was able to get a plea negotiated where the two felonies were dismissed! No jail time, no probation! Even the judge seemed impressed. Would definitely recommend this firm to anyone needing quality lawyer services.
