ANASTASE MARKOU WINS MAJOR VICTORY IN CRIMINAL CASE
Federal District Court Magistrate Joseph Scoville granted habeas corpus relief upon the request of Anastase Markou. The court found that Mr. Markou’s client had been poorly represented by another Kalamazoo law firm. The court vacated the client’s lengthy prison sentence due to the excellent and persuasive advocacy of Mr. Markou. The result is that several years will be cut from the sentence and this man is expected to be home with his family soon.
