Detroit A Detroit-area man who shed a life of crime and became a lawyer is grateful to a judge who ordered probation over prison.
“It seems surreal still,” Ed Martell told WDIV-TV. “It’s only been a few days and when clients call and say, ‘Can I talk to attorney Ed Martell?’ I have to pinch myself.”
In May, Martell was sworn in as a member of the State Bar of Michigan by Wayne County Judge Bruce Morrow.
Martell was 27 years old in 2005, a high school dropout with a criminal record. He appeared in Morrow’s court facing possible prison time for delivery and manufacture of cocaine.
