Excellent Lawyer - Hire Marc Decker!

Marc worked with me on a case, attended to every question, concern, or thought I had. He made sure to look over the case thoroughly and didn't miss any details. He was honest with me and made sure I was pleased. When we went to court, he won the case hands down! Such a funny, incredible lawyer. I wou...ld recommend Marc to anyone!

Posted by Josh | July 13, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Saved my life!

Marc Decker is the greatest lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He helped me fight a case that was looking down a pretty dark path for my future. Fourtunatley he was able to get my record expunged so I can now proceed on the right path for my life and improve myself to provide a grea...t future for myself. Wouldn't have traded any lawyer in the world for Marc, always ready on the phone to answer any questions or advice you may need. I highly recommend his service.

Help with Speeding Ticket

Marc was extremely helpful in getting a speeding violation resolved for me. He was thorough, extremely conscientious and professional. Most importantly, his efforts with local law enforcement resulted in a resolution which reduced the number of points that I would receive on my driver's license. Othe...rwise, I would have had to retake my driving test for Pennsylvania, and additionally my parents might have had to drop me from their insurance. I would recommend him highly!! We are so glad we hired him!! Now I can get back to being a student without this hanging over my head. Thanks Marc.

Outstanding

If you are in need of an attorney, Marc is an exceptional one at that and highly recommended. Not only is he extremely educated in regards to the judicial system, he takes the time to sit with you and explain the processes/steps necessary. I was extremely nervous the outcome after having been convict...ed of a DUI in the spring of 2014, however Marc handled the case with the upmost respect and professionalism. Furthermore, my DUI is now expunged off my record and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. He is a candid human being and as previously mentioned HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!

Most helpful!

I contacted Marc after my daughter had been cited by Penn State police for underage drinking. She was a freshman, badly handled by the police and shaken to the core. Not only did Marc admirably handle our case, and get it totally expunged, but his calm demeanor and professionalism helped us throughou...t the ordeal. He met with the police with us, explained the procedures and provided much needed guidance and support. His follow-up was also most professional and thoughtful. I highly recommend him!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
