I hired Mark Mack at Mack Law offices based on what was told to me at the free initial consultation. I was told he would only charge me $1000 for his services if I was going to plea guilty and he assured me he was 99% positive he could end my matter with just a fine. He stated the only way I would ha...ve to pay additional fee is if I decided to plea not guilty and fight the charge in court but I had already decided I was going to plea guilty and hopefully end this matter with a fine. I had a preliminary hearing where Mack did not show up, instead he had another lawyer attend who spoke with the DA and I was told I had 2 options, I could plea guilty and take the fine or I could do ARD and the charge would be dropped once ARD was completed. I choose to take the fine so this matter could be resolved as quickly and easily as possible. I was then told I could not plea at this preliminary hearing and had to go to the court house to put my plea in. I asked the lawyer who was sent by Mack if I would have to pay Mack law any additional fee and he assured me I would not unless I was going to plea not guilty and fight the charge in court which is what I agreed to with Mr. Mack. Few days later I called Mack law office to ask which lawyer would be coming to the court house with me so I could plea guilty as we discussed and at that point I was told that Mack decided he wanted more money and if I didn't pay an additional $1500 he would not show up to my hearing. I would not recommend Mack law offices to anyone under any circumstances.
