Posted by anonymous | April 23, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

I highly recommend Mr. Karmelin

Mr. Karmelin handles my case 14 years ago and it was the best outcome possible. I am returning and hopefully he can handles my expungement. I am forever thankful to Mr. Karemlin, I have not been in any legal trouble since.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
