Exceptionally responsive and professional
Mark was extremely helpful when I was dealing with a charge. He walked me through the steps in a way that I, someone with no experience with the legal system, was able to understand. He stayed in contact with me about how my case was progressing and what my options were. I was dealing with possible r...

Came thru exactly as he said he would
i hired Mr. Maciolek initially for a charge in Southern WI. Before he even contacted me he did his homework and noticed i had two other issues that had not been "completed" in other counties. It was impressive and appreciated that he not only wanted to work the case i hired him to but he basically in...

Very Professional!
I contacted Mark in an effort to find an attorney in the Madison area to assist a U-W student who had received some local infractions and a school disciplinary hearing notice. It was obvious Mark was very qualified to handle both, and he spent considerable time with me on the phone - gratis - before...

Hold this attorney in highest regard
Mark Maciolek helped me through the most difficult time of my life, as the Bush Recession left me unemployed, then grossly underemployed, wiped out and facing aggressive creditors. Such a moment breeds humiliation, tension and great fear, and Mark's steady presence and obvious intelligence made find...
Mark P. Maciolek's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mark is a fearless and tireless advocate for his clients. I know of very few lawyers who put the kind of time and effort into their cases that he does. I refer things to him frequently - both federal and state matters. Mark fights like hell to make sure his clients get a vigorous defense. And, unlike many defense lawyers, Mark has a lot of trials - what that means is that he spends the time to look for issues and develop unique defenses. It also means that Mark isn't scared to argue in front of a judge or jury. Believe me when I say that plenty of people do not have the level of confidence or intelligence to think on their feet and handle complex litigation and criminal defense like Mark does."
"Mark is an excellent criminal defense lawyer. He has obtained outstanding results in both federal and state trial and appellate courts. I routinely consult with him on complex legal issues, and would not hesitate to refer him to anyone facing serious criminal charges."
"I had the pleasure of working with Mark on a complex multi-jurisdictional investigation. We worked together to quickly establish a plan of action for our client to ensure that our client's interests and rights were protected in multiple venues. Our plan of action was effective and our client avoided facing any criminal charges in any jurisdiction and avoided the damage that could have been incurred to his reputation and career had charges been filed. Mark has excellent communication skills, is very effective individually, and is also able to work as part of a team when a client's needs require a multi-faceted approach."
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Mark for about ten years. We've consulted on cases, and recently we were representing co-defendants on a significant criminal case. Mark is very smart, hard-working, and cares deeply about providing the best possible legal representation to his clients. These are the attributes of a very fine lawyer."
"I recently referred a case to Mark. Three things that stand out are his incredible knowledge of the federal criminal justice system, the fact that he'll go out of his way to help potential clients, and that he's brutally honest. Although he is extremely impressive in his own right, Mark routinely works as a team with another outstanding attorney, Hal Harlowe, who is also well respected by prosecutors, which helps Mark and Hal achieve outstanding results for their clients. If you have a question about potential state or federal criminal charges, or have been charged with a crime, I can't emphasize enough that you call Mark as soon as possible, particularly in federal criminal cases where immediate action and a great lawyer can make a huge difference."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Mark. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mark is my go to person for questions on federal practice and is a well respected attorney who remains cool while fighting for his clients on some of the most serious of charges."
"Mark is an aggressive and knowledgeable advocate. He is especially well versed in guns rights. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark to a friend or family member in need."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"I have worked with Mark in federal court. I have personally seen him in action at both the trial and appellate level. He brings a desire to learn and excel to everything he does. He has a solid work ethic, and he cares about his clients. I have referred others to him, and his language skills make him one of a select few in many cases."
"Mark is very knowledgeable and aggressive. He fights tirelessly for his clients' rights. I have recommended him in the past and will continue to do so without hesitation."
"Mark is a soft spoken, but zealous advocate for his clients in both federal and state court. I am personally familiar with cases in which he went above and beyond the call of duty to help clients and right wrongs. For Mark it's not about the money; it's about the work. That's exactly what you want from a lawyer. I gladly endorse him."
"I do not hesitate to refer people to Attorney Maciolek. He is an excellent attorney. Mark has a superior understanding of the law, and he serves the needs of his clients with integrity and compassion."
"I endorse this lawyer."
