Marie Celine Pacyga

Being a lawyer is multi-faceted - one must know the law, know how to be an advocate, and be empathetic and compassionate. I hired Marie to represent me after a terrible evening involving family, drinking, arguments and misunderstandings. I got a DWI and was thrown in jail for 5 days, including 4 in t...he workhouse. I will never forget the relief I felt when I saw her that next day, coming to meet with me to gather information for my case. I was still in a state of shock, horrified at the charges, and terrified of the potential consequences. She calmly listened to what I had to say, and was very compassionate and understanding as I sat there and cried. From incident to disposition, my case took almost 8 months. We had 2 court dates prior to the final one, and throughout the entire ordeal, Marie was a constant pillar of strength, knowledge, and comfort, helping to navigate through a very painful process. She has a brilliant mind, and is very knowledgeable about criminal law and criminal procedure. She is also a strong advocate for her clients, has a very compassionate nature, and does not judge. She is also well-respected by her colleagues, judges, and prosecutors, and has cultivated great relationships with all of them. When she advocates on behalf of her clients, they listen and take her recommendations to heart. My two most serious charges were dismissed and I pled guilty to the DWI. I think, under the circumstances, it was the best result possible, and I credit Marie's representation with such a positive final outcome. She has my unequivocal recommendation!!

I could not have been happier with Marie throughout the entire process. This can be a devastating and difficult journey to overcome but Marie was there to simplify and assist me in all aspects of case. From driving an hour an a half in rush hour traffic to meet with me, to working into the late after...noon hours during the week and weekend, she went above and beyond to see this case all the way though. Highly recommend her and her team!

As a 93X morning show listener and hearing Ryan Pacyga many times talk about cases he was representing I hired Pacyga Criminal Defense as I knew they were a group that actually cared about the outcome of a case. When I first talked to Marie I knew my choice was sound. Marie did a fantastic job repres...enting me in my DWI case. With her help we won the case against me and got my charge dismissed. There is no doubt in my mind that her tenacity in defending me was the difference maker. I would highly recommend Marie and her team.

I had a domestic case against me and even though I knew I was innocent I knew the courts didn't take lightly to any domestic case. I was very concerned and didn't want something like this on my record. I made a phone call to Mrs. Pacyga and along with her team did a great job for me, ended up getting... all the charges dropped to a stay of adjudication and a small unsupervised probation. She was very prompt and thorough with me through the whole process and put me at ease many times. Thanks again Marie, I appreciate all you did for me!
