Rock Star!

I hired Marie Pacyga outside of Avvo to help me through my first offense DUI. She and her team are outstanding! They are thorough, knowledgeable, personable, caring, experienced, and non-judgmental. They will guide your every step and will fight on your behalf!

Marie works for you!

Everything required for the state and county was completed prior to the pretrial at which I plead guilty. The pretrial went smoothly and quickly and within a few days of the retrial everything was resolved satisfactorily. Fees were cut in half. She is knowledgeable, competent, non-judgmental and p...ersonable.

Caring, Calm, Calculating

My wife & I hired the Paycega Law firm over a year ago now, to help us navigate some serious (felony) accusations against our (adult) son, in Washington County, MN. From the initial consultation, through payment negotiations, on in to the actual case work, we knew from the get-go, "we hired the perfe...ct law firm" for our circumstances. Once we had met, & familiarized ourselves with Marie, her tactics, & style, we were fully confident that she cared enough about our family's situation far beyond what we expected from a lawyer. Our first time (ever) hiring a lawyer / law firm. With Marie heading up our team, knew we were in good hands. From the first court appearance, to the midweek meetings, & everything in between; Marie was ever present, the guiding hand overseeing the entire team. She was always aware of every detail, & was even able to forecast the "usual tactics" of the prosecutor, precalculating all possible moves - before the prosecutor made those moves. Even in the face of "bad news" she always kept a level head, helping to provide calm to my family, in times of great distress. Without all of her/their hard work, countless hours working hand-on, & steadfast dedication, I doubt we could have achieved a full dismissal (as we did) without Marie & the entire Paycega team. We are eternally grateful for the "Ryan Paycega Law Firm" & especially Marie Paycega (& her LAA, Misty's) phenomenal legal capability. Thank You Marie, Misty, Ryan, & all the unknown/unseen people behind the scenes - without you, who knows where our son would be right now. No amount of thank you's could cover what they've done for us.

Thank you for the kind words and recommendation. We believed 100% in your son's case and his innocence, and with hard work it paid off with a clean dismissal of the case! Best of luck going forward!

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.
