Fantastic

I hired Mark as my lawyer in a matter to expunge a twenty-year-old DUI that was hindering my ability to get clearance to become a teacher in another state. He did a wonderful job. He was forthright and did a comprehensive job in representing me in my matter. We were able to get the DUI sealed and ...I couldn't be happier with job he did. I would highly recommend him.

Quick and easy

I had contacted Mr. Herman for expungements thinking it was going to be a hassle, but i was blown away by the ease this was done in. Mr. Herman not only came up to par on the expectations I had for the hearings, but blew past them greatly. I thought this was going to be a hassle, but it turns out it ...was incredibly easy and Mr. Herman was there for me no matter the question. I highly recommend him to anyone to use, as it most definitely was a more pleasant experience than I thought it was going to be lawyer wise as well, and he was there for every concern I had.

Fantastic Attorney

I found Mark on Avvo. I was looking for a lawyer with great reviews. After going through so many reviews I narrowed it down to Mark. My thought was that the was a big shot lawyer who would have no time for me. I was surprised when he I called his office and he answered the phone on a weekend, he was ...very polite and without discussing fees, listened to my story and assured me that everything would be okay. I was a bit skeptical I guess due to his very warm disposition because he didn't sound impatient like most lawyers. I called him the following Monday morning and we discussed the details of my case and to be honest I was quite surprised at his fees. After speaking with him I was convinced he was the attorney for me. He started with my case, always keeping me updated and sending me the necessary paper work. I never went to his office or met him in person but I was convinced that he had expert knowledge on the issue. My court date came and we met on zoom due to covid19, his presentation was excellent and in 15 minutes it was all over. The dark cloud hovering over me for 7 years was gone ! My case was expunged and not only that, the Judge also had some kind words for me. This review will not express enough, my gratitude to Mark, he is an excellent attorney and forgive me if my review is too long, but I want anyone reading this review to believe in Mark and rest assured that he'll do his best not just as a hired attorney but also as a friend. All I can say is I had a wonderful experience with Mark and he is a great Attorney. Thank you my friend Mark, you gave me a gift to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Expungement

It’s a five star for me, he went above and beyond during the height of COVID to make sure my expungement got done, even with complications from the courts. I’m also not in the state of MN. So Mark Herman is the one you want and because of him. I am now a special police officer and now I’m able to pr...ovide a better life for me and my family. He very reasonable. Everything was finished in June but I’m now just coming through to drop my testimony. Have a wonderful day and call Mark

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Mark Herman is a well respected criminal defense attorney in Minnesota. In particular, he does an excellent job with helping people with expungements where they are eligible to do so. I would urge anyone with a lower level felony, gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor conviction who is now off probation to contact Mr. Herman to see if all or part of their criminal record is eligible to be expunged. This can help with finding housing or a new job."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I heartily endorse this lawyer. I have known Mark Herman for 18 years, and I deeply value his insight, perspective and ability to address client matters - both criminal and DWI/DUI - conscientiously, responsibly, perceptively and accurately. He provides informed, knowledgeable and practical advice and counsel to his clients on realistic options and approaches that effectively address that client's situation and issues. Mark's respect and regard for all people is exemplary and sets a very high standard for the legal profession. I have referred many people in virtually every economic, social, racial and cultural strata to Mark without any hesitation because I know his clients and their interests will be extremely well-served and well-represented. He provides nothing less than the highest quality, diligent and thoroughly professional legal representation services. He'd be the first attorney I'd go to if I or a family member needed representation in his practice areas."
