Posted by Brian | September 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Identity Theft

Heavy Equipment Operator

I am from Massachusetts and was involved in a crime that an old friend of mine did. The charge was Identity Theft. It happened back in 2006. Since then I have straightened my life out. I work for a Public Works department for the past ten years but was trying to relocate to Florida to be with my fian...cé and baby daughter. Went for a similar city job down there and was turned down because of that 13 year old charge I got in Minnesota. That's when I contacted Mark Herman. I found him on the internet and saw great reviews. When I first called him and spoke with him, I liked him immediately. He knows the law very good and has a lot of experience. I flew out to Minneapolis just this past week , and met him on time at the courthouse. He did an excellent job presenting my case to the judge and did get the charge expunged from my record. I was very pleased and would highly recommend him. He's really down to earth guy, and knows how to really talk to people in a way that is polite and respectful, but also gets the job done. Hes a good guy and DEFINITELY gets my approval.

Expungement

I had the privilege of retaining Mark Herman for his Expungement Services. This was the best investment I made towards my future. Due to Mark’s expertise, we were able to achieve favorable outcomes in both of my cases. Mark successfully petitioned the courts to help seal a Misdemenaor and 5th Degree ...Felony Possesion charges. Please do yourself a favor, contact Mark Herman for your best chance at a second chance.

You will know right away that he is going to help. I have hope again.

I ended up with a misdemeanor. It is a long story. But Mark got this expunged so that I can get back to work. I had called many people before calling him; but after I talked to him I knew right away that he knew what he was doing and that he cared. He told me more in 3 minutes than previous people ha...d told me in months. He always treated me with kindness and he was always professional. He also talks to you directly himself. I feel like I have hope again and I am so lucky that I found him.

Second chance

I don’t know where to begin, I really don’t trust lawyers have had several not so good experiences with them in several different areas of law. Mark has changed those feelings indefinitely! He is honest ( so listen to him), very patient, and well versed in the law (expungement law in my case). Years ...prior I had two other lawyers tell me an expungement would not be granted and it left me defeated. God had another plan because I googled best expungement lawyers in Minnesota and found Mark. We handled everything via email and phone due to me residing in another state. He calmed all of my fears/anxieties that I had about this situation and lead me to a fresh start. Through Mark Herman GOD worked and I was granted an expungement, he has even helped me clean my online reputation by having articles related to said conviction removed. He is a blessing, will be forever greatful for his service.

SL

Mark was very thorough with taking care of my expungement. He was very confident and the results proved his confidence was very justified. Mark was extremely knowledgeable about what was needed to make the expungement happen and if my sistuation would be expunged. He know the points to hit and where ...and when an argument was needed to prove the case. I was extremely happy with hiring 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."
