THE BEST ATTORNEY/LAWYER

Mark was patient with me, I didn’t even know what I was doing or getting into but I knew I needed help getting my record expunged. He walked me through every step while explaining to me clearly what it was that I needed to do on my behalf to get this done. This was the best experience I’ve ever had s...peaking and working with another individual. If you want someone to take your matters, feelings, questions etc seriously I wouldn’t work with anyone other than Mark Herman; he is the embodiment of what an Attorney should be. I’m very blessed and pleased to have gotten the pleasure to work with him. Thanks to Mark my life gets another chance!

Misdemeanor Expungement

I retained Mark to have a misdemeanor expunged. He was extremely thorough and had a detailed understanding of what was needed for a successful expungement. He was always respectful and professional in his communication. He was not cheap, and I felt I got my money's worth.

Above and Beyond

I hired Mr. Herman to assist me with two cases, and he went above and beyond every step of the way. He was always very prompt when answering any questions I had, and never gave me the sense of impatience or inconvenience, instead he always had a welcoming attitude and always took the time to answer m...y questions and concerns. He was extremely thorough with great attention to detail, not only with my questions, but in explaining everything I needed to know as well completing the paperwork, and he managed to help me win both cases. In short he gave me my life back and the chance to create a future without any hindrance. Not only that, but his pricing was very reasonable, however having got my life and future back is priceless, and is something I will always be grateful to him for. I very highly recommend Mr. Herman, as he will work relentlessly to help you with any matters you bring to him.

My experience with Mark Herman during my expungement process

I hired Mark Herman to represent me in my expungement case in 2024. He did an outstanding job of outlining the process involved in expunging a juvenile record. Furthermore, he was able to identify the critical point as to refute the claims of the prosecution. Mark Herman is an amazing expungement att...orney and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to represent me.

Great Expungement Attorney! Thank you, Mark!

After calling numerous expungement lawyers, I was happy to find Mark because he did exactly what he said he could do in our initial meetings before I retained him. Mark was also affordable compared to other lawyers. Whenever I had questions, Mark returned my calls promptly. He also listened to every...thing about my case and was helpful from many angles of what to expect and what to do in my situation. I am pleased that my expungement was granted and the services that Mark provides as well as his expertise with expungements. Mark was available to talk even when I had questions that seemed trivial to other lawyers and knew exactly what to do and how to approach my expungement case. Thank you, Mark, so much for helping me and getting my life back so that I am able to find employment and feel normal again!

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."

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.
