Expunge

I use Mr Maciej to expunge my record. The attorney is good and is doing his job right.

good lawyer

I was charged with felony burglary. The prosecutor refused to make an offer and the lawyer that I first hired was pressuring me to plead guilty because they had me on video. I refused to plead guilty and ended up firing that lawyer. Ended up hiring maciej because a friend recommended him. He explaine...d the risks of asking for a trial, but said he had no issue with fighting the charge as long as I understood the risks. Ended up with the judge finding me not guilty. Hired him again afterwards to expunge my record for this incident and some others I had in the past.

Avvo Rating

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.
