Excellent Attorney!

Mack Schaffer is very professional, personable and highly efficient. I contacted several attorneys to explore what options I had and Mack helped me to understand next steps clearly. He thoroughly explained the expungement process, was very receptive to my questions and helped me feel very comforta...ble about a very unpleasant experience. From the moment I left his office, Mack was on top of my case. He kept me updated with every step of the process from week to week, before I even had a chance to inquire about the status of my case. He even completed the process sooner than I expected. These are invaluable qualities in an attorney! I am very grateful to him for his legal services. Kudos to Mackenzie Schaffer!

Professional and Respectful attorney

Mack Schaffer handled my expunction case and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney . I am very grateful for the fact that he took the time to send me a letter in the mail to let me know that I was eligible for expunction. Just a month before I received the letter from Mack, ...my lawyer that handled my court case told me I wasn't eligible. The fact that he sent me the letter made me choose him because it showed me that he would go out of his way for his clients and I really respect that. He is very knowledgeable, kept me informed at all times and was very quick to respond to my calls or emails. Mack was very professional yet very kind and friendly and made me feel very comfortable with the whole process. He made me feel like he truly cared about my case. He has exceeded my expectations and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. I am very thankful to him and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs his services.

Affordable Expunction

Thanks to Mack Shaffer, he informed me that I was able to expunge a misdemeanor that I had on my record. According to my court papers, they had told me that I wouldn't be able to expunge my case until March 2017. Well, thankfully after receiving a letter through the mail from Mack, informing me that... I was eligible for expunction, I called him to get some info and he said that I didn't have to wait a whole 2 years to get it removed from my record, due to a law that had passed after my case was dismissed. Even better, he gave me an affordable price, compared to the other lawyers in the Houston area, so I went ahead and hired him for my expunction case right away. Mack was very knowledgeable and helpful with my case, and I would highly recommend him to anybody that comes upon any trouble.

Professional Integrity

My husband and I contacted Mr. Mack Schaffer when our son made a bad decision and was charged with criminal trespassing. After contacting Mr, Schaffer, he was able to meet with us in a very timely manner. This allowed us to find out what our options were without having to wait and without as much wor...ry. We found Mr, Schaffer to be knowledgeable and trustworthy. He started working on our case immediately. He told and encouraged us to contact him at any time. Therefore, we were able to contact him when we needed an answer quickly. We emailed him several times, even on a weekend, and he emailed back at his earliest convenience, usually within the hour. We would highly recommend Mr. Mack Schaffer to assist anyone that is in need of his services. He was more than reasonable with his fees and was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Not only is Mr, Schaffer is an outstanding lawyer, he is also well respected and genuinely a good person. Again, we would highly recommend Mr. Mack Schaffer if someone is in need of his services.
