Best Lawyer

Got my case dismissed with only a anger management class to take and is working to get my record expunged. He listens works with you and actually cares about his clients. Best lawyer I’ve had.

First and only consultation i took

He immediately made me feel better about my situation upon the first phone call and was honest and up front about everything. Told me the best and worst case scenarios that could happen but pushed for the best possible outcome and pushed me to do everything i could to help that happen which in my cas...e it did.

Diligent lawyer with your rights in mind, not your wallet.

Came to Mack over Avvo. I didn't want just any lawyer, I wanted a highly reviewed lawyer who dealt specifically with expungements and non-disclosures. After sending a message, Mack got back to me within 30 minutes by phone. He gave me a quick rundown of what I could expect with my particular case and... invited me to start the process with him at his office at my convenience. Once we agreed to a contract and very fair price, the case was underway. Mack gives updates via your preferred method of contact and explains every aspect of the process so you are well informed about your rights both now and going forward. Even after my case was completed, Mack assured me if I had any other issues or needed advice, he was only a text away. Do yourself a favor and take a look at how staunchly he upholds personal rights and his fight for them on his website: "Nothing upsets him more than when the State attempts to whittle away what little rights we, as citizens, have left. ". You're in good legal hands with him.

Expungement Case

Mr. Schaffer helped guide me through the process of getting an arrest that never should have happened, expunged from my record. He kept me informed and updated throughout the whole process and laid out the details in a concise and easy to understand manner. I highly recommend his services.

Got the results I wanted, very professional

I highly recommend Mack for any of your legal needs. In my situation, he was able to get me the best possible option. His guidance through the legal system was the best I could possibly expect. He clearly explains potential outcomes, as well as what was expected of me as a client and defendant. I cou...ld not be where I am today without his hard work. Instead of having a record and a marred past, Mack worked to get me the best possible shot at a bright future. I cannot recommend him more highly.
