Excellent!

I hired Mack for an expungement and he did an excellent job taking care of everything. Mack kept me updated regularly and we were able to handle everything via email which is a big convenience! I was impressed at the quickness of my expungement. I usually don't do reviews but Mack did a great job an...d I just had to for anyone looking for great service. I highly recommend him.

Trustworthy, Knowledgeable, Effective, Meticulous, Quick Responses, Rising Star !!!

When I first spoke with Mackenzie "Mack" Shaffer I was very impressed with his professionalism. He provided a free consultation on my case, meticulously explained the process of the courts and what to expect during the expunction petition. He was very easy to speak with, reasonable fees and if I had ...any questions ever - he would always answer within the same day via email. I will forever be grateful for hiring you to represent me! I strongly recommend calling Mackenzie "Mack" Schaffer before you call any other defense lawyer.

My Appreciation

I was skeptical at first when I received a letter from Mr. Schaffer about his offer on helping me get my case expunged, but given much thought and consideration. I had decided to contact him to ask what I needed to know and what he was going to do to get my case expunged. Mr. Schaffer was very kind, ...straight-forward, and very reliable. He showed persistence, respect, honesty, compassion, and non-judgmental towards me and my case. Throughout the whole process, he constantly notifies me through e-mail about my case and how long it would take for the process to be done. I am truly grateful for the amount of time and effort he puts into my case along with his other clients. He was great, I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of getting their criminal record expunged. It is because of his hard work and dedication that I am able to move forward with my life. Thank you Mr. Schaffer for all you've done!

How I cleared my name

We all have events in our lives that follow us. They pop up when looking for a job. Creditors and others see it. Its normal to not want to be judged by a single event in your life. Its is also normal to want to make a good first impression or at least not make a bad first impression. Enter Attorney M...ack Schaffer. If your case fits the expungement parameters, he is the guy for you. He lays out a deliberate and methodical process that he follows dutifully. Updates are regular and succinct. Best of all, the price was much lower than the competition. I cant say enough about this valuable service that Mack performs for people like me. I have recommended him to at least two people with similar situations.

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!
