About Mace

Learn Mace’s areas of practice.

5
Practice areas
  1. Criminal defense
    50%
    I have been trying criminal cases since 1981 and am the only licensed criminal defense attorney in Nevada to win a case before the United States Supreme Court. I have tried all kinds of cases like murder, DUI, sex crimes, and many, many more.

  2. DUI and DWI
    20%
    I have been trying DUI cases since 1981. I've handled thousands of case including Felony DUI with Death or Substantial Bodily Harm, which is non-probationable

  3. Child abuse
    10%

  4. Domestic violence
    10%
    I have been trying Domestic Violence (DV); cases since 1981. I've handled literally 1000's of DVs including felony cases involving strangulation and substantial bodily harm. Many times, I have been able to resolve the case so it ends up an a complete dismissal. We can seal the record so that no one will see that you have been arrested or charged with a crime.In fact, under NV law, if someone asks if you have ever been arrested or charged with crime.You may truthfully say no!

    42 years, 1,000 cases

  5. Personal injury
    10%
    I've handled hundreds of personal injury cases in both State and Federal court:auto accidents,trucking accidents wrongful death and traumatic brain injuries.Dog bites with 6 figure recovery for severed vocal chords.Homeowners inspolicies will pay.We handled many uninsured and under insured cases.if insurance companies play games, we make them pay. Most people don't know but your own ins co. has an obligation to pay you the undisputed damages right away.This helps ease the financial pressure

    42 years, 500 cases

I've been practicing for over 30 years. I have handled virtually every type of criminal case. I won a case in front of the United States Supreme Court. I was able to get a death sentence reversed, I have represented  several lawyers and Dr's on DUI cases. None of my lawyer and/or Dr. clients have ever been convicted of a DUI. I also represented a Dr on a sexual assault case and had it dismissed.

 

I then represented a Dr. that was accused of murder for allegedly casuing a patient overdose that resulted in , with several experts,I was able to show this was not was able to convince the Clark County Coroner to chenge his opinion,which is almost unheard of. Finally I was able to get his murder case dismissed with prejudice,which means the state can never file another murder case based on these facts.

 

I've lectured at many seminars,in Nevada and several other states teaching other laywers how to practice law. I am also very active in the Nevada stae bar the antional association of Criminal Defense lawyers and  the Stae Affliate, the Nevada Attorneys for Criminal Justice, (WhichI helped found)

 

Also, I am an accomplished musician.. I play the piano and harmonica.. I have performed at many bar also performed at a wedding with the rock group, April Wine. I have written a musical about law school. It is called 'the Writs of Spring" It features such songs a 'the Law School Blues" ,"I Wanna be

 a punk lawyer" and the Well Hung Jury Bike Gang Theme Song"

Scott Kelly Accident Brake Failure
Mr Yampolsky was referred to me by a friend and as soon as I called he got right on the case. He and staff were very friendly and put me at ease from the beginning. Everything was taken care of in a very expedient and professional manner. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome and not hesitate to refer Mr Yampolsky to anyone in a similar situation. Thanks to all that assisted in my case as my life is returning to normal after such a stessful incident that could have ended much worse otherwise. Sincerely, Scott T Kelly

Great staff, ridiculously helpful paralegals, super awesome team overall
I just wanted to say that Mace has a fantastic team overall. This is the second attorney team I hired to defend me for my case and Mace's team blew the other team out of the water with regards to helpfulness, approachability, accessibility, and timeliness of responses . Their paralegals answer e-mails with very helpful information and always in a super timely manner. They're comforting and supportive. Mace's partner Jason jumps in whenever Mace is unavailable and they never leave you hanging. They continue to assist me after my sentencing over a year later. I would hire this team again.

25+ years and NEVER let me down
I've known Mr Yampolsky for over 25 years, professionally. He is intelligent, organized, exceptionally well spoken, truthful and honest. If you were to open a dictionary for the definition of the word 'lawyer' a photograph of Mace Yampolsky would be the complete positive summation. He will work tirelessly to bring your case to the appropriate outcome. May God continue to bless his work.

Mace is amazing!
2020 was a rough year (for everyone), and I had been going through a terrible couple months and unfortunately ended up having two DUIs. I was referred to Mace by a very good friend. I explained to Mace what had happened, not only once, but twice. He explained to me the worst case scenario, and was never judgmental of my situation. Any time I had any questions, it was easy to reach Mace or his team. Now my court cases are pretty much done, and I thankfully am not in jail. I am so grateful for Mace, and would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation!! Thank you for everything Mace!

Exceptional
When I found myself in desperate need of an attorney’s help, I tried calling two other law firms. I wasn’t impressed, I didn’t feel they had my best interests in mind. I had to wait a considerable amount of time to talk to the attorneys at both firms. While waiting for a response from one of the firms, I took a chance and called Mace Yampolsky and I am so very glad I did. Theresa answered my call and she put me right through to Mace. The way they greeted me made me feel important. Mace listened to me. He answered all my questions and took the time to explain the process to me so I would know what to expect. Mace and Theresa took the weight off my shoulders and handled everything, they literally calmed all my fears, they gave me peace of mind. When I heard the outcome of my case, tears of joy ran down my face. I cannot thank them enough for all they’ve done for me. I highly recommend the law office of Yampolsky & Margolis to anyone in need of help. I am forever grateful to them.

Sitting in CCDC jail my Son was referred by a lawyer to Mace for my case. From lowering the Bail and negotiating lesser plea deals Mace is a Ace in the Court Room. He will always have your back and best interests for you. Very experienced! Thank You Mace

Very helpful!
Mace was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. He called me from home the very same night we needed advice and I am eternally grateful for that. It was a possibility the situation was going to become volatile and getting good advice to stop anything from developing was essential. We did not end up hiring this attorney because the incident mentioned did not warrant it. However, should we ever need an attorney in the future I will absolutely call Mace.

Mace is an experienced, trustworthy, strategic partner!
I am the director of operations for a HNW consultancy. We deal with a lot of big ticket clients and I am very familiar with practitioners who always lead with “fees first!”. This was not my experience with Mace. This guy led with “help first...!” We had a crisis situation on Saturday. I needed to consult a criminal defense attorney in Clark County. On. A. Saturday. I reached out to some attorneys I know here in Los Angeles. One responded with, and I quote...”I know him only by reputation but the guys name is Mace Yamploski.” I called Mace's service, they patched me through, I gave him the download and...Within the hour he has consulted the judge and given us (in reference to a client in crisis) a complete advisory on what to expect and best next steps. On. A. Saturday. Additionally, he led us to his simply incredible Private Investigator who has been nothing short of a miracle. From word one, I knew this guy was an experienced, trustworthy, strategic partner in some problems that needed to be solved... On. A. Saturday. Thank you, Mace! Just can't recommend him enough!

The man!
When it comes to legal business Mr. Yampolsky is the one to definitely go to! I was pulled over by the police some time ago and received a traffic ticket. Mr. Yampolsky appeared on my behalf to my court date and got my fined reduced by almost 80%! Without Mr. Yampolsky's help I have no idea what I would do with my life. This traffic ticket would of haunted me (literally). Thank you Mr. Yampolsky for helping me with my traffic ticket I could never thank you enough.

Absolutely Amazing
I hired Mace and his team to handle my case. They helped me along every step of the way. I couldn't be happier. In my instance Mace was able to get my case completely dismissed and I can't thank him enough. Literally a life saver in my time of need.

Made everything better
I spent some time with Mace and he provided me with a great deal of advice. When we spoke, I was really worried, I left feeling much better. If I need to hire an attorney again (knock on wood I won't), no question I will hire Mace. His knowledge alone sold me. His candid statements about saving me money was icing on the cake. Thanks, Mace

Records Sealed!
After having a broken heart from the situation surrounding my mothers passing when I was 18 and making a series of bad choices, with his big heart Mace helped me when our courts had the intentions of throwing me in the garbage. 20 years later, I did not hesitate to reconnect with him to get my records sealed so that I can continue to move forward in life. I hired Mace to get my criminal record sealed and he and Donna did so efficiently, clearly and without judgement. They were helpful, communicated clearly and did not waste any time. Filled with hope and excitement to reclaim an unaltered path of my own choice is an amazing feeling I have not had for my adult life until now. Thank you, Mace & Donna!

Excellent Lawyer
Mace and Jason really stepped up with my sons case, past and present. They were always available to take my calls on weekends and after business hours. We have called them several times for my son and both of them jumped when we needed them. I would recommend him and his firm to whom ever would need a lawyer. They really are there for not just their client, but to help ease the minds or the worried family members. Mace is a very nice man and shows compassion for all. Thank you Mace and Jason, I really appreciate you guys helping my son and my family.
