Mace Yampolsky

We are out of state and when our son received a DUI we were in a panic. We knew we needed a good lawyer and we called Mace. From the first call he was understanding, kind and informative. We were impressed from our first contact, and continued to feel as though we had picked the right attorney. ... He told us what to expect and how he would proceed. He instilled tremendous trust in us at a time when, as parents, we really needed it! He answered all our questions and proceeded to do just as he had told us! We were impressed with his experience and knowledge. We knew our son's case was in very very competent hands. I would totally recommend Mace for any and all legal needs. At a time when you are in unknown waters, Mace was a lifeboat for all of us!

Worry free life now

Due to my reckless behavior in my early 20's- I received my very first DUI. Then in 2009, I was pulled over again and because I was very scared of the outcome-- I did not take care of it right away. I knew that it being my 2nd DUI (almost a year after the first one), the chances of going to jail--... were quite high. I am a very ambitious person with a pretty decent background/family who never got in any kind of trouble such as this. In fact, I did not even know anyone that had ever been to jail. So unfortunately, I chose to "run away" from my problem. Fast forward a couple years later and after living a pretty UN-normal life (always worried about the charge I never settled); I finally decided to face the consequences of my actions. It was time to face the music. After consulting multiple lawyers and also reading reviews, I chose to use Mace to represent my case. I am really happy I did. Not only did Mace help to CLOSE my first DUI, he was able to get my 2nd case classified as a lesser charge! And NO jail time!! I could not believe my ears when I heard it from him. He really helped me avoid my worse fear. Now, I am able to live life free of worry. I have definitely learned the hard way and my wallet hates me but I can say I will NEVER get behind a wheel drunk again. I HIGHLY recommend to use Mace to represent you in court. He will work hard to get his clients the best outcome possible. I am forever grateful for all the help Mace and his secretary, Teresa, have given me!

Personal Availability

When my son needed legal representation on short notice, I was given the name and phone number of Mace Yampolsky. Expecting to reach his answering machine at 8 am on a Saturday morning, I was surprised to be speaking directly with him in his home. He was very personable, calmed my concerns and outlin...ed a plan. Within 24 hours he was able to have my son's bond exonerated. We will continue to work with Mr. Yampolsky throughout this matter because we trust his experience and have seen his commitment to us as clients.

Atty. Mace to the Rescue!

It was a tough time for my family and I. We were extremely worried for our son who we felt was wrongly accused. Mace was able to help us navigate the justice system. He was reachable, knowledgeable, responsive to our questions and was able to allay our concerns. He walked us through what to expect. T...he experience was an ordeal but knowing our son had legal representation and had someone looking out for his interests, made us less anxious and more hopeful for a positive outcome. Mace is a good guy to have someone on your side! Highly recommended defense lawyer you can depend on and trust. Thank you Atty. Mace for saving our son.

Happy DUI client

Many years ago in passing Mace gave me his business card and on the back it had a list of "What to do if you get pulled over and you've been drinking". I kind of chuckled as I read them through, thinking them to be a peculiar point of "business", but certainly not thinking such a thing would ever ap...ply to me. I filed the card and made a simple mental note. Years later, I found myself in a position to need Mace's services, and more importantly at that particular moment… the recollection of that short list of "what to do". I followed what I could remember of those pointers and I'm very grateful I did as they helped me a great deal in my case with Mace later. I called Mace the moment I could. I had never been in trouble before this and never again since so I was terrified of the outcome. Mace not only saw through my case with the utmost of timeliness, compassion, and efficiency, but had my case completely dismissed and removed from my record. I had faith in him but never expected things to go this well. I am so grateful to have come in contact with Mace and to have known to call him when I needed it most. I have referred him to family and friends who have been in trouble in various capacities and they have all been very happy with his care and service as well. I recommend him for anyone who needs help and answers fast. - T.S. "Happy Client"
