A real expert
At the recommendation of my local Yakima attorney I hired Mark Chmelewski to fight my traffic infraction. He is a known expert for traffic offenses. He makes no promises, which I think is wise, but he knows what to look for to win your case. If there is a way to win your case Mark has the experience ...

Minor in Possession, Dismissed
Our Son hired Mr. Chmelewski and made an excellent choice. It is a leap of faith to trust someone long distance and we have no regrets. Mark was so professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. He did not sugar-coat the situation but did everything in his power to put the best case forward and wa...

A True Professional
I have been a Seattle attorney for over 35 years. I hired Mark to represent my minor child in a Criminal-Traffic case.

Excellent defense attorney for speeding tickets
I searched for several attorneys able to take on my son's case in Douglas County, including some attorneys that I have used before for the same type of defense. Mr. Chmelewski took on my case and successful got it dismissed. A true professional.

Minor DUI
I hired Marc in May for a minor DUI and I couldn't have made a better decision! At the first meeting, Mark was very willing to listen to what I had to say along with any questions I had concerning what was going to happen in my case as well as being straight forward in a polite and respectful way. Ma...
"I endorse this lawyer. I recently had the opportunity to sit in on one of Mark's trials. I reserved enough time to see PTC, jury selection and the entire trial through verdict. I could go on about the details, but the most important things are that he had this jury before selection was finished, he was prepared for anything so I can tell that he worked very hard on this case before getting here. He knew all the facts and all relevant laws. He stood up and fought for his client. But most importantly, he appeared to have a great time doing it. I highly recommend Mark and his team."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mark is a very qualified attorney. He will work hard on your behalf and can handle complex criminal cases."
"Mark has over 20 years of courtroom experience. Having worked as a judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney, he understands the perspective of all parties involved to achieve results for his clients. I encourage you to call him if you are charged with a DUI, criminal, or traffic offense in Kittatas, Grant, Yakima, Chelan, or Douglas county."
"A highly competent and experienced attorney. I would refer family, friends and clients to Mark without hesitation."
