Mark Maciolek serves as counsel to Maciolek Law Group's Dane County office in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, focusing his practice on criminal defense throughout Madison, Green Bay and statewide areas. He handles both state and federal criminal matters while also maintaining a civil litigation practice across various court systems.
Since obtaining his admission to the State Bar of Wisconsin in 2005, Mr. Maciolek has dedicated his entire practice to litigation, representing clients in criminal defense cases ranging from white collar offenses to firearms and drug-related charges. His educational background includes a J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School in Madison and a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, providing him with deep knowledge of Wisconsin's legal landscape.
Mr. Maciolek's courtroom success includes notable victories against experienced prosecutors and established litigators. His recent achievements encompass securing dismissals of federal fraud indictments, obtaining jury trial acquittals for serious felony charges and successfully defending clients in civil battery suits. His ability to handle pre-charge investigations has resulted in prosecutors declining to file charges in complex cases involving insider trading and trade secret allegations.
Furthermore, Mr. Maciolek’s recognition includes selection for The Best Lawyers in America for white collar and general practice categories for 2024. His multilingual capabilities in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese enhance his ability to serve diverse clientele.
Mr. Maciolek holds extensive bar admissions across multiple jurisdictions, including the Supreme Court of the United States, various Wisconsin courts, federal district courts, bankruptcy courts and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit. His professional involvement includes membership in the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists.
Beyond criminal defense, Mr. Maciolek handles civil litigation matters in state, federal, and bankruptcy courts, though he excludes tenant-landlord disputes, family law and plaintiff personal injury cases from his practice. His comprehensive approach to legal representation combines trial advocacy with appellate work across both criminal and civil matters.
