  • I recommend Mark Bennett.
  • I used Mark 1-3 years ago.
  • Mark handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

Customer review: I would, without a doubt or hesitation, recommend Mr. Bennett. He is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. Mr. Bennett has represented several family members in criminal and family law cases. He is impeccable. We first came to use Mr. Bennett is a family law matter following the birth of my granddaughter. He petitioned the court for support and visitation. Since that time, we have returned to court to obtain back child support and considered modification as the child gets older. At the time, my granddaughter was 2 yrs old. She is now 12. The attorneys we have consulted with, since Mr. Bennett’s primary practice now is in criminal law, have all commented on how wonderfully prepared the petition was. When we appeared before the Judge on the back child support issues, years later, even she commented on well preparated the original court orders were. On several other instances, Mr. Bennett has represented friends and family members in criminal cases. The most recent wherein the defendant was arrested and pleaded guilty so that his girlfriend and children would not be affected. The officer himself believed that the defendant was innocent but because of a plea of guilt, Mr. Bennett had to fight hard to prevent this young man from spending many many years in prison. Ultimately, the end result was the defendant was sentenced to very little, to no time in jail. Mr. Bennett fought tooth and nail and even convinced the DA to discuss this matter on his cell phone with the defendant’s mother. I have never heard or seen such a thing. Then in another instance, Mr. Bennett represented a defendant I referred to him in a child molestation case. Because the family members of the child were so convinced that the child and her mother had lied, again, Mr. Bennett fought this case to the end. He was able to prove that the child had lied and the case was ultimately dismissed before even reaching a courtroom. Mr. Bennett has proven his skills and knowledge of the law to my friends and family. We are very grateful for all his hard work and dedication.

  • I recommend Mark Bennett.
  • I used Mark 6-12 months ago.
  • Mark handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with more than 10 lawyers.

Customer review: Mark represented a member of my family. Aside from being very accurate in his assessment of the case, he was extremely responsive and had great communication with the client. The outcome was a good one. He is an empathetic attorney in a business that seems to cause cynicism in its participants. He is extremely bright, good at his job and a nice guy on top of that.

  • I recommend Mark Bennett.
  • I used Mark 1-6 months ago.
  • Mark handled my Federal Crime matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

Customer review: Mr. Bennett represented my brother in a federal case that was very trying and emotionally exhausting. He was extremly trusthworthy from the very first meeting and in the course of a year, during which the case was ongoing, he never failed to return a phone call on a timely basis (heck..usually always called back within 30 minutes). Although I was not the defendant, he nonetheless always kept me informed and ensured that as a family member I was kept informed throughout the entire case. I am thankful that we had Mr. Bennett on our side. I never expected that as our lawyer he would be so emotionally vested in the outcome. I truly felt that he was not only looking to win the case but he was looking out for the best interest of my brother and my family. Throughout the course of the trail Mr. Bennett was always willing to push the limits to ensure my brother got the best representation and to guarantee the entire truth was always presented to the jury. The outcome of our trial was favorable and we owe our gratitude to Mr. Bennett for his representation and relentless pursuit of justice.

Overall, I feel blessed that Mark Bennett was our attorney of choice. Although I hope to never need his services again (sorry Mark) I would not hesitate for one moment to recommend his services to anyone in need.

God Bless.

Customer review: Mark has an extremely high knowledge of current case law, tons of experience in the court room, and I have supreme confidence in his abilities as a trial lawyer. More importantly Mark treats you with respect as a human being understanding that you are probably going thru the most difficult time if your life. A trait sorely missing in the practice of law and one that sets him apart from other lawyers. Although my case is not yet resolved I have supreme confidence in his ability to procure justice in my case. Justice in my case will either be an aquital or a dismissal. A tall order. I have been recommending clients to Mark and will continue to do so. I am proud to call him a friend as well as my attorney.

  • I recommend Mark Bennett.
  • I used Mark greater than 3 years ago.
  • Mark handled my Federal Crime matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

Customer review: MY EXPERIENCE WITH MR. BENNETT AND HIS FIRM WAS A POSITIVE ONE BECAUSE HE AND HIS STAFF WHEN WAY BEHOND THEIR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. I KNOW HE DID HIS BEST TO DEFEND ME BUT UNFORTUNATELLY THE FEDERAL SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW FOR SOMEONE TO GO TO TRIAL AND DEFEND THEM SELF WITHOUT BEING EXTREMELLY PUNISHED IF YOU LOOSE.

  • I recommend Mark Bennett.
  • I used Mark greater than 3 years ago.
  • Mark handled my DUI / DWI matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

Customer review: I personally reviewed several lawyers in the last 6 years. I met with a little over 6 after researching the best of the best. Defense was my most concern, price was another factor. When it came down to a loved one, price was overlooked. In my first experience with Mr. Bennett, I was impressed from the beginning. This particular case was very sensitive and the final outcome was what I and our family expected. This was what we prayed for day in and day out.
My second experience came unfortunately only a few months later. I already knew I was in good hands and so did the good lord. My case was not as sensitive as my family members was but, still extremely as important to produce a positive outcome as our previous call for help. My case lasted a few months and final outcome was as I expected as well and was very pleased with Mr. Bennett's service. Since that time, I've had 5 close friends contact Mr. Bennett seeking his services. Two of the 5 jumped on board. One case has already been closed with the most extreme positive results. The other case is pending and so far all looks well and appears to be ending the same satisfying results we all assumed.
Communication is huge to me. I've been in sales for over 8 years and there's nothing more important to my clients than being able to reach me at all times. There's not been one occasion where I have not been able to reach Mr. Bennett personally or any of his professionals working with him. I count on him, trust him and will continue to request his services in the future. I hope to never have to call him for services because that would mean there's trouble in my life, my family or close friends, but it's such a good feeling to know I can simply pick up my phone and have such a strong defense on my side at any point in my life. I have kept in contact with Mr. Bennett even though I’ve had no recent issues. Thank god I haven’t had any issues with the law in the last two years, but I’ve still heard from Mr. Bennett several times from time to time checking up on me and wishing my family the best of blessing. Thank-you Mr. Bennett for all your services and your continued commitment and attention you’ve showed my family, myself and my friends.
Regards,
Houston, Texas Client

  • I recommend Mark Bennett.
  • I used Mark 6-12 months ago.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.

Customer review: I hired Mr. Bennett last year to represent me and my case. From my initial meeting to the conclusion of the case, Mark was deeply involved with my case, but went the extra mile to get to know me as a person. By doing so, his trust in me, and my trust in giving him the power to represent me, honestly made the outcome attainable in short fashion. His tenacious approach to the legal aspect, combined with his compassion for what I and my family were going through allowed him to succeed in a fashion that can only be described as this : a legal counselor whose experience with the court system and processes was matched by his personal approach and sincerity of knowing his client.
I truly felt in good hands from the onset of the case, however, I was extremely pleased with his approach to the case, and his representation of what was fair and right in the actual courtroom. His style and understanding of the law accelerated the case proceedings.

To sum up, expertise with full grasp of humanity. Mark believes that each person he has as a client is not another dollar in the account, but another person he has truly helped.

I would recommend Mark to anyone who wants not only an experienced lawyer with a high success rate, but a lawyer who takes the time to become personally involved with each case.
