Mark Dean Meisinger

On September 22nd, 2013 I was stopped for an outdated tag. I was just pulling out of a bar parking lot at 2AM where I had around 4 16oz beers after playing a show. Being a rather nervous individual, I basically admitted to drinking far more than I actually had. I was put in jail and basically gave... up at that point. I did not think I had the slightest chance of getting out of this DWI. I had a child on the way and I fearful of the financial implications my family and I were now facing. I interviewed a number of attorneys and one was even pulled my police report, but none of them offered any bit of confidence that I would be able to get out of this predicament. Many of them called themselves the “DWI Attorneys of Texas”, but said that my .08 (yes .08) was probably only good for pleading guilty. The total to that pleaded guilty would also be well over $6,000 for attorney fees and up to $15,000 to go to trial. A friend of mine had recommended Mr. Meisinger. I called him and told him about my case and immediately he said “Not Guilty!” He went into great detail and explained everything that would happen. He explained his very reasonable fees and gave me options. He explained it to both my wife and I how this entire process would work. There was not one surprise throughout entire process! Whenever I had a question, he was more than happy to answer – and always answered the phone (more importantly he will remember your name too!) After winning the ALR hearing, the case went to trial as the prosecutors were very unreasonable and only offered DWI offenses. When I walked into the courtroom during trial, I had the utmost confidence that no matter what, he was going to get me the best deal possible. During the trial, he continuously poked holes in their case against me. I watched as he remained confident, whereas the prosecutors realized they were failing and that their evidence against me only helped me. After 6 hours of deliberation, and snide remark from the prosecutors that “Denton County doesn’t make deals”, they dropped all DWI charges and I was left with very minimal deferred probation on a much lower offense. In just a short time, I will be completely free of the system. I give Mr. Meisinger the highest recommendations to be your attorney. Chances are, if you are a first time offender, you made the ultimate mistake of trying to reason with the cops. It’s OK; he will do damage control and get you back on your feet (without robbing you blind). They will try very hard to get you in and out and either get your money or make a criminal out of you. They prosecutors will not be nice or lenient. They will start at the worst and only give you the second worst. Mr. Meisinger will fight for you as if he was fighting for himself, and in return get you the best possible outcome! Don’t make the mistake of trying to handle this all alone or by going to a turn-style attorney. Give yourself the best chance possible and have Mark battle this out for you.

I was arrested for holding a sign that read: [ POLICE AHEAD ] in Frisco, Texas. I attempted to represent myself in the beginning and was being stonewalled, basically not able to do much without knowing my options. Prosecution recognized this and took full advantage while they could. It was a VERY fru...strating situation to be in until Mr. Meisinger stepped up and took over. There were things that could be done in my defense that I was totally unaware of. Mr. Meisinger is DEFINITELY for the people and takes his cases very serious. He is extremely thorough and actually takes the time to explain options and possible outcomes, takes the time to listen and explain things in terms that any average person could understand. When it came time to submit a letter of representation in court, it was like the Prosecution immediately acknowledged the fact that they could no longer "play games" and moods changed. I did not realize how quickly a case could be dismissed (5 minutes- if that!), but he filed a motion and the Judge dismissed the case right then and there! He was very confident and professional with the proceedings. The Prosecutor was shocked at the quickness in which the tables turned and the case was won in my favor and tried a last stitch effort to intimidate by asking the Judge about possibly re-filing in open court. Mr. Meisinger immediately voiced the fact that he represents me now and that he will take the case all the way to supreme court if they attempt to bully me any further! I don't know how to express the sense of relief that gave me! I am so thankful that I decided to have Mark represent me as I am confident that without him, Prosecution would have done everything they could have done to take advantage of my Self-Representation status. THANK YOU TREMENDOUSLY MARK!!
