Mark is a scholar and true warrior. Mark recently give a presentation on Shaken Baby Syndrome at a Texas Criminal Defense Lawyer's Association Seminar entitled "Junk Science." Mark explained how he obtained a Not Guilty verdict after cross examining the State's so-called Expert, and presenting Expert testimony of his own. For those of you who don't know, this seminar had top notch presenters from across the State, to include Attorneys and Experts. It is an honor to be invited to present at such a seminar. What I like about Mark the most is that he is personally invested in his clients. Mark is so feared by the Ellis County District Attorney (DA), that the DA submitted a Motion to a local Judge seeking a restraining order barring Mark from posting prayer requests for his clients on Facebook. The Motion was not ruled on by the Judge, but it does go to show how the DA does not have confidence in going up against Mark. In our industry, it is better to be feared, than loved.

Mark is never afraid to go to battle for his clients. I once had a bailiff tell me, "Mark just gets too emotionally invested in his clients." I see that as not only a good thing, but as something that defines Mark. I look forward to defending the citizens accused with Mark for years to come.

I have watched Mark Griffith go to battle for his clients, fighting for them like they were a member of his family. He is not afraid to stand up to the Government, and won’t back down from tough cases. Mark is tenacious, tough and not afraid. He is a trial lawyer, in the truest sense. He is the kind of lawyer that you want in your corner when it matters the most.

Mark is one of the best lawyers I know. It is always a pleasure to keep up with his cases and wins he notches. If Mark is representing you, you know you have the best.

I have never hired Mark to represent me, but I would. There is no more caring person on the planet and none with more capacity - and willingness - to fight. To me, the most telling characteristic of a great lawyer is caring about one's client. Lawyers who do not care for their clients lose. Lawyers who do care for their clients will go to any length to win. Mark wins. A lot. When I say I would hire this man to represent me, without hesitation, I am not exaggerating. He is just that good. As a man. As a lawyer. For the two are inextricably connected. Mark, it is a privilege to call you a colleague. Keep fighting, Brother.

I highly recommend Mark Griffith. He is one of the best trial lawyers in Texas. Mark is also a graduate of Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College and has the heart, passion and talent to fight and win cases for clients at jury trials. I first met Mark at the Trial Lawyers College when we worked on pending cases. I was impressed by his down to earth friendly nature, honesty and humility. These traits as a good human being are what allow a talented lawyer to establish a genuine rapport with a jury panel and to assemble a jury that will support his cause. Any client would be blessed to have Mark Griffith as his defense attorney.

Simply put, this lawyer inspires me to go to the office and do what we are asked to do in the representation of those accussed of crimes. The first time I met Mark, I knew I wanted this attorney to be my friend and someone to call on when I need advise on how to handle a case. I would not hesitate in referring a friend or family member to Mark. I STRONGLY endorse this lawyer.
