Chris Hesse, Criminal defense Attorney

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.
