DUI and DWI 50%

In Texas DWI is a crime that requires a knowledgeable defense lawyer to provide good representation. Often times DWI is a tougher crime to defend than much more serious and violent crimes because of the scientific knowledge the lawyer must possess. It is crucial to find a defense lawyer who is aggressive, up to date with all current case law and regularly goes to trial in DWI cases to find the best possible representation for your case. Mark Lassiter provides that type of representation.

A Legal Scholar

I was facing serious Federal charges and starting to feel hopeless. That's when I found Mr. Lassiter, a criminal defense attorney who could handle a complex legal criminal case. He went above and beyond my expectations, working tirelessly to investigate my case and challenge the prosecution's argumen...ts. Mr.Lassiter has a deep understanding for the law and fights hard to protect his clients rights. Consequently, he is able to achieve outstanding results where other lawyers simply cannot. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a Federal criminal defense attorney I highly recommend Mr.Lassiter.

The best of several I've tried.

So here you are looking into attorneys. You have my sympathy. Whatever has gone wrong in your life can be difficult to fix. In my case, kids getting into drugs. It starts small and keeps growing until you find yourself looking for attorneys. Along the way, I used multiple other attorneys. ...I haven't written a recommendation for any of them. For me, Mark was a shot in the dark where I believed, after speaking with him, that he would likely result in a more favorable outcome. Well, my belief in Mark turned out to be extremely well founded. Further, he has several additional qualities that make working with him a pleasure. He is always patient explaining options, "what if" scenarios, and likely outcomes. My experience has shown him to be a superb negotiator as well. To sum it up: if you need a criminal attorney, I believe Mark will be a pleasant surprise. Good luck with your case.

The attorney I would recommend for any DWI charge

If you are looking for legal assistance with a DWI charge, I would highly recommend Mark Lassiter. I was charged with DWI some time ago and did not know what to do. My friends and co-workers had never brought up this subject and due to the personal humiliation of the circumstances, I did not feel t...hat I could approach them either. Thus, I was left to search Google websites for attorneys who handle cases of this nature when I came across Mark Lassiter’s website. I was extremely impressed. I made contact with him with the normal trepidation of retaining an unknown individual for such a sensitive personal matter. Little did I know at the time of my good luck. Ultimately Mark Lassister obtained a most favorable resolution for my case. During the course of this process, a couple of attributes I discovered about Mark Lassiter are as follows: • He was very capable, and never lost focus of my case and best interests • He was easy to talk to and actually listened and responded to the pros and cons of my standpoints • He is a very personable and energetic person who was commited to getting the most favorable resolution for me Inasmuch, I am sure that your retention of Mark Lassiter will result in a most beneficial partnership and the very best of results for you in your case.

Highly Recommended

I would like to make strong recommendation of Mark Lassiter based on my experience when I recently retained him for a felony DUI charge. I chose Mr. Lassiter on a personal recommendation of another client who spoke very highly of their experience with him. From start to finish, Mr. Lassiter was a ...pleasure to deal with both in his professionalism and his confident demeanor. His experience with DUI was evident from my first meeting with him and I retained him on the spot. As a former attorney, I had a good idea what I was looking for and I felt confident that Mr. Lassiter fit the bill. My experience did not disappoint. The case proceeded through the hearings exactly as Mr. Lassiter had described as the likely scenario in my initial consultation with him. Throughout the ordeal, Mr. Lassiter’s communication was timely and his turnaround on questions quick. At no moment did I ever question that I had hired exactly the right attorney for my defense. The result was the dismissal of my case and I am awaiting the statutory time frame to get my record expunged. I could not have been more satisfied with my representation in this matter.
