The kind of lawyer you need on your side

When my husband found himself on the other side of the law with felony possession of a controlled substance, we weren’t short in flyers and letters we received from various law firms. I found Mark here and after all the great reviews I was confident that he would be the one to help us, and he by far ...met the expectations that I had for him. From what I heard from other lawyers this situation wouldn’t be behind us for several months, I was surprised when my husband came home and said case dismissed after only the 3rd court date with Mark! Absolutely no doubt a great man with a great heart that knows criminal law. Don’t look any further you found the perfect person for your defense! Don’t let lawyers tell you it takes time, because it will also take your money! Parking, fees, days off of work, you cant afford it! Mark even handled a case for him as a juvenile, felony as well and had that dismissed as well! These are the kind of results you want!

As parent's we don't always have the answers.........

My son (16yrs) was accused of rape by the parents of a girl (15yrs), who he had consensual sex with... Not knowing what to do, who to call....I was lucky enough to find Mark Bennett. Mr. Bennett saw us right away and did not waste any time on gathering information in reference to the false charges.... We think as parents we know what is best for our children but most of us don't know the law and what the duties are of the police. And if you don't handle a situation correctly it can effect the rest of your life. After leaving Mr.Bennett's office I knew I made the best decision on hiring his firm. In the end, the charges were dropped.....which, I strongly believe was a direct result of Mr. Bennett's quick actions and knowledge.

Exceptional Profound Professional

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 th...e 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 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 g...randdaughter. 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.
