At the Top of His Game - Professional

A family member recently needed Mark's help. He was very quick to react, meet us in person prior to court and answer all of our questions. He is direct, compassionate and well connected in his professional community. We needed a dismissal for future employment backgound checks and that's what he go...t us. I wasn't bargain shopping when it came to a tough crisis like this and believe you get what you pay for. Kay Cook

immediately responsive

I was shocked and frustrated recently when I tried to find a criminal lawyer after being arrested for a Class C misdemeanor. As though spending even one minute in the city jail was not punishment enough, none of the attorneys I contacted would speak directly to me, even though I was actively trying ...to pay them money to represent me. Instead, I was forced to try to explain my worries and concerns regarding my case to receptionists and legal assistants, all of whom were dismissive and obviously did not care. With my impending court date fast approaching and still without the benefit of speaking to an actual lawyer, I was lucky to locate Mr. Bennett's contact information on the internet. I called a little after 8:00 in the morning, and was able to speak with him immediately about my case, at length, even though he generally handles cases much more serious than mine. If you have been arrested and need a lawyer, no matter how trivial you think your case may be, you should hire Mark Bennett. Being accused of a crime is a serious problem, and it requires the help of a knowledgeable professional. Having your lawyer listen to your concerns and allay your fears is priceless, and Mark was able to do both for me.

great lawyer

Mr. Bennett is a great lawyer. I would recommend him to anyone who doesn't want to risk losing their case. Very intelligent, knowledgeable, and well known, I was confident in his ability right away. He was very thorough and worked with me to achieve an outcome I was satisfied with. He was not afr...aid to go to trial but discussing my cases with the prosecution was where his talents really showed. He made me feel very comfortable asking questions and contributing my opinions and ideas. He knew how the court and jury usually look at facts and technicalities and didn't rely on one fact or piece of evidence to base the case but had multiple arguments in my defense. Went above and beyond to help me square a few things away not related to defense and seemed to me like he truely wanted to help me. I am confident with mark and would call him again if the need should arise.

EXCELLENT

Excellent at returning calls sometimes almost immediately and never with a 24hr turn around. I never had unanswered questions. Very blunt; straight forward with expectations for the outcome of the case. Always followed through with appointments without reschedules. We would definately recommend!

Client Review

I hired Mark to represent me on a Felon in possession of a weapon charge. This guy was very good. He was always on top of things invovling my case. This guy plays no games. Mark would always talk to prosecutors anytime we went into the courtroom together. Mark gathered all proper evidence on behalf o...f my case and then put it into a package and sent it directly to the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury NO-BILLED my case. I did not even have to go back to court. I only had two court dates with this guy. He really impressed me. It is like the case never even existed. I was also on parole so I was very nervous. Mark even referred me to a very good parole attorney. I was so nervous thinking I was going to go to trial. Two Police officers word against mine. You know how that is. Mark got this thing taken care of without even having to go to trial. Like I said the Grand Jury gave me a NO-BILL. They would not even pursue the case. I have already told my friends about Mark Bennett. He always answered my phone calls when I called him and also answered any questions I had. He also got my i-phone back that disappeared when the police took me into custody. I would definitely recommend hiring this attorney.
