Want to be defended like you're defending yourself? Hire Mark W. Bennett

I found Mark Bennett just like you will, online. I was desperate, searching for that someone I could trust to listen and execute while keeping regular communication with me through the entire ordeal. So I searched and read review after review. His and others, and I read Mark’s entire site. I met with... some 5-6 of the most powerful criminal attorneys in Houston. I chose Mark, and you will too. There are key differences between Mark and even some of the most prominent attorneys in Houston, i.e (DeGueirn, etc). 1. Mark has never been a prosecutor (D.A.) this is important because he doesn’t think like one. He’s not looking at what the DA knows to be true (evidence), he’s thinking like you, what can he do to get you off? And because he’s never been a DA he hasn’t had to experience the coldness of sending innocent people to jail because hey, it’s the system or it’s just his job. 2. Mark takes care of you HIMSELF. He doesn’t treat himself like he’s all the attorney that HE REALLY IS and send you to his second help who is some rookie. No, he wants to fight himself and he, himself wants to get you off. So on his contract its states that he only takes so many clients at a time so he can give each a great deal of concentration. It also states chances are he told someone no to tell you yes. No number game with Mark, it’s a life game for him. It’s all about winning! 3. Mark has a great deal of respect and prominence in the courtroom. I felt secured. He is such a serious man he literally changes the vibe of the courtroom when he walks in. What he wants he get, period. Ok, so my experience is I was charged with Deadly Conduct with a Firearm-Habitation sometime in November 2012. Mark quickly got efforts on the streets to find out the truth by comparing stories with witnesses and myself. Mark called the Assistant DA the day after I retained him to ask her to dismiss the case because of its inconsistencies. By February 2013 my case was dismissed due to results of excellent investigation by given to the Assistant D.A. by Attorney Mark Bennett. So not only was the case dismissed, I didn’t deal with headache long, compared. God Bless You, Mark Bennett!

When your life is on the line, this is the person to call.

I needed a criminal defense attorney and Mark came recommended by close, personal friends within the legal industry. Whether you are experiencing the consequences of a momentary lack in judgement, a victim of circumstance or have a troubled past, when your life is on the line this is the guy to call.... The Kafkaesque nightmare will not disappear but you can have piece of mind that you have retained qualified, quality representation and he will prepare for your fight as if it were his own, should he choose to take your case. It's worth the call to see. He personally answered his phone on a holiday weekend, my first appointment was on the actual holiday itself and he worked diligently throughout the course of the proceedings. He does not take every case, he can't...he is too hands on for that type of legal representation. I appreciated his vast and intricate knowledge of his craft. You will not get a guarantee of a result because there are no guarantees in life, Virginia. But you will get what you pay for and what you are paying for is top notch legal representation. He is worth every penny, plus some. I value my life and my freedom. There is no price I could put on that. Not only would I recommend Mark but when I had a good friend (a grown man, Texan, professional engineer with a great job and amazing family) get into stupid, nonsensical, high stakes trouble in Georgia, I called Mark to refer a top professional in that state, with expertise in that county to replace the underperforming attorney he retained under the duress of the circumstance. He made a quality recommendation. Mark can represent you at a county, state or federal level. That's a unique skill set and a testament to his ability. I highly recommend.

Excellent Federal Criminal Attorney

Excellent attorney. Mr. Bennet took my case and worked with me for 2 years in a federal case. He charged one flat fee and was available for me day and night. Mr. Bennett is very knowledgeable in the federal criminal system and is well respected by all federal agents I came in contact with.

Assault w/Bodily Injury - Case DISMISSED!

When I first learned that I was in a lot of trouble and needing a lawyer, I searched for top defense attorneys in Houston. As soon as I found Mr.Bennett I knew he was the one for me. I called him the second I got out of court and was able to speak to him directly right away. From the very first time ...I sat down in his office I knew I had made the right choice hiring him. He took very good care of me and my case from start to finish. He listened to everything I had to say and kept in touch with me constantly. He was so aggressive with the prosecution that after we decided to go to trial, they dismissed my case simply because they knew they couldn't beat us. He did everything he could for me and if it wasn't for him I'd probably be stuck with probation right now. Thanks to Mark, I am free of all this nonsense. I will definitely be calling him if I am ever in need of another defense attorney. Mark is more than a lawyer that you hire, he treats you like a friend that he genuinely cares about. In my opinion that is very important when choosing an attorney. He was very informative, and was behind me 100% with whatever decisions I made. I am truly grateful for everything he has done for me, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of an amazing lawyer.

A gentleman among lawyers.

Facing a charge would would likely harm my career, I searched high and low for an advocate. I called and interviewed several attorneys, but only Mark shot me straight. After talking with him further and reading his blog, I decided that I would hire him. I was not disappointed to say the least. My cas...e was dismissed and Mark is currently in the process of having the records expunged. He personally answered and returned my calls and made me feel like my case mattered to him. I would recommend this guy to my best friend in a heartbeat.
