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!

I recently needed an attorney to represent me in a Domestic Violence case. I had narrowed my search to Mr. Bennett and one other attorney after researching them extensively. The first attorney I met with left me with a feeling of uncertainty. After meeting with Mr. Bennett, there was no doubt that he... was the one I wanted representing me. He has extensive knowledge of the laws and took the time to answer any questions that I had concerning them. He always kept me informed, and explained what was next in the process. We always communicated before each court date, and before court started on the scheduled dates. He even answered some questions I had that were not related to this case. Everyone I met in his office was professional and helpful. Through Mr. Bennett, I was able to reach an agreement with the court that did not involve a trial. I met a woman the last time we were in court who said that she had a family member that was accused of a similar offense, and was there to find out how the process worked and watch how different attorneys conducted themselves. She noticed how Mr. Bennett conducted himself, and asked me in the hall what my opinion of him was. I explained to her how Mr. Bennett had helped me, and I had no reservations in recommending him. If you are in a position where you need to hire a defense attorney, give Mr. Bennett a call. His experience and knowledge are obvious when you meet with him, and even more so in a courtroom.

Mark is one of the few attorneys here in Houston that you absolutely have to consider for your representation. Mark doesn't guarantee that he will obtain the favorable outcome that you want to obtain when you've been accused of a crime, but I WILL guarantee you that you can rest easy once you have hi...m on your team. He knows how to work the system and he will do the work you expect him to. That says a lot nowadays when attorneys are out to maximize there hourly rates by disposing of your case as quickly as possible. Mark does not have a huge volume of clients and therefore you are assured to have him work on your case as much as is needed to help you obtain a favorable decision on your case('s). Before I hired Mark, I witnessed first hand what other attorney's will do when they don't really care about whether or not you have your freedom. I had originally interviewed Mark after I was charged with one misdemeanor family assault and one felony evading in Harris County, but I felt he was too expensive and I thought I could get by with a cheaper defense. I screwed up an hired a guy off the Internet that advertised himself as the best affordable attorney in Houston. What a load of crap....that guy was horrible. Within two weeks I found my misdemeanor case being enhanced to a felony. Anyway, he seriously screwed me but I'll explain that on his review. Needless to say, I fired the guy and went back to Mark to please help me on my cases. I was very surprised he even wanted to touch them because of the wreckage the other attorney had caused but he accepted and didn't charge me anymore than what he originally quoted me. I felt a sense of ease after hiring Mark, after 3 weeks of going thru hell with that other bird brain as my counsel. I knew I was in much better hands with Mark. The other attorney had tried to get me to accept a plea on my charges that included a lot of jail time and 3 years of un-adjudicated probation following. All for two things I didn't do. Mark said no absolutely not, I'm going to try to get these no-billed by a grand jury and at worst we go to trial on both of them. That's another great thing about hiring Mark...his flat fee that you pay up front means you have already paid for your trial should it come to that. It really helps to put your mind at rest because you know that you have a darn fine lawyer that's in it with you for the long haul. It means a lot when your are facing serious penitentiary time, as I was facing 2-10yrs on both counts. So, long story shortened a little...5 weeks and 2 court dates and a grand jury presentation by the state and re-butted by Mark, and I find out last Monday that my cases had been "NO-BILLED" by the Grand Jury! Both of them. I don't know what Mark did in the room that day, but I will be forever indebted to him for providing me with my freedom. In closing, Mark is not only at the top of his craft, but he cares about your freedom. He absolutely believes it is his duty to keep you from spending your life in a cage like a zoo pet. If you are facing serious charges that could ruin your life and everything you have achieved, Mark needs to be the person you 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.

This is long overdue (I thought I had posted this when it had occurred , but clearly did not). Mark helped our son get out of a couple of scrapes involving his vehicle. One incident involved a high profile attorney's daughter where we live. Even though we lived outside the Houston area, Mark was ab...le to help us get to a good place with these events. No charges were filed on either side and a resolution was reached. I would reccomend Mark to anyone who needed a lawyer's help.
