New Years Eve I was arrested for unlawful restraint it's a misdemeanor. I didn't think much about it. I hired and attorney Cheryl Brown ex assistaint DA. I went to court with her five times on this charge. The fifth time she said take the $200 fine and be done with it today. I tolde her she was fired..., that was on a Friday. Monday I hired Mark Bennett. We went to court two weeks later and it was dismissed. If it had not been for Mark I would of lost my job and my career would have been over.

I was being charged with a Misdemeanor class B for possession of Marijuana. I am an illegal immigrant and I had a really high chance of being deported no matter what the outcome of the case would be. Before hiring Mark Bennett, another lawyer worked in my case but did not really provide me with any h...elp and I wasn’t comfortable with this situation. After doing a lot of research, I determined that hiring Mark Bennett would be a good decision and in fact it turned out to be the smartest decision I have made in my life. Mark was able to get my case dismissed and I am now in the process of getting my record expunged. I would recommend him to anyone! He has a great character and is a very professional person that will be honest with you about anything that can happen with the case, but most importantly he is a lawyer that cares about his clients. Thanks to Mark I do not have to worry about being deported or having a criminal charge permanently on my record. I will always be grateful for everything that he did for me and the peace he provided to me and my family.

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.

Our family has counted our blessings for Mark Bennett many times. We asked that he be our son’s attorney during a time and crisis when we did not know what to do. Our son was falsely accused of a crime while on active military duty in Texas. We (his parents) are from Indiana. We are just a “r...egular” mid-west family comprised of teachers, social workers and college students. We had no idea where to turn or what to do. I prayed that we would find someone who could be there for our son and guide us through all of that horror. It was very difficult, as we were half way across the country when our son was going through the most difficult time of his life. Mark was the answer to that prayer. We called him; HE answered the phone. I worked as a legal assistant for five years prior to teaching; attorneys do not normally answer the phone. In fact, most often they do not even return their own phone calls. I knew early-on that Mark was a good person and that he would do whatever he could to help us. He took care of our son in a way that no other attorney could have. He treated him with dignity and respect through the entire process of completely clearing him from the entire legal mess. Our son went through hell during that period of time; Mr. Bennett made things bearable. Our son was able to continue his service to his country during this difficult time, serving two tours of duty – one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan – during both of which he saved many lives. Mr. Bennett always kept in touch, answered e-mails, returned phone calls and worked hard to make sure that everything went smoothly. He was kind and considerate and served us in a manner that made us feel that he cared about our son and his future. He also helped two very worried, far-away parents believe that everything was going to be OK. Everything he did for our family is priceless.
