I had the unfortunate experience of being arrested on felony for impeding the breath of a family member. After research, my family employed the services of Mark Bennett who got the charges dismissed. When you have a serious charge like this, you need the best and I highly recommend Mark Bennett....

After being accused of "verbal harassment," I spoke with Mark. From the outset I felt he would truly fight for my rights rather than push the case quickly through the legal system. He displayed an incredible amount of knowledge, intelligence, and empathy. These characteristics put me at ease and inst...illed a solid sense of trust. After six court dates reaching three months and patiently waiting for the prosecution to build a case, Mark chose the perfect opportunity to strike. He spoke with the judge and quickly had my case dismissed. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I hired him to defend me, and he did just that. Any questions or concerns I had during and after the trial he addressed immediately with a thoughtful nature and this kept me sane during a very stressful time. With so many options, I feel extremely lucky I found such great representation.

I was visiting the state of Houston for a family members wedding & unfortunately got myself into a bit of trouble... was accused of passing bad money & charged with a felony. Being that I'm from out of town and had no Idea where or who to turn to, a friend of the family recommended Mark & after meet...ing with him I had no doubt in my mind that he was the guy for the job. He made me feel very comfortable and expalined every possible outcome... I had never been arrested before and the entire procedure was very new to me. In the end Mark had made all the right moves & my case was dismissed.... The man is a quality human being who cares about his clients, I would recommend him to my best friend or brother if they needed his help!

Trusting your future, life and career into someone’s hands is very nerve wrecking; however, it was not long after I dealt with Mark that those fears dissipated and I realized that I couldn’t have made a better choice. Mark is simply the best ethical attorney money could ever hire. He is sincere and... honest, he will fight for you, but more importantly, Mark will motivate you to fight for yourself. One of Mark’s greatest attributes that I learned is how to become a realist and how to focus on facts that dismissed my cases. A valuable lesson for anyone who seeks an attorney, it is a given that you can’t fight your case without a skilled caring attorney such as Mark to be on your side; however, no matter how skilled your attorney is, do not expect him to fight your case all by himself; you must do your share to help him in this fight, it takes more than one person to beat the many others on the opposing end.

Once you have been charged with a criminal offence, guilt or innocence is not a factor in how your case is resolved. The judge & the prosecution will treat you as a criminal regardless of whether you did the crime or not. The American legal system is adversarial and like a sporting event, where two s...ides are in direct competition, both groups are fighting for a win – you verses the judicial system. Their goal is to convict you of a crime regardless of the actual events that transpired – reality is not mandatory nor is it a factor. Until you get to trial, the only one who will assume your innocence is your attorney. The judge will restrict your rights to the point of imprisonment or setting draconian limits on your freedoms, based only on the charge of guilt. The prosecution assumes you are guilty and will use all available means to intimidate you into confessing your guilt – AKA Plea Bargain. These are the facts of the system you are facing. Having recently gone through this ordeal I wish to share the following insight on this subject. Once charged with a criminal offence, choosing an attorney is one of the many tasks that must be done if one wants real justice as provided in the U.S. Constitution – without an attorney you will be convicted as charged if for no other reason than protocol. When looking for an attorney one of the daunting chores is wading through the vast number of attorneys available along with the lack of ways to rate their honesty, ability, or the dedication they may give your individual case. Based on my experience (asking friends, family and searching the internet) the specifically sincere reviews of previous clients on the internet were the primary source for my list of candidates. Mark Bennett, based on these reviews, was on top of my list. After a very positive no charge interview Mr. Bennett was the clear choice for me. As such, I wish to give those of you in the same situation a resounding affirmation that Mr. Bennett is “The Man” when it comes to criminal legal representation. From my experience with Mr. Bennett, I can testify that he is a very personable gentleman who happens to be an honest, direct and extremely knowledgeable attorney. During our first meeting, Mr. Bennett was clear that he would prepare the case for trial and plea bargain was not the goal. He stood his ground during the case and gave excellent counsel on the offers from the Sates. I was charged with a DWI and my case was dismissed the day of trial because Mr. Bennett stood strong and forced the opposition (District Attorney) to try and prove their case. If I had accepted one of the many Plea Bargains offered, I would have admitted to a crime I didn’t feel I committed. If you want a truly dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer who will fight for you rights to the bitter end, then I whole heartedly recommend Mr. Mark Bennett. Good Luck on Your Case and God Bless Gerald I. Houston, Texas
