CONSUMATE PROFESSIONAL

I was referred to Mark by a mutual friiend- Mark met with me, heard my side of the situation and took my case-- He manuvered through the legal machine in Harris county and kept me informed through it all- Mark often took my calls after regular business hours-and was always attentitive and showed gen...uine concern for me !!-- Mark never steered me wrong and was always truthful about the situation--he never made false promises or claims-- Mark is by far the best attorney I have ever used !

Thiessen's commitment and knowledge got a dismissal before trial

Unlike so many of the other lawyers I met with who seemed to only say what I wanted to hear, Mark told me, "I can't promise you an outcome. What I can promise you is my experience and how hard I'll work for you." True to his word, Mark worked tirelessly on my case, which I knew to be one of his easie...st cases at the time. Even considering it was an easy case, Mark never slowed down and never backed off. He came at my case with the tenacity of a prizefighter, and (judging from the other stories) I'm not the only one. He always took the time to explain everything that was happening to someone like me, who is a complete stranger to the legal system. Bottom line: if you are unfortunate enough to be going through a DUI/DWI case, you need this man on your team. Mark, all I can say is, "thank you, thank you, thank you." You were not only knowledgeable and tenacious, but you were also personable at a time that wasn't the easiest.

2nd DUI but no problem for Mark Thiessen

I had been charged with a DUI when I was in college almost 13 years ago so you can understand why I was a nervous wreck when I was arrested for my second one. The arrest wasn't the worst part either! I had had an accident that evening and damaged some property as well. I knew I was in trouble and I n...eeded an attorney. I knew of Mark's reputation of being one the best up and coming DUI lawyers in Houston but I still thought I didn't have a chance in hell. I was wrong as 5 months later, I received a " Not Guilty" verdict and it was like it never happened. Mark's words from the very beginning were" You paid me so let me do what I do best"... and that is kick butt in the courtroom. Mark is not only extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the DUI law but he is a natural in the courtroom. You can't help but like him whether you are a judge, jury member or even a district attorney. I had never been to trial before and I felt extremely confident with him on my side. I was recommended to him by a friend and I would definitely recommend him to any friend, a family member or even a complete stranger because he is that good.

Better than all the rest

Mark Thiessen is simply the best DUI/DWI attorney in all of Texas. I was back in college about to graduate when I got pulled over twice for DWI's in consecutive months. Nowadays I think of the consequences that could have incurred if it had not been for Mark Thiessen being my lawyer. He reviewed b...oth of my cases with a keen eye and found errors in each one, and both were dismissed before ever going to trial! If you have a DWI or DUI I would say going with Mark Thiessen as your attorney should be the easiest decision you will ever make. He is trustworthy, highly respected amongst his peers, and will try 110 percent to clear your name. There really should be no thought about it, HIRE MARK THIESSEN AS YOUR ATTORNEY TODAY and your fuuture will be brighter tomorrow!

No One Else to Call...

Mark Thiessen represented me in my 2007 DWI case. It was my second; and I refused to answer questions or perform any roadside tests, which meant I had a tough road ahead of me. I initially went with a different attorney, but a good friend suggested I speak to Mark and hear his take on the cas...e. After listening to Mark explain his strategy with such knowledge and confidence; I was sold and made the change to have him represent me. Mark’s courtroom demeanor and personality are unmatched. Mark’s close working relationship with the courts is an immense asset for him. After several resets, Mark found an error in the officer’s report and had my case dismissed. Mark’s high-win percentage, as recently reported in the Houston Press, speaks for itself. I have, and will continue to recommend Mark to my friends and others who have had to deal with this unfortunate situation. If you’ve been arrested for DWI, there really is no one else to call.
