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.

The BEST DUI Attorney in Houston!

Mark Thiessen is one of the most responsive and knowledgeable DWI attorneys in Houston and will absolutely do what needs to be done to get the job done! The first time I met Mark was the day after my DWI when he met me at his office (on a Saturday morning) on extremely short notice. He had prior pe...rsonal engagements that day as well as the following week/weekend and not only was he always available to me - night or day (sorry, Mark : ) ) - but, as I had never been through anything like this before, was extremely patient, understanding and informative. I met with multiple (five) attorneys prior to hiring Mark and chose him primarily because he was the one that ALL five knew and respected. Now that all is said and done I simply could not imagine having gone through this with anyone else. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable but the personal level of care and availability that he offers and his "get it done" attitude are truly not only something that one in this situation would hope for in an attorney but that really make such a difference when going through something like this (on one of my court dates he had EIGHT clients in different courts and still found time to spend time with me after). I just can't say enough - thank you so much, Mark for all you did for me - I just can't even find words to describe how grateful I am for all you did!

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!

Excellent Attorney

Mark represented me in my case and was awarded a not guilty verdict. Mark is not only a great attorney, but also a good friend and classmate. He handled my case with the upmost integrity and pursued the prosecution with diligence from start to finish. His uncanny ability to read and relate to the ...jury and make sure the truth comes out is truly remarkable. I believe that Mark is one of the best DUI attorneys in the city and has a long and bright future!

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.
