Why would you choose anyone else?

My name is Michael & I'm a 19 year old college student with a big future ahead of him. Back in April of 2014 I chose to drive while intoxicated and I put myself in jail by doing so. My BAC was 0.16 twice the limit and I had very little hope for my future to come. Well in November of the same year, I ...went to court fearing that I would be put behind bars, put on probation, have a huge fine, or much worse. Well Mark managed to paint a beautiful picture to the Judge allowing him to acknowledge my age, future, and guilt. By doing so, the judge gave me 1 year license suspension, no fine, no jail time, no probation. Now leading up to the case Mark managed to keep me feeling positive about the outcome do to his confidence, attitude, ambition, knowledge, and frankly the man knew what he was doing. Needless to say, I'm very pleased that I chose Mark Theissen to represent me, as I would recommend him to anyone in the same troubles as I was.

Justified Propensity....

Mark Thiessen has not only earned but fully deserves his Super Lawyer status. He is known for his impeccable handling of DWI/DUI’s but I would without a doubt recommend Mark Thiessen for ANY criminal court matter. I initially retained another lawyer in a pinch based on a few positive online reviews ...and the promises that were made during an initial phone call and meeting. After some subsequently clouded and unpleasant conversations with that person as well as a lack of follow through; I spoke to, met with and hired Mark Thiessen immediately. The decision to go with Mark Thiessen was the absolute BEST decision I could have ever made!! He is organized, thorough and aggressively fights for his clients; he is not afraid to take cases to trial if necessary. He is professional, down to earth, informative, and calming without being condescending or belittling. He restores trust and faith to people in situations where those have been lost. In the end, he achieved the goal of getting my case dismissed and in turn he restored my faith in people and in life. These situations are not easy, not fun and are life altering, but with the right attorney by your side you can be made whole again. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for and Mark is worth every penny. Don’t waste your time with anyone else; to second guess Mark is the wrong decision plain and simple. I quickly learned from a bad first experience that a few good online reviews are not nearly enough. With Mark you don’t get a few reviews, you get volumes and volumes of glowing recommendations from person after person - this is not coincidence. Do your research and you will see his track record speaks for itself; do yourself a favor and set yourself up for a win the first time, every time!

Great Criminal Lawyer not afraid to fight

When Mark wasn't getting any more movement from the Ast. DA he wasn't afraid to go straight to the DA and ask for something better. It worked and I got a better outcome then what was ever on the table with the Ast. DA. A good fighter for the cause....

Houston's BEST DWI/DUI ATTORNEY!! HANDS DOWN, DO NOT HESITATE TO GO WITH MARK!!

To be caught in a DWI case is a very serious matter and endangerment to one's future. Initially, I had gone with another lawyer, but he actually recommended that I should go with Mark instead. To put it all in perspective, I was facing a dwi first offense with a 0.158 blood. I knew I had to fight... it because my future direly depended on it. Mark was very informative with the whole process. He is truly not afraid of going to trial. During my many times in court, I saw many pleas and lawyers that were afraid to try a dwi blood case, but not Mark. The reason why he is one of the, if not the, best DWI attorney in town is just that. All the way from his charisma to his courage, He will fight for you until the very end. As predicted, my case went to trial. It would have been an even scarier two days if Mark was not by my side. To be able to watch him in action is a work of art. His craft in trying cases is unmatched. Literally, there were other lawyers watching him so they could learn a thing or two. We had hired an expert for the defense and when Mark had the stage, it was very harmonious. It's almost difficult describing just how good Mark is. You can really tell that he has put in the effort to perfect his trade. He is like the Michael Jordan of trial lawyers. With Mark on your team, that's when your chances of winning are greatest. He caught the prosecution's witnesses lying multiple times and ultimately, the floor belonged to him. He just has the right characteristics of the type of people who are great in the respective fields. To tie everything together, God forbid you are ever caught in a DWI case, but if you are, Mark is the guy. There is no other way around it. You have to be completely honest with yourself and realize that this guy is the most winningest DWI lawyer in town. That, in itself, should be a testament to his work ethic, knowledge, and bravery. Trust me when I say this, that he WILL FIGHT for you. The prosecution objected to almost everything he wanted to bring out, but Mark objected to one thing only. That goes to show how he is able to set up the battlefield in the defense's favor.

TRULY IS A SUPER LAWYER AND WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR WHAT IS RIGHT.

I MUST SAY THIESSEN TRULY LIVES UP TO WHAT HE SAYS. I HAD HIRED HIM AFTER FIRING MY FIRST LAWYER AND WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS ABOUT SPENDING MONEY AGAIN. BUT MR THIESSEN ASSURED ME HE WOULD DO EVERYTHING TO FIGHT FOR ME. HE TREATED ME A Like A PERSON AND NOT Like A CRIMINAL. ALWAYS VERY AGGRESSIVE ...AND NEVER WANTED TO Take A SHORTCUT JUST TO GET THE CASE OVER. THERE WERE TIMES I WAS SCARED AND WANTED TO GIVE UP AND HE ALWAYS TOLD ME TO JUST HANG IN THERE AND NOT TO WORRY. HE WAS LIKE A BIG BROTHER. HAD FOUGHT THIS CASE FOR MONTHS AND THE END MY CASE WAS COMPLETELY DISMISSED. THAT WAS EVEN WITH THEM TAKING BLOOD AFTER I HAD REFUSED AGAINST MY WILL. MY FIRST LAWYER TOLD ME TO COP OUT LONG TIME AGO AND SAID I HAD NO CHANCE OF WINNING. ONCE AGAIN WOULD SUGGEST ANY ONE TO USE HIM AND THAT I PROMISE YOU WILL BE IN GOOD HANDS. TRULY IS A SUPER LAWYER.
