Proper Lawyering

I had just moved to Houston, was driving downtown, and accidentally turned the wrong way down a one way street. Subsequently, I was pulled over asked to take a breathalyzer test. As it was a no refusal weekend, I agreed, and unfortunately blew a 0.18. Mark was recommended to me as a lawyer who i...ntimately understood Texas' legal system and knew how to exercise shortcomings in State regulations. Mark intensively investigated my case and found inherent problems with the testing methodology utilized by Houston PD to obtain my breathalyzer test results. Ultimately, my case was dismissed. Mark was persistent, patient and extremely well informed. His dedication to his job and justice was second to none. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mark Thiessen Recommendation

Not only is Mark Thiessen an intelligent lawyer, but he also made an effort to make me feel comfortable in a very stressful time. He produces results and is honest throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.

Highly recommended

After being charged with a DWI, I went thru the whirlwind of vetting the well known lawyers in town. I can unequivocally say that in hindsight I made the absolute right choice. Mark was instrumental in vindicating me. He is very knowledgable, and will relentlessly fight for his clients. The entir...e time the due process was unfolding I always felt 100% confident in my legal representation.

If you're in trouble, you need him

I can't say enough good things about Mark. He strode into court like he owned the place, and with as expertly as he handled things he might as well have. It was a great feeling knowing that he was on my side. He is the ultimate lawyer and the only weapon you need if you're in trouble - he looks th...e part, acts the part, has no fear in doing what needs to be done for you, and deserves your complete trust and confidence. He's also an incredibly nice guy, and will treat you like you've been friends for years even if you've only just met. Mark was able to speed up the process and get me the best outcome possible. He made a painful situation a lot better. I would recommend Mark to anyone and everyone I know who needs a lawyer. You can't beat the service he gives and the results he produces. He is second to none in the knowledge he brings to your case and his ability to get things done. I have had some experiences with lawyers in the past that I did not trust and did not feel confident to have representing me. They treated me like a case number, and didn’t seem to care at all about the outcome of my case – when it was the most important thing to me and my future. That was never an issue with Mark. Mark will fight for you as if he's fighting for himself. I will never use another attorney. I really can’t say enough good things about him. He’s the best!

Dismissed Dismissed!!

As like with most, I've been pulled over for speeding, etc., but nothing as serious as like being arrested for DWI, especially when I wasn’t even driving when it happened! So you can imagine that I was scared out of my mind and was a total nervous wreck because I had no idea what was going on. I h...ad just finished dinner with my best friend and her husband after being diagnosed with a serious illness. I had a couple of drinks at dinner not thinking of what the effect of the new medicine that I was just prescribed would have on me. Well, come to find out, it made me so sick that I had to pull into and park at an empty lot because I felt like I was going to vomit all over myself. As I parked my car and was opening the door to do so, there were cops pointing their flashlights at me. I’m sure you can pretty much figure out what happened afterwards. At any rate, I was referred to Mark by a really good friend of mine. When I met with Mark, he asked me what had happened so I went through everything with him, after which he told me to let him do what he is best at – fighting for his clients and what I should be expecting in the coming months. I was agonizing over the whole ordeal because I was told by many of my friends who had hire lawyers for similar situations not being able to contact their attorney and always being left out of the loop, etc. If you are an anxious person who is always worried about something (as an old friend of mine would always say I was), then Mark is your man! He was always available by phone, text, email and always responded to all of my questions quickly. To be honest, I was very shocked to hear back from him even when he was at his Jujutsu practice so promptly. At every court date, the DA kept telling Mark that they would not dismiss my case. And since I know that I did not do anything wrong other than pulling over to get off the road so I don’t hurt anyone while trying to keep from vomiting all over myself, I told Mark, after careful thought and consideration and with the faith in Mark's competence in the back of my head, I was not going to take a plea and told him I wanted to go to trial. He said, great, that’s what I’m best at. We had a few more court resets after that. Finally at my last court appearance, Mark came to me and said lets go talk outside, at which time, he told me that the DA had decided to dismiss my case. I totally believe it was Mark's persistence and his strong commitment to his clients that got my case dismissed! When all of this started, I was told that my first step was to hire a lawyer. I did my research and eventually narrowed down my choices to two lawyers, both of which were referred to me by very good and close friends. But given Mark’s track record of being one of the best DWI lawyers in Harris County, even though it was tough decision between my two close friends' referrals, I chose to go with him. He put me at ease from day one and even though I was still scared and skeptical throughout my case, he and his great assistant made me feel secure every time I talked to them. I have recommended Mark to all my friends and family. I hope they (nor I again) will ever need his services, but if we do, I have no doubt he will take care of us! I had been waiting on my ALR hearing and was just told that it was also dismissed!! Thank you Mark!
