Mark Thiessen saved my life and career from evil wife

I wanted to thank Mark Thiessen for all of his help. He is truly an excellent lawyer with a natural desire to win and his aggression in the court room is amazing. If you want your case to be dismissed or strike fear in the prosecution Mark is the right lawyer to hire. He is the best lawyer in houston... by far and he has many great years ahead of him. My wife made a fake charge against me to support her divorce case and Mark was able to expose her for the conartist she is. The jury was very convinced by Mark and the prosecution had no chance after 10 minutes into the trial. I thank god I met him and I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get charges against them reversed. Mark is extremely professional and organized and he will fight for you no matter what.

Best Lawyer Ever Hands Down

Was arrested for DWI and was referred to Mark for help. He stood by me the entire time, and one day before trial, he got the case dismissed! He is the absolute best lawyer ever, and he has the most ethics and stand up personality there is. I cannot say enough great things about Mark, and I appreciate... all he has done for me in my time of need.

DWI .25 Blood Test

After exhausting all options, my lawyer recommended that I hire Mark Thiessen as the prosecution was not budging. I honestly didn't think I had much of chance of winning as they had a .25 blood test but I am CPA and I didn't want to lose my license therefore I hired Mark. The prosecution still would ...not work a deal so we went to trial. Mark is a true expert when it comes to DWIs as he was able to out argue the prosecution in everything they threw at him. He also poked several holes during cross examination of the nurse who administered the blood and the arresting officer. The arresting officer admitted at the end of cross examination that I did not lack the mental or physical capabilities to drive which meant he didn't have probable cause to arrest me. The case was thrown out the next day due to this. I honestly believe that Mark is the most talented person I have ever met any profession. Although not cheap, I believe he is worth every penny and I would have even paid more.

The Best Choice

I was arrested for DWI in March of last year. I am a young professional who's never been in trouble a day in my life before this happened to me. I honestly thought I was doomed after a .17 breath test. A friend recommended a short list of lawyers to me who I all met with. I ended up going with Mark a...fter reading all of the great reviews on him and checking out his impressive list of notable victories. From the beginning Mark was adamant that we should go to trial which gave me hope. I had to wait 11 months before my day in court but thanks to Mark's expertise my case was dismissed mid-trial! Watching him question all of the officers that testified at my trial was seriously amazing. Once you see him in action you see how skilled, charismatic, and talented he is. He was able to show how none of the officers knew what they were talking about and how many mistakes they made. Because of this my case got dismissed and didn't even have to go to the jury to decide my fate. I honestly have doubt any other lawyer could have gotten me these results. I would without a doubt say Mark is the best DWI lawyer in Houston. I asked A LOT of questions, and Mark was always patient and very responsive to me. I could call/text him anytime I had questions. I am soooo glad to finally be putting this behind me. He really got me my life back. Mark, you the real MVP!

MARK THIESSEN GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK!!

I was charged with a DWI April of last year. I had a breath test result of 1.4 and 1.6. Twice the legal limit!! I was worried and scared about losing my freedom and of having a criminal charge follow me around for the rest of my life!! My husband found Mark Thiessen by Google searching " THE BEST DWI... ATTORNEY IN HOUSTON" ! And I can honestly say that title is more than fitting! Mark was educated on not only the Science and procedure behind my DWI arrest, but he knew all of the individuals and had personal relationships ( from his many previous DWI cases in Harris county ) with both the arresting DWI task force officer as well as the Expert :breath test machine witness , brought by the DA before the jury. His candid exchange with these individuals on the stand was damning to say the least!! His experience was invaluable in my jury trial! But what set Mark apart from other attorneys in my mind , was the passion in which he fought my case! From the day I hired him, to the day I was found NOT GUILTY by a jury of my peers, he fought passionately at every turn for my freedom!! He never backed down to the DA and their immoral and corrupt practices!! He stood in that courtroom and fought for my future : the way I would have, the way a friend or family member would have!! He made it clear both thru his words as well as his actions that losing was NOT AN OPTION!! I cannot say enough good things about Mark! But if you are reading this now, and wondering who YOU should hide to defend you and YOUR future ....YOUR freedom... I honestly believe you need look no further!! Let Mark Thiessen give you YOUR LIFE BACK!
