Mark Thiessen saved our Daughter and Grandson's life

Our daughter was arrested for felony DWI with child, and all she had done was stop to render aid to a drunken driver who had overturned her car. When the ambulance had taken the driver of the overturned car to the hospital, the attending officer arrested our daughter on suspension of driving drunk h...erself ( which she wasn't). Mr Thiessen was successful in getting a no bill from the Grand Jury. Had this not have happened my daughter could have been sentenced to three years in the correctional facility and her life would have been ruined. We will be eternally grateful to Mr Thiessen for his knowledge and ability to correct this horrific error. Thank God for Mark Thiessen!!!

Mark Thissen Has The "IT" Factor

Often times we hear about how Micheal Jordan or Tom Brady just have/had that "IT" factor. In the sporting world the "IT" factor will win you games and championships. In the work world the "IT" factor will earn you praise, money, pretty girls/or guys if that’s your preference and MONEY..... When it ...comes to the LAW and the "IT" factor; it can mean your freedom or justice. We often take our freedoms for granted and find ourselves on the other side of the law. In that case we have to rely on a lawyer to defend our rights when we or someone else violates our freedoms. In my case, my freedom was violated when an intoxicated group of people decided to gang up on me at a house party in what I would consider a nice part of Houston. Never would I have thought that I would have to defend my freedom and safety in a situation that didn't seem threatening. Unfortunately when people drink too much and over indulge themselves in liquid courage anything is possible. Being attacked from behind with verbal and physical assault, I had to defend myself and make split second decisions. So I ended up having to punch my attacker several times while being attacked by his group of friends. People got hurt, by the grace of GOD I was able to escape the carnage to live another day. Without knowing who attacked me or anyone else at the party other than the few people I came with. I had no idea who to mention when I called the cops to file a police report. Six month after the altercation I was issued a warrant for my arrest from the person who attcked me. Now most people would wonder how that is possible. I sure did!. I wondered how I could be attacked and assaulted by several people just to be the one the cops or the law came after. The person who I defended myself against investigated me on facebook and was able to file charges against me. Great idea when you think about it right? Well I didn't have a clue who anyone was and when I tried to find out no one seemed to know who this group of people were....... So who do you call in this situation??? Someone you trust? Someone who will fight for your rights? Someone who understands the results of the loss of Freedom and what it can do to your family? Someone who will go up against all the odds and take on a challenge that most lawyers wouldn't even touch? Someone who you can count on in the clutch? Someone who when the chips are stacked up against you will fight tooth and nail for you? Last but most importantly has the "IT' Factor!!! If you want to know the answer, just call Mark Thiessen!... That’s who I called and wouldn't have had it any other way. My case took about 2 years to finally resolve. Mark's advice was spot on and every step he took was a step in the right direction. When at some points I would question his judgment, his knowledge would turn to be more prophetic. During Trial he operated the courtroom with charisma and respect. His ability to connect with the Jury on a personal level was amazing! Throughout the entire process I always felt Mark had my back, and in my heart and mind knew I had the right person defending myself. Mark is said to be a up and coming lawyer amongst his peers. In my mind he is already worthy of being considered one of the Big Guns in this town. You don’t go to war without your gun, so why take a BB Gun when you can take the biggest and baddest gun you can find!

M Thiessen Review

Mark was very courteous, professional, knowledgeable and very direct and forward about handling my case. He seemed to interact very well with the judge and the DA's and you could tell they all respected him. He was not afraid to stand up for me and if need be go to trial. In the end he persevered and... we won our case. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone that truly needs a top notch attorney. He has helped many of my friends and a family member out too all with favorable results.

Best DUI/DWI Lawyer

I owe Mark Thiessen allot after what he did for me. He's a pitbull of a lawyer. Mark fought for me from the beginning and all the way through my slip ups. Mark knows how, and will get you the best possible option there is. I know this because I sat in the court room as he relentlessly took on the Ass...istant DA and the judge, not backing down for 5 solid full minutes until he had worked out what I wanted as his client. Mark Thiessen isn't lazy, nor does he hide behind fancy jargon, nor will he quit.
