Excellent Attorney

I was charged with a DWI and resisting arrest in December of 2010 at which time I knew I had to hire an attorney. After meeting with several attorneys, I hired Mark Thiessen. He seemed sharp and very knowledgeable. My funds were limited and he assured me that he would work with me financially. He kno...ws the law and the judicial system well. He went above and beyond to get my case resolved in a timely manner with an excellent outcome. Mark was a true professional throughout the process. I am very grateful for his dedication and patience throughout my case. I would highly recommend him should you find yourself in a similar situation. Thanks Mark!

DWI dismissed!!!

July of 2011, After drinking at a bar in Washington avenue in Houston, I went to jail for drinking and driving. I called and talked to my friends about who I should hire as my attorney. Two of my friends referred me to Mark Thiessen. Then I did my research about Mark, and I read really good reviews a...bout him. At this point, I still wasn't sure.. and I was very nervous because I have never got involved in any incidents like this in the past. I went to his office, sat down and talked to him for about 30mins or so. After talking to him in his office, it made me feel much more relaxed and I decided to hire him to fight for me in my DWI case. Whatever you read on here, is very true!! I did my research for few days because I didn't know who I wanted to hire to fight for my case. I'm so glad that I have decided to hire Mark as my attorney. He knows pretty much everyone in the courtroom. He's very knowledgeable and he will inform you every details about what is going on through out your case. After 3months, here I am writing a review about Mark because I just walked out of courtroom about an hour ago and my case was DISMISSED! I'm 26 years old, and I really did not want this DWI on my record. It's the best feeling ever!! I would recommend Mark to anyone that I know. Let him fight for you. THANK YOU MARK!!

If you have the misfortune of getting in trouble you want Mark on your side

When I was arrested for a DWI I was scared out of my mind, having flashes of everything I have worked so hard for vanishing in an instant. I was referred to Mark by a good friend of mine and let me tell you from the first meeting I was not disappointed. Mark explained clearly what the plan was and ...what I could expect in the coming months. I was told by many of my friends who have been in similar situations the horror stories of not being able to contact your lawyer and being left out of the loop until minutes before court. If you are a worrier like me look no further than Mark, he is available by phone, text and email and always responded to any of my questions quickly. To be honest I was very shocked to hear back from him so promptly considering how busy his schedule is but he was always there when I had questions. Mark took very good care of me and once the case is over he still is there to help with any questions you may have. If you are in trouble you need some to fight for you, not just take the easy road out and move on to the next case. Look no further than Mark you will not be disappointed having him on your side.

Best Decision I've Made

This was my first time getting arrested, I've been pulled over for speeding tickets and minor things like that but nothing as serious as this. As you can imagine I was scared out of my mind and a complete nervous wreck. First step was to hire a lawyer. I did my research and eventually narrowed do...wn my choices to 4 lawyers. Out of those 4, Mark was the only one that called me back within 24 hours of leaving a message. I did hear back from the other lawyers but none of them made me feel like I mattered. I wanted to make sure I hired the best and from the moment I spoke to Mark I knew it was him. He put me at ease and made me feel secure about my case. Next step was my ALR Hearing. I was 100% positive my license was going to be suspended due to my refusal of a breath test, so you can imagine the wonderful surprise and relief I felt when I was notified that Mark won my case. Finally there was my DWI case. From the very first court date I knew I made the right choice. Mark's presence in a court room is one of a kind, he is very confident, charming, professional and just owns the room as soon as he walks in. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of my case. I have recommended Mark to all my friends and family. I hope they never need his services but if they do, I have no doubt he will take care of them. THANK YOU MARK!
