Would Hire Mark Again

My case created lots of work for Mark. my girlfriend accused me of choking her. The local pd chose to listen to her, and filed a temporary restraining order on me. I gave Mark my story, he outlined a plan of attack-- and I immediately went out and violated the TRO- against his advice !! We worked to...gether-proved that her neck was scared in her teens and I did not choke her. Mark took my panicked calls at night and while in court. He is very reassuring and extremely professional. I hope I never need him again, but its nice to know I have him in my corner.

Attorney Mark Thiessen

Mark is a remarkable attorney who works with his client diligently and listens to all my concerns. He worked on my case and gave me the confidence that I will get the best judgement in my favor. He never asked me to plead and take whatever the DAs offered. He kept fighting for me and eventually got m...y case dismissed. Mark has a very remarkable presence in the court room and he is very impressive in dealing with DAs. He has through knowledge of Texas Laws and he reviewed my case throughly and discussed all the possible options with me in details and based on the evidence reviewed by him, he told me that we will certainly have the best chance to win and we did. He gives so much personal attention to all the details and even answered my calls on the weekends when I contacted him on his cell phone. After first meeting and first court date I was sure that I got the best attorney representing my case. I will sure recommend Mark to anyone who needs help in Texas courts for criminal defense. He was always there for me on every court date on time. I have witnessed other attorneys in the court and Mark Thiessen stands out among them with his superior personality and his knowledge. He is the best you can find in Texas.

Great Attorney and Very Reliable

I hired Mark to represent me in one of the worst times of my life. I was so scared and didn't know what to expect. He put me at ease, made himself available to all my questions and was relentless in his pursuit to fight my case. If he didn't get a favorable settlement in my case then he was ready ...to take it to trial. Why not when I have nothing to lose? That is when you know your attorney is looking out for your best interests. My case will be dismissed soon, and I highly suggest hiring Mark Thiessen. I hope I never have to hire a lawyer again, but if I do, without a doubt, it will be Mark.

Terrific Defense Attorney

Mark Thiessen is an outstanding attorney. Mark defended my case with gusto, and showed sincere passion when pleading my case to the jury. He is however, a busy lawyer, and handles a lot of cases, so he didn't always inform me of what was going on with my case in a timely manor; yet, Mark more than ma...de up for that in the courtroom, as he systematically dismantled the prosecutor's case against me - bringing the jury to conclude a "not guilty" verdict.

I would utilize NO OTHER ATTORNEY - Except Mark Ryan Thiessen - Under any circumstances

I was arrested for DWI several hours after my Mom's funeral. I did have several glasses of wine so, who knows, I could have hit the .08 limit. My court date was 7 days later. Mark was referred to me by a friend and from the moment I heard his voice, I knew I was in good hands and all would be ...okay. (I was in a rather emotional state since the arrest occurred on the day I buried my Mom.) I was due in criminal court 7 days later. Mark answered all my calls "on the spot" - even realizing he was likely receiving a call from someone who was totally "freaking out" and crying most of the time. Most importantly, he absolutely knew his craft and informed me every step of the way what to expect and the options before me. Mark got me in and out of criminal court within 30 minutes - my criminal case was dismissed. Next step – Dismissing the civil matter, (ALR Hearing), for refusing a blood or breath test. Mark attended my ALR hearing where I was sure my license would be suspended due to my constant refusals to a blood or breath test. Mark attended the ALR hearing; I was not even required to go. Mark told me, "do not worry; I will take care of everything." And by God, he did! Mark rang me and told me "I was golden." My driver’s license had not been suspended! I could not believe it! Do I have Mark's number on speed dial? You bet! Would I tell someone or anyone to call him if they were in any type of trouble? You bet! I was one of the lucky ones. I actually retained a lawyer with such high integrity, knowledge and an unwavering tenacity to fight for his clients. I truly wish everyone who happens to make a mistake and/or get into trouble had instant access to Mark. If there was any way I could make that happen, I certainly would. Respectfully, A loyal client to the end of my life
