Great Lawyer

Mark was great. He got the blow machine off my truck and my case was dismissed. I have contacted him and referred him to other people in the past several years. DWI's are not fun. Mark stayed on top of the case. If someone is in trouble or needing legal assistance, Mark is the guy for the job.

DWI

I was arrested for DWI. Mr. Thiessen did an excellent job representing me. He was very upfront and kept me informed. He answered all of my many questions. My case was dismissed after almost a year.

Mark Thiessen

I found Mark to be a great asset in a troubling time. He was a very professional, honest resource, up front with me at every turn. I was followed home by someone who accused me of hitting them and not stopping. Mark was able to work with the judge and district attorney on my case to have all charge...s dismissed based on the circumstances. Without Mark, I don't know what the outcome would have been. Thanks, Mark for all your help!

Great reputation and great results

After getting arrested for my first (and hopefully, last) DWI, I was worried about losing my license and of course how it would affect my job. However, I found Mark, and the worrying ceased. Immediately, he got to work on several different angles that made me feel very confident about my case. Equ...ally important, I didn't blow so was very worried about my license, but he worked hard to get me my license back and got the ALR case dismissed! Seeing the respect he had of the other lawyers we would run into in the courthouse just furthered my confidence that I had chosen the right lawyer. Day of trial, the case was dismissed. Obviously a good result, but Mark would of loved to take it to trial and get a not guilty--just shows his dedication. Overall, he made a very bad experience disappear through his hard work, knowledge, and skill, and I would certainly recommend him to anyone who wants a similar outcome.

Gave me my life back

One never quite imagines getting pulled over after drinking and the consequences it brings until you're caught. And on top of that, one would never expect for it to happen twice. The fear is undescribable. The attorney I hired to handle my 1st offense did not fight for me in the slightest. He con...vinced me to accept probation and made it sound like we didn't stand a chance by taking it to trial. Because I trusted him and didn't know any better, I took the deal. The humiliation of checking in with a probation officer, taking DWI classes, wasting so much time and money, and the fact that the DWI will never leave my recored are all extremely frustrating. I never would have thought it could happen again. We (my parents and I) knew this time we had to hire a MUCH better lawyer-someone we knew would fight for me and wasn't afraid to take my case to trial should we get to that point. We met with Mark and I immediately felt assured he knew what he was doing. There were so many questions he asked me that my 1st lawyer never asked or brought up. Mark was extremely up-front and honest with me from the beginning, preparing me for the worst...which is difficult but obviously necessary. I had complete trust in him. After hearing that he was winning cases left and right, I knew that we had made the right decision. My video wasn't the greatest, in fact, it was much worse than my first, so I was extremely nervous and scared. Because Mark had been so successfull in other cases leading up to my time to take our case to trial, he was able to convice the DA to drop my case all together. I actually cried in the courtroom that day when he said the case was just dismissed. The relief is still overwhelming to this day. If you should ever find yourself in this unfortunate position, I truly believe you can put your trust in Mark. I would never recommend another attorney to handle a DWI case other than Mark Thiessen. His work ethic, track record, honesty and drive are outstanding.
