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.

Best attorney without a question

This was the first time I've ever been in trouble with the law (DWI). A friend recommended Mr. Thiessen to me so I gave him a call to discuss my case. He gave me his personal cell phone number and told me if I had any questions to call him day or night!! I thought, "Is this guy for real, he cares t...hat much about his clients that he gives us his personal number?" He allowed me to pay his fees in installments and I was never rushed or pressured to make payments. Being this was my first time ever being in trouble with the law, I had no idea what to expect. Mr. Thiessen was so calming and kept telling me that everything was going to be ok and that he would fight for me until the end. He was able to get my case dismissed and the dark clouds hanging over me was suddenly replaced by sunny skies. Don't think twice about hiring Mr. Thiessen, it will be the best decision your ever going to make.

DWI blood draw dismissed

I was introduced to Attorney Mark Thiessen by two very trustworthy loyal people that I know. Upon my initial meeting with him I was extremely upset. As I explained my case he listened carefully and made me feel comforted. The odds were stacked up against me. I was pulled over for no headlights. There... were three videos, sobriety tests were failed, and there was blood work. In the videos my headlights were on not off, my sobriety tests were not on any of them, and I looked fine. My blood work came back .15, but he proved the chain of custody had been broken due to the fact that the RN who drew the blood was not documented. The DA new Attorney Mark Thiessen had been beating blood work cases a lot lately. He has proven that all science is not infallible therefore blood work cases are not an open shut case like many of us have come to believe. I noticed a change in demeanor of the court officials when Attorney Mark Thiessen walked into the court room. He is highly respected in the court room. I was very pleased on his presentation throughout my case. Any questions I had, he had an answer. If I called and left a message he was prompt on getting back with me. He was very prepared for my case. He carries a powerful love for his clients and his work. Attorney Mark Thiessen is an understanding, confident, highly respected, aggressive, and tenacious young attorney. I have witnessed first hand despite what the prosecutors had alleged the justice system being put to work. I am a free woman thanks to Attorney Mark Thiessen.

Got my DUI dismissed, when I was feeling hopeless

Was pulled over for running a red light and had a few beers with dinner/golf and the cop asked me to get out. That is never a cool feeling, but I felt I was fine and under the limit easily. The cop did the "normal" stuff when smelling alcohol and took me to jail when I was basically fine, but lega...lly over the limit. The officer told me that he thought I was fine, and that it was just a formality (taking me to jail). He even told me he would personally take me back to my truck if I blew under. So that gave me a reason to blow, otherwise I would not have blown.... Mark saw this and grilled him on the stand in my ALR hearing. I lost my ALR hearing, but I just lost my DL for three months. But as a result of the cop's testimony Mr. Thiessen was able to get the case dismissed. I interviewed one other lawyer and he just seemed like he wanted to just go ahead and accept the DIVERT program. Mark said that was going to be there if he couldn't win it. I was happy with my choice to pick a lawyer that was willing to fight my case, and not just take my money and tell me the DIVERT program was the best I could do. Excellent attorney and a man too. Was easy to get a hold to and gave me his personal cell number and was able to contact him on the weekend if I had any questions. Gave his card to all my friends that drink.

Some, like Mark, will still fight for you!

I was arrested for DWI. I didn't take the breath test but they did take my blood under "no refusal." This is a scary situation and most lawyers would not even consider taking a blood case. Mark didn't hesitate. He promised me that he would fight it until the very end and he made good on it. He was ve...ry accessible and approachable. Every time I would worry or wonder what was going on with my case, he had the answers. Every time the odds were stacked against me, Mark was there to battle it out. My case ran for about nine months until it was finally dismissed. Through those nine months I was able to see a lot of different lawyers with their clients. None of them were as sharp as Mark. While they were making bogus plea deals, Mark was fighting for me. I would recommend this man to represent me or anyone I know. He knows what he's doing and he's just the best there is. He's a great attorney as well as a stand up guy. Trust in Mark!
