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.

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.

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.
