Mary's legal counsel
I recommend Mary as a reliable and trustworthy legal counsel, because she is not only highly competent and knowledgeable, but she also adds the empathy and human touch with her clients, who like us, happen to accidentally be involved in situations where we not only need an expert, but also a patient ...

"Excellent" is an Understatement
I don't even know where to start with Ms. Conn. Not only was her counsel and defense all that I hoped for in my DWI case, but her care and genuine concern far surpassed my expectations. Mary and her team guided me through every step of my year and a half in the very dismal "system" - a place in which...

Mary was very helpful
Mary helped my son navigate the murky legal maze after an unfortunate DUI at age 18. There's very little legal wiggle room in that situation (at least in California, where it happened), but she got him through it with a minimum of pain. Thanks!

Replied last October 02, 2015Thanks Dan! It was a great pleasure to assist y'all with this sticky situation. Thank you for being great clients, and for your kind remarks!

Someone in Your Corner When Stuff Hits the Fan
The titles sums it up succinctly. There is no way I could have navigated the labyrinth of CHP and DMV bureaucracy, BS and the utter incompetence of both agencies. Was I guilty of DUI? Yes. But they still managed to get me a better deal than going it alone all while going above and beyond in assisting...

Replied last October 02, 2015Thank you MB! I very much appreciate your kind words. Dealing with these cases is confusing at best, and you unfortunately experienced as you say, "the utter incompetence" of parts of the system. I was also pleased at the result. That's always a good moment, and it's an extra pleasure to have such a great client!

Mary E. Conn's Lawyer Endorsements
"I highly recommend this attorney. She fights hard for her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mary is a brilliant attorney who uses her legal skills and tenacity to obtain great results for her clients. I've known Mary for over 30 years and as great a lawyer as she is, she is an even better person. Highly recommended when your freedom hangs in the balance."
"Mary is a well respected, top notch attorney who is passionate about what she does. That is what I would want in my attorney and you should too. I am proud to endorse Mary."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mary is a great criminal defense lawyer, she is highly motivated and bold, she has the heart of a lion. She is one of the best."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mary is the lawyer you cannot go wrong with. She had boundless energy and is great in refining the language in motions. Her wide life experiences are a true asset in thinking outside the box."
"Mary is a great lawyer who always fights hard for her clients.She and I have known each other over 30 years and during that time I have observed her and seen her keen legal mind at work..Mary always gets good results for her clients..Mary is an honorable lawyer and a fine woman..."
"Mary Conn is a past president of the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association. Mary stands up for her clients and justice. Others pretend to be criminal defense lawyers; Mary is a criminal defense lawyer to the core. No one is more dedicated to their clients and justice than Mary."
"Mary Conn has shown as a member of the California DUI Defenders Association that she is committed to providing cutting edge DUI defense. The Association members represent the most experienced DUI defense attorneys in California. If you are charged with a DUI, a general practice lawyer is not the answer. Good DUI defense is hard work and few offenses in our court system call for greater attorney expertise than cases involving driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. DUI cases are especially complex because they require defense counsel to understand BOTH scientific and legal issues. I recently heard Ms. Conn speak at a convention, and she clearly demonstrated why she is so highly regarded in the DUI defense community. She is truly a "lawyers lawyer". As a fellow member of the Association, if you are looking for exceptional representation, I would not hesitate to recommend Mary Conn."
"An extremely dedicated and effective advocate."
"I endorse this lawyer's work and want you to consider her for any case you may have in the Santa Cruz and Santa Clara area of California - Mary Conn will give you the guidance you need whether you are a fellow attorney or a new client w/ a criminal or DUI matter."
