Mr. Dismiss

I call him Mr. Dismiss! I got popped for violating a protective order, but what sucks is I didn't even know I had one on me. I wasn't even served with it until I left county jail! The cops took me to jail because my girl called them when we argued. They said I wasn't supposed to be near her because... of the order. She put the order out on me two days earlier and I never knew about it! How am I supposed to know there is an order if no one ever showed it to me? The DA said I knew. Mr. Poling set it for trial. We showed up for trial and the DA dismissed the case! Mr. Poling said it was because I wasn't served with the order so they dropped the case! That is what we told the DA the last time but they wanted us to plea out! I am lucky I had Mr. Dismiss on my side! Now there is no order and I am a free man!

Fearless

Mark was appointed by Bexar county to defend me. It was my 4th arrest for pot. I would have been happy with a plea deal and probation. Mark reviewed my case and felt that the police had done an illegal search. He was not afraid to stand up to the District Attorney and uncovered evidence that the sear...ch was done without my consent. He threatened to go to trial unless the charges were dropped completly. I only wish I had the scratch to pay him. I hope this helps him after the work he did for me. Every other Attorney I have delt with made me plea. Mark listened to my storey and found a way to work through it. He treated me with respect and came down on the district attorney like a hammer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
