This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Skillful and compassionate

Mark and Arlette were amazing. They took care of our issue with amazing skill! Even more important they were very compassionate and answered all our, probably, stupid questions and concerns as quickly as possible to keep us sane in this situation.

DWI Case Dismissed

I hired Mark after speaking with him by phone and was impressed with his experience and the results he has had based in the county my case was being handled. I placed my trust in Mark and he didn’t disappoint. He explained how the process works and the possible outcomes. My case could have gone ba...d, but Mark was able to work with the prosecutor and ended up getting my case dismissed. No conviction on my record, no probation, no fines, no community service. While every case is different I was very pleased with the outcome. Mark and his team are professional and responsive. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Highly Reccomend!

Mr. Morales and his team were very professional and knowledgeable. They made the parole process very smooth for me and my family. With his skills and his daily prayer meetings with his staff, I was able to make my 1st parole!

Well-oiled Machine.

Best money I’ve ever spent in my 60 years. I have brain damage from Covid. Every staff member I spoke to was kind and accommodating and supportive. Jennifer kept me informed and was so helpful. Approved 6.9 years in on a 15agg.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mark Morales and his staff are an excellent criminal defense team. As a former prosecutor, Mark Morales knows the right way to tackle a case and where to push for the weak spots. I have worked together with him when cases overlap between his area, criminal defense, and my area, family law. Sometimes, when it rains it pours. I know that when Mark is watching our client on the criminal front that frees me to concentrate on the family law front. His office is very easy to work with and we've managed to achieve great results for our mutual clients in the past. I highly recommend Mark and his team."

  • 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.
