AMAZING

Honestly had lost hope that things would go in my favor after i tried to represent myself. Once i called Mark and Paula they immediately jumped on the opportunity to do all that they could to help me. They not only understood my situation but they actually cared about my situation. They had excellent... communication with me via phone and email. Mark showed up and conquered.

Criminal Speeding Violation Dimissed

I live out of state and received a criminal speeding ticket while driving to Phoenix. Mark Heath did an excellent job of getting my criminal speeding case dismissed with no points on my driver's license by sucessfully negotiating with the prosecutor to give me online traffic school instead. This wa...s all done without me having to travel to Arizona to be present for the proceedings. He also went above and beyond to educate me on the process and kept me updated throughout the case. I chose Mark after interviewing three other attorneys and I definitely made the right choice. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone.

The Best Attorney I ever had

I was charged for criminal speeding in Arizona. I did not realize it was a misdemeanor until I did a little bit research. I did not live in Arizona, and I really had no idea what I should do as I do not want have a permanent record in my life. I was really distressed. Mark Heath helped me to get thro...ugh this issue. He is very knowledgeable and patient to answer every question I have in details. He successfully negotiated with the prosecutor and got it reduced to a civil case, which was a great relief for me. I know a friend of mine who is in the similar situation (criminal speeding ticket), but her attorney did not get it reduced to a civil case. I felt I was so lucky that I chose Mark Heath as my attorney!! I would recommend him to anyone.

Set aside

Mark is the lawyer you want representing you in a case. My experience with Mark from nothing less than excellent from the time I first made contact. He responded within hours, he was professional and very humble with his time. I really felt like he cared not only about my case, but me as a person. It... was a very good experience! his legal advice was very professional, assuring and I felt confident that if I needed additional representation that he would be the lawyer to fight for me. I never got the vibe that he was after money. Now I know why he is so successful, he cares about the people. In return that is why he is the one of the best in Arizona. Thank you Mark for you time and the experience you provided. It was above excellent.

ForeverthankfuClient!

Few years back I needed a lawyer who would listen, guide and defend. I never had encounter with the law ever in my life and the stress of not knowing your future is overwhelming but Atty Mark Heath was there all the way. He was very accessible and informative of what I was facing for. He has a heart ...that genuinely believed of what I was going through and knowledge that obtained the best result for my case. He is Simply the BEST. Atty Mark will be in my thoughts and prayers for the rest of my life. God Bless You and thank you very much Atty.
