About Mark
Biography
Former Veteran Prosecutor dedicated to Criminal Defense who works tirelessly with efficiency.
Deniz is a native of Southern California. He earned a scholarship playing college football. He earned the honor of Academic All-American.
After college he spent a few years as a high school educator and a varsity football coach. He then followed his dreams and attended law school. During law school he focused on helping people navigate through the legal system. He had internships with Prisoner Legal Services, Marin County Counsel, and Contra Costa Senior Legal Services.
In January 2004, he joined the ranks of the District Attorney’s Office. There, he learned behind-the-scene intricacies of criminal prosecution and was quickly promoted to Deputy District Attorney IV. Mr. Deniz worked closely with law enforcement. He went on ride-a-longs with police offices, reviewed police reports, filed criminal charges, negotiated plea bargain deals, interviewed expert witnesses and successfully tried more than 50 jury cases. He received training in evidence, trial technique, and felony sentencing from the California District Attorney Association.
In March 2009, he became a Deputy at the San Diego City Attorney’s Office. As a Deputy City Attorney he spent time in several units including the Domestic Violence, Issuing, and general trial unit. In 2012, he tried 13 jury trials alone. He was Prosecutor of the Month for September 2011 and November 2012. He has conducted over 70 jury trials as well as hundreds of motions and hearings. He handled thousands of cases while with the City Attorney’s office alone.
Mr. Deniz learned the prosecution's side of the law from the inside out, with all its strengths and weaknesses. This is unique and vital knowledge for a defense attorney. Preferring private practice and being well-armed with first-hand experience in the District Attorney's office and the City Attorney’s office, Mr. Deniz opened his own practice, focusing on San Diego DUI and San Diego criminal cases. With his depth of experience, he knew there were better ways to get favorable results besides the generic, impersonal approach often found in big law firms, and those without the knowledge of the inner workings of the prosecution.
Mr. Deniz opened his own law firm to satisfy clients' needs for individualized, professional services, tailored to give a quality defense that has reasonable and realistic fees.
At the Law Offices of Mark Deniz, Mr. Deniz provides his personalized, aggressive litigation expertise to each and every case. Your case will not be assigned to a junior-level associate. By handling the cases himself, Mr. Deniz provides his clients with top-shelf attention. Criminal Law has many attended and unintended consequences; you must have quality representation. You have to try your best to get out of an unsympathetic and complex system.
Mark Deniz is active and up-to-date within the legal community. This includes:
· Attended the prestigious National Advocacy Center in Columbia, South Carolina.
· Member of California DUI Lawyers Association
· Member of National College of DUI Defense
· Member of San Diego Criminal Defense Bar
· Member San Diego County Bar Association
Mr. Deniz also sits on several consulting and referral panels throughout San Diego County.
Some other tidbits about Mr. Deniz include:
· Former Special Prosecutor for the Auto Theft task force
· Was Prosecutor of the Month in San Diego for September 2011 and November 2012.
· Former member of the California District Attorney’s Association
· Respected by judges, court staff, prosecutors, and his colleagues in the criminal defense bar.
· Mark graduated from the prestigious and rigorous National College of DUI Defense Summer Session, held at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
* Graduated from La Pier’s rigorous DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing course; he is certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests under NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).

Mark Lawrence Deniz's Lawyer Endorsements
"Mark has exceptional knowledge and experience in criminal law, having done numerous jury trials as a prosecutor. Mark thoroughly evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of his cases and his opponents. He also thinks outside of the box when necessary for his cases. Mark is respected in the legal community."
"Simply put, Mark Deniz is a legal specimen. From the opposite side of the courtroom to watching him work as a defense attorney, one thing is clear: he has an approach to lawyering that is unparalleled. His systematic, relentless preparation is unlike anything I've ever seen. The novelty of his ideas are far beyond the typical "textbook defense" approach that we see all too often (to the client's detriment). The prosecution simply cannot keep up with him. Mark Deniz is seven moves ahead on the chessboard and it's an absolute privilege to watch this attorney unfold his game-plan. He has literally re-invented the game. To use a sports analogy, Deniz is, frankly, the Billy Beane of criminal defense. Game-changer. Highest recommendation I can give an attorney."
"I recommend Mark for any criminal case. Mark has the knowledge, work ethic, resume, and results to get things done! I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Mark Deniz. He is an outstanding legal contributor who ensure the best for his clients. Mark is respected in the legal community. I recommend his services to anyone seeking dedicated legal services within his respective practice areas."
"I've known Mark Deniz since he was a prosecutor; he has always shown intelligence, passion, and professionalism in and out of the courtroom. He is a particularly knowledgeable lawyer on DUI cases."
"Mr. Deniz is not only extremely knowledgable, but has unique experience that allows him to be more effective than most trial attorneys. He is not afraid to take your case to trial and fight for you tirelessly. He is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective counsel in any serious matter."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. He has years of legal experience to provide any client in need. Recommended."
"I have known Mark for over a year now, and I have seen him handle numerous cases in court. Mark Deniz is a very knowledgable and excellent attorney. Do not let his calm demeanor fool you though. He is a zealous advocate that is not afraid to fight for his clients regardless his opponent. He places his clients first and his passion to help his clients and the love of his work shows in court. I endorse this lawyer without hesitation."
"I sat across the hall and worked for Mr. Deniz for over a year in prosecution. I can confidently say that you would be hard pressed to find a more learned, more experienced and more professional defense attorney in San Diego. This is especially true of DUI cases. He has worked criminal cases from every different angle forwards and backwards and much of that time has been in the San Diego courts. He also carries the rare quality of being genuinely caring and committed to all his clients. I attribute much of my knowledge as an attorney from what I learned from him - the Obi-Wan Kenobi to my Luke Skywalker (If I may use a pop culture reference for a moment). A top notch lawyer all the way around."
"I endorse this lawyer."
