Was pulled over for messing with my GPS. Turned out the police smelled alcohol on me from beers a couple of hours ago! I monitor my alcohol intake very carefully since had a legitimate DUI 9 years ago. So it surprised me when they took me in to blow. Blew a .10 according to their machine. So I s...tarted shopping around for an attorney. Most were overpriced and play the whole "bait and switch", meaning the expierenced guy "consults" your case and you pay a bunch of money, then they send a junior guy to go to court. Not Mark Deniz, after doing careful research on who I would choose, I decided to call Mark. He started working on my case before we even sat down to sign a contract or exchange money. This guy even fought with dmv to try and suspend the suspension. He at least got them to delay it for 2 months while I got my affairs in order. When we sat down to meet at his office, it did not take long for me to realize this guy is a legal genius. I pretty much gave the police all the evidence needed to hit me with the second DUI charge, but Mark managed get the previous DUI thrown out and they ended up treating it like a first time dui. No jail, no community service, 3 months of counseling and a MADD panel. I was facing 90 days in jail, (4 days consecutive) 9 to 18 months of expensive counseling and a hefty fine. Mark had a counter or a motion for everything they threw at me until they finally gave in. I highly recommend Mark and if you are on the fence, Mark can help you!

When searching through DUI Lawyer's I spoke with 7 potential lawyers. I choose Mark for 2 reasons: - First, he offered great advice for free over the phone that would help my case regardless of if I choose him or not. -Second, (most important to me) he didn't sugar coat anything. He told me exact...ly what the worst case outcome could be. This put me at ease because I understood what to expect and wasn't blindsided by anything. Looking back at the case, I am glad I had Mark in my corner. He was aggressive and fought to get me the best possible outcome. He was reliable and easy to contact. That doesn't mean he answered every call but he did get back to me before the day was over. Marks insights and knowledge about DUI defense is likely so strong from his time as a prosecutor. He knows his stuff in and out. He has good relationships with the Judges and Prosecutors that are likely to be handling YOUR case! If I had known these things about him before I wouldn't have talked to 6 other lawyers. End Result: I had a BAC .13, got a wet reckless with no stipulations, and the DMV took my license for 4 months. ( I got it back after 1 month on work related permit but extended the 4 month to 6) In short, if you need DUI help pick Mark Deniz! He is honest, hard-working, and knows people. He took my .13 to a wet reckless with no stipulations (court didn't take my license, no community service, etc).

Finding a good lawyer can be a very stressful process. I was in trouble with the law a few months ago and I'm glad I chose Mark Deniz to represent me. From the moment when I first reached out to him regarding my ordeal to the times I was in his office to discuss my case, he always kept me calm, lis...tened attentively and assured me he will fight hard to give me the best outcome. It really helped that Mark was a former prosecutor of San Diego, a very good one at that. His fees are very reasonable. He could have easily charged me 2-3 times more for the case but didn't. In short, Mark aggressively handled my case and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. He basically got rid of the charge that I thought was going to be on my record permanently, which would have been devastating. It gets better: the court fine that was imposed was reduced to the lowest fine. I couldn't be happier that I chose Criminal Defense Attorney Mark Deniz. Thank you very much Mark.

Mark Deniz, in short, is incredible. He was the first lawyer I spoke with a week after my suspicion of driving under the influence arrest, in which an accident was involved. I have never been "in trouble" before and I was scared, anxious, filled with worry and questions and lacking confidence that... anything could be done. Mark assured me he could do all he could to get me a fair and great resolution to my case. He aggressively and respectfully demanded all of my test results and evidentiary information - which he got in a timely fashion. He relayed information and options to me as they were received to him. He utilized his years of experience and relationships in the legal field to get me an amazing deal. I never felt "out of the loop" - which is very important to me. His follow-up is consistent and detailed. Mark Deniz handled my questions, concerns and anxiousness professionally. I am more than pleased with my stellar representation and I can not recommend him enough. It pleases me to know that there are lawyers like this in practice. He was the first, and last lawyer I consulted with (I signed retainer documents within an hour of speaking to him - I trusted him already). I hope to never have to use him again, because I will keep myself out of trouble, but if there ever is someone who finds themselves needing a lawyer, I encourage you to call Mark Deniz - you will not regret it. Thanks, Mark! You're a class act and a real professional. You should be proud of yourself.

After making a series of bad judgements, I found myself stuck in a legal bind with a DUI. While panicking, I sought an acquaintance in the legal field who, while not specializing in criminal law, highly recommended someone who was well respected and reputed to be sought after for his professional wo...rk. After contacting Mr. Mark Deniz, from the outset he aggressively pursed my case, approaching both the DMV and the state with concerted vigor. Importantly, someone who is knowledgeable about the court system, he guided me through the tricky hurdles and pitfalls, while constantly maintaining open communication to inform me of the moving circumstances. In short, he's there for you not only as a legal advocate, but navigating you through at times the deceptively convoluted legal system. Having your best interests at heart, he's very communicable, reliably accessible when you require answers to confusing questions. Moreover, there's a very human element with which he creates an emphatic repertoire with the client, which you may not necessarily find in other legal representatives. After months of concern, needless to say, Mr. Deniz helped me result in an outcome I can only express was beyond my most optimistic expectation. Words can barely convey my gratitude. I highly recommend you contact Mr. Deniz if you find yourself in legal troubles. Professionally and psychologically (particularly at such testing times), he will be there for you. P.S. If you're thinking of circumstances leading to a trial (though I didn't require such services), there's this glint in his eyes when he relates about his trial experiences, as if he's relishing the scrum awaiting in the courtroom. I'd imagine you want someone impassioned like him to be in your side when tough gets going.
