You saved our son!

Our son had a 2nd dui while he was training for his new job in San Diego in June. He had just graduated. He had a prior dui before 21 in BAy Area where we live and was under probation when this happened. We were lost. We were not familiar with SD or did not know anyone there. He returned home the ...next day after he was let out. He also lost his job. We went online and looked for DUI attorneys. As a family, we spoke to 4 or 5 attorneys. Every attorney we spoke to sounded great. However, we decided to go with Mr. Deniz based on the excellent reviews he had. Mr Deniz provided all the possible outcomes over the phone and via emails. He explained his strategy. To be honest, we have not met him till today. Having a second DUI in a span of 2 years is as bad as it can get . We have no regrets. My son's case was resolved on the second court date on Sept 20th. It was the happiest day for us. Mr. Deniz managed to convince the prosecutor - my son received a home detention for 96 hours and community service for 60 hours where we live with 5 years of probation. He managed to get him to do the detention at a Airbnb as we did not know anyone in SD. If not for Mr. Deniz's smart plan , my son would have ended up being in jail and may have had to wear the ankle monitor for a period of time which may have messed up his present job. My son was so lucky or should I say that it was all Mr. Deniz's hard work and strategy that he used in this case to obtain such great results. He kept being in touch throughout the months before the court date asking him to do his classes etc My son owes his life to Mr. Deniz! I don't think that any other attorney would have obtained this results. We are very grateful to him and have no regrets with the choice we made. We have to thank Avvo which really helped us make the decision to hire Mr. Deniz based on all the reviews that others had written. Thank you Mr. Deniz! We hope to meet with you soon and personally thank you for all your hard work with our son's case. We hope others who read this will hire Mr. Deniz as their attorney too!

Great Decision

I retained Mark Deniz after a DUI arrest on a referral through an acquaintance. I spoke at length with Mark that first afternoon, and signed the retainer paperwork immediately. Mark took the time to explain all the steps, and ensured I was proactive in getting things done ahead of time to help with... as positive an outcome as I could have hoped for. Mark's expertise in this field makes him an excellent choice to represent you through this process. I would highly recommend hiring him if you are in need of a lawyer.

Very Helpful

Mark and his team were able to get my charges and my penalties reduced from life-changing to something that was much more tolerable. He tailored his defense to achieve the outcome that would be best for me and my family and I really appreciate it.

Great Lawyer

I hired Attorney Mark Deniz for a misdemeanor violation I received at the San Diego airport for having a non-secured firearm in a checked bag. From the beginning Mark was very confident that he could get my case resolved quickly with the least amount of punishment. Mark also wanted to keep the cost l...ow for his retainer. Mark was able to have a bench warrant lifted immediately after we spoke about the case and he began to go to court in my place as I was now residing in another state. In total it took about 2 months for the case to be resolved. I had to pay a fine and that was it. Mark kept in touch with me throughout the 2 months updating me with information about the court hearings and what the prosecution wanted to do. I would highly recommend Mark as a lawyer.

A big part of being a good advocate is the ability to get a client's story.  I was able to hear a story that gave context to what was going on.  This big picture approach is one way you can show the intent of a person (or lack thereof).

Incredible Service, Phenomenal Results

I was facing Felony DUI charges for prescription drugs. The situation was no typical DUI, but Mark sat down with me and explained my case very clearly, and explained what actions had to be done to progress. I had never been in any legal trouble before and I feared these felony DUI charges could ruin ...my life. Mark communicated with me frequently and explained any questions I had about my case or what the next step to take was. He is very easy to talk to, and has incredible communication skills. Mark's experience and expertise became so clear as well after meeting him for the first time. He explained multiple options throughout every decision point of my case, and made sure he understood what I wanted. Here I am almost a year later. Mark was able to drop my DUI felony charges to a misdemeanor DUI, small fines, and a couple meetings and classes here and there. I don't know where I would be today if I had not chosen Mark Deniz as my attorney, and I will say with complete confidence that Mark saved my life. I highly recommend Mark to others who are facing similar charges as I was, and I will absolutely recommend him first to family and friends.

What a great client.  You were easy to work with and advocate for. I always want to ensure you know what is going on every step along the way.   The process itself can be punishment and can be traumatic.  I want the process to be as easy as possible.
