Excellent lawyer, excellent result!

I was charged with a misdemeanor battery. I contacted Mark and explained what happened. With his background as a former prosecuter he told me what to expect over the next several weeks and what I could do in the meantime to have the best possible result with my case. Mark was spot on. I followed his ...instructions and when it came time for my case to be brought up no charges were filled. Mark and his team did an outstanding job for me! Thank you Mark!

Great job!!!

Mark and his team did a great job on getting a very good result in my DUI case. Being a former prosecuting attorney himself, Mark knows exceeding well how to negotiate with prosecuting attorneys and gain favorable terms with judges. I was impressed with his thoroughness on exploring the options avail...able in the case and then pursuing the best possible results in negotiations. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for superior representation and at a fantastic price.

After speaking with you I could sense your story would be receptive with the judges.  Once we convinced the prosecution we had only the judge, who made a very just decision.  You deserved it. I was glad to have helped.

Great Results, Great Lawyer, Great Price!

For my DUI case I initially felt very helpless, like there was nothing I could do to better my situation and thought I should just go with a public defender and accept whatever outcome there was. The burden of it all was extremely taxing on my psychological health. Although it was my first offense I ...blew a .17 and was looking at some harsh punishment for it. After consulting a few lawyers Mark was easily the best choice and most reasonably priced. He made me feel secure and was very upfront with me about what he could do for me from the get-go. He ended up going above and beyond what I had hoped for and I couldn’t be happier with the results of my case. He handles all of the messy paperwork for the DMV and court dates for you. He used to be a prosecutor for many years before switching to defense attorney so he knows how each side works which is a huge advantage. I was looking at extremely high fines, community service, at least 45 days with an ankle bracelet, an interlock on my car, and at least 6 months in a DUI program. Mark met with the prosecution quite a few times and negotiated on my behalf for only 3 months in a DUI program and reduced fines. Because of him I saved so much money and gained mental clarity knowing I was getting the best deal possible. He also works with you as far as payment goes to set up a plan that isn’t unreasonable, which also helps for whatever financial situation you find yourself in. All in all, amazing experience and highly recommend him to anyone fighting a DUI!

I was glad to have been a help.  I left the prosecution side because I thought I can help normal people who get themselves into a pickle.

Best attorney I could've asked for!

I was inclined to have Mark Deniz APLC represent me during my DUI due to his high rating on AVVO, Yelp and Google. However what truly led me to choose him amongst the vast amount of attorneys claiming to be DUI experts is that Mark has a proven track record of success with these cases! Not only is h...e now a defense attorney but he was at one point of his career a prosecutor, so he understands how the other side of the bench works. Mark was certainly woken up at 5am by my call on a Sunday, desperate for help as I had just been released from a Chula Vista police department for a DUI. Within less than a 15 minute call he went over "what happens next", the DMV, the court process and what would happen after my sentencing. I cannot be more grateful that we chose him, I was never alone during this process. He has walked me through it all and has kept me informed via email, text & follow up calls as late as 8pm. He also had me proactive, through signing up early for a DUI class in order to have a more favorable outcome at sentencing. This too proved to am aid in getting what we collectively felt was best for my situation.

I narrow my practice with work with quality people as much as I can.  This case is an example of working with someone you want to go fight for.  Thank you for the kind words.

Espongement of Case

I previously had Mark Deniz handle my DUI case and was very happy with the results. After completing the court mandatory terms of my sentence, I hired Mark Deniz to handle the espongement of the verdict. Mark guided me on what needed to be done, he successfully represented me in court, and I was gra...nted my espongement. I would definitely recommend Mark Deniz and his firm.
