Expungement

After dealing with numerous attorney’s and not getting the results I needed, I found the Law Offices of Mark Deniz. Of course because of my past dealing with attorney’s and knowing my case was not an easy one to overturn, I was reluctant he would actually be able to help me with my case. After meet...ing with Mark, I felt he had my best interest in mind and would work hard to get me a great outcome. After the filing of Motions and my Declaration, I was always provided a copy so I knew what was going on in my case. I was always updated on the hearing dates and knew what the strategy would be. When my hearing came before the Judge, Mark’s partner, Alyssa argued my case. Not only was she knowledgeable but she was also extremely professional when dealing with opposing counsel and the Judge. I finally found the right attorney’s to get me the results I needed to end this matter. Thank you Mark and Alyssa for your efficiency, professionalism and hard work.

Thank you for your positive review.  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!

Surviving a DUI case in Chula Vista without having to fight it alone and a much more favorable outcome.

Attorney Mark Deniz and staff were the right team for my DUI case. They handled the entire process on my behalf. The staff was very polite and compassionate towards my unfortunate situation. I thought I was going to have to do a lot of the leg work with the justice system and the DMV department, bu...t I did not because they represented me all the way through the process and contacted me when necessary and gave me guidance and information as needed to help me steer the course of the judicial process. Trust me this is an invaluable service! I was facing a 1st time DUI incident with a high BAC level according to the DA. I was afraid of receiving an unjust heavy handed punishment considering I was not even driving or on public roads when the incident occurred. In hindsight, I do feel I could have handled my situation in a much more intelligent and responsible manner but never thought I did get into all this trouble by being observed by some off-duty officers who were just looking out for the public's interest. But because I wasn’t actually driving I felt this made my case one worthy of challenging but needed an experienced attorney who knows how to navigate through the course of the necessary legal steps. I was absolutely clueless as to where to start and what to expect. I hadn’t had any moving infraction in 27 years. Mr. Deniz was able to get me a reduced sentence consisting of a 3 month DUI course on a restricted license, a short run on a daily breathalyzer, and a county fine. No other requirements were imposed on me. I thank God I found my Attorney Mark Deniz. I highly recommend him to anyone facing a DUI conviction. I have learned my lesson from this experience and I have vowed to never drink again, even casually or at any special occasion. Alcohol is something that I am more than happy to live without. I now look forward to getting my life back on track, setting new priorities, and living a healthy, long and happy life with my family. Thank you !

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).

Criminal Case: Domestic Violence

2 October 2017, I looked in Yelp, Google, and Avvo website for the best Criminal Lawyer in San Diego. I found so many Lawyers; I read all of their reviews and background. I didn’t know who to go with and who will fight for my innocence, until I picked Mark Deniz because he has the best reviews and my... gut was telling me something about him. When I called Mark Deniz, he listened to my situation and he explained everything with detail. He is a professional, great listener, knowledgeable, and personable. I choose Mark Deniz because of his experience, knowledge, and he knows the procedures of the courts in San Diego because he was a prosecutor. Reading his background than I knew I needed to hired him, and I knew he will fight for me. I was being charged with a felony because of a Domestic Violence for an argument I had with my wife. The Police Officer charged me with a felony because I was seen as the aggressor. The Police Officer said, “In every call we receive for domestic violence, we always take someone”. Well that someone is me, and not the woman. Imaging how I felt when I was taking into custody, and viewed as an aggressor by the Police Officer after he saw my spouse hit me. My bail was higher than my spouse, I felt like my world ended because no one will believe a female hit a male. Police Officer didn’t believe me and took into custody. I didn’t know what to do because being charged a felony for a DV is not good for my career and future. Talking to Mark Deniz, he explained my situation and that he will fight for me to the end. It gave me comfort, but I was worried of the outcome even though Mark kept saying he will fight for me to the end. As time was getting close to court date in the middle of October 2017 my mind was going everywhere. Mark went to court in my behalf. I was home counting minutes and hours wondering the results. I thought by going to court I can explain my side, but Mark said he was going to take care of it, and he did. Mark called me to tell me I was not charged with anything, and he took care of everything. I had a big relief, and I was speechless, and didn’t know how to thank Mark. Thank GOD there are people like Mark Deniz who will clear things out and fight for innocence of people. Police Officers make their own judgment of what happened without being present. Mark Deniz and his assistant are professional, helpful, and ready to answer any questions. I am very happy for the job that Mark Deniz did, and he is very proactive. I highly recommend Mark Deniz to fight for you. He is a professional, experienced, knows the procedures of the courts, proactive, and detail with his clients. Very Respectfully, Raul

Highly Recommend

Mark was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and treated me like a person. I had been to two other lawyers who charged me a great deal of money, took a very long time and did not deliver favorable results. All that finally changed when I called Mark. He accomplished in two months what had taken a...nother firm seven months in a failed attempt.

The key really is to be proactive.  As a former prosecutor, I can tell you many people are reactive.  That does not work.  Thank you again.

Exceptional lawyer

Mark Deniz was amazing and helped me navigate through my case step by step from beginning until the end ensuring I received the minimum charge. When a lawyer answers their phone at 7:00 am on the weekend, you know he is going to be readily available to you throughout your case and he was exactly that...!

Thank you for the kind words.  Communication is key for us.  I know people have a cloud over their head when they are going through the case.  I work hard to keep the trust people give me.
