He’s the best!

I was stuck in a tricky situation ... I got 2 DUI’s 3 weeks apart. I thought for sure my life was ruined and I needed a lawyer to defend me. I searched around and got in contact with many firms. Then I came across Mark Deniz and his team. They beat out all their competitors in price which was already... a plus, then they went and handled everything for me without me ever having to step foot in an actual court room. They were able to get the charges way down and keep me out of jail! I couldn’t have asked for a better result. I highly recommend Mark Deniz and his team of highly professional, and incredibly kind lawyers. They definitely are out there to help the regular folks like you or me. They firmly believe that one mistake, or two in my case, does not define you. I now believe that too.

Mark Deniz is the best lawyer in San Diego!

Nothing but good things to say about Mark Deniz and his team! I got in an unfortunate situation where I made bad judgment and I could have potentially ruined my future. Thankfully, I found Mark. He was very reassuring and honest about my case, which gave me confidence. Additionally, with him having e...xperience as a prosecutor, he knows exactly what needs to be done in order to get the best outcome for the defense. He kept in constant communication throughout my case and fortunately, the prosecution didn't even file a charge! I will be recommending Mark to my friends and family. Thanks again Mark!

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.

you are more than just a number for him

approximately eight months ago I was involved in a car crash (alcohol was involved), I was very nervous because I was not fined, fingerprinted or formally arrested, but I was given a release from custody noticed and the pink paper because they had taken my license away, which meant I was going to fac...e charges for DUI. luckily I didn't hurt anyone. I searched on the web for a good defender and even contacted several over the phone, but I didn't get that sense of security from them. Then, I searched a bit more and saw that Mark Deniz's profile was the top rated DUI defender in the area. I went ahead and gave him a call and from speaking to him for five minutes I felt that I was in good hands and from that moment and forward I wasn't alone. He ensured my driving privileges weren't taken away by scheduling a hearing with DMV. During this whole process I was very nervous, but he always took out of his time to answer all my questions, regardless of how silly they were. He understands you, you know. He asked questions to understand me better and he noticed that I was a service member and asked for all my medical files and asked me about my treatment and what I was going through. He also prepared me for the future by setting me up with the first conviction program classes and the MADD panel and at the same time submitted a request for me to join the military diversion program. After eight long months for the grace of God I was admitted into the diversion program and I am going to continue my treatment under the supervision of the Veteran's Affairs department. This means that I must complete my treatment for alcohol and some other mental problems I have been facing for several years and my case will be dismissed. I will take full advantage of this second chance and be widely successful. I owe it to myself and those that love me. I will forever be grateful to Mark and his team.

You are a benefit to the community.  You were easy to come in an advocate for.  When I was a prosecutor I knew good people were coming into the process seeking fairness. The punishment did not always fit the act. It takes hard work, communication with the prosecution/judge, as well as having sound legal arguments. I am glad to have the pleasure of advocating on your behalf.

Felony DV Cases were not issued - Mark Saved my life

It was one of those unfortunate circumstances that we all have faced or will face at some time, and I was in a panic to look for a lawyer that I was confident in. I know how it feels to have that heavy burden on your mind and the fact that I was not only facing one, BUT two felony DV cases had me in ...such a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions and Mark was there to help me through every step of the way. From the initial phone call all the way to the actual arraignment itself, Mark was there every step of the way. We had several lawyers that we had considered and prayed and picked Mark to help us with my case. He not only calmed me down, but truly listened and felt genuine from the start. He set aside time out of his busy schedule to meet with us as soon as he could to get ahead of the prosecution. This man saved my life and took a huge burden off my shoulders. He truly fought for me to not even get the case heard in court and was very communicative and thorough. His methods are unconventional and his extensive experience from the prosecution's side of the law helps him in this regard. If are faced with almost impossible circumstances and feel like you have no way out, Mark is your guy. Every penny is worth your freedom and he is the best lawyer that money can buy, he also charges a reasonable amount. Best thing about the whole situation is that he TRULY cares about his client's well being and will fight for you to get the best possible outcome. I hope I never need a criminal defense lawyer again, but if I do, Mark will be the first phone call I make. Not only did he help get my two felonies turn into non-issues, he also was concerned about me after the case and wanted to make sure I made the necessary steps to never go down that path again. If you are having a hard time finding a lawyer, trust me, I know how that feels....rest assured Mark will give you the best possible outcome.

It was my pleasure to represent you and fight for you. I left the prosecution side to help good people get themselves out of difficult and scary situations. Thank you for the positive review and for allowing me to advocate on your behalf.

Don't even think about calling anyone else!

Mark was awesome. Being from out of state (living a couple time zones away) I thought going through a DUI was going to be awful. I read reviews on many other attorneys and after reading Mark's I gave him a call. I knew after a few minutes I knew he was the right attorney. His calming and reassuri...ng demeanor was exactly what I needed then. Throughout the case I felt like he was really fighting for me and advocating for my best interests since he was in constant contact with me (nights and weekends even). He always made time for me and answer any questions I had. When the case was resolved those feelings were confirmed and my case had a better outcome than I could have ever thought. Like a previous reviewer said, I don't have to worry about my career being ruined by one bad decision. Don't look anywhere else if you need an attorney. You won't regret it.
