Got it done!

This situation was completely out of my wheelhouse and I had no idea where to begin or which way to go. I researched a ton of attorneys, had a few consultations and was won over with Mark's personal and aggressive approach. I really felt like he was going to take the time to know me, my case and prov...ide the right defense. I was right. He helped get all the right data and present it to reduce my penalties significantly. If I had the desire/time/money to fight it farther, he would have definitely been the guy to do that. It's clear he has experience and knows what he's doing. I was grateful that he was responsive, kind, respectful, patient, understanding and thorough. I'd recommend him to friends/family.

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). 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.

A Lawyer Who Truly Cares

Mark truly cares about his clients. I unfortunately found myself in the situation where I had gotten a DUI. I frantically searched for DUI lawyers in San Diego and I called one lawyer before Mark, but I didn't feel good about it. Then, I found Mark's Avvo page. I went to his website where I filled ou...t the contact form and Mark personally called me back within 30 minutes. I couldn't believe it! I have never had to hire a lawyer before so I didn't know what I was in for, but Mark completely exceeded my expectations. The circumstances surrounding my DUI were difficult and Mark spent a countless amount of time advocating for me and my outcome. I am still about 3 weeks out from my court sentencing, but I just had my DMV sentencing and it was SO much better than I would have expected. I thought I was looking at a year with a suspended license, but Mark was able to get 4 months suspended or 6 months restricted (where I can drive to and from work)- my choice! If you are reading this and have found yourself in the same situation with a DUI, don't think twice. Hire Mark Deniz. The reviews speak volumes for themselves. Thank you again, Mark.

Thank you for the kind words. You are a perfect example of someone that every person in the firm gets into this business in the first place....which is to help people.

The Best Lawyer!

I recently had a family member who got a DUI with a hit and run ( hit a parked car allegedly) and Mark went above and beyond to fight the charges. Was able to get the hit and run charge dropped so he was only left with A 3 month AA meetings and a breathalyzer in car. No suspended license or community... service. We are all so incredibly impressed and beyond grateful for the outcome and with Mark and his team’s work. I would recommend him to everyone! His cost of services are so affordable too and he is willing to work with you for payment plans. Can’t thank Mark and his team enough for his hard work and dedication. Thank you!

I was glad to have been a help. It is easy advocating for a nice person. The future is nothing but up for you.

Doesn't sugarcoat, but cares, and delivers results!

Mark Deniz was available quite quickly for a consultation and, while he was rather direct with me about the fact that the circumstances of my case were not great, he gave me great advice for how to be proactive right away and I knew he would be a great advocate for me. He was working on my case withi...n 30 minutes of receiving the signed retainer form, and I took that as an excellent sign. There is sparse communication as he works on your case, but he was great about checking in to let me know the latest, so I felt secure. He took pains to learn a lot about me, my circumstances, and what led to this unfortunate experience in my life, and was very sincere with me in our meetings and communication. He fought quite hard for me and delivered amazing results - negotiating down fines and working toward leniency from the court. He negotiated what I consider to be a truly best case scenario for me, and I know I could not have done it on my own. Mark is a great guy to have in your corner, he cares, and he listens and understands - pretty rare for anyone, I think, let alone a lawyer! While I plan to never work with him again of course, I'm so pleased I did in this instance.

Excellent outcome to a rough situation

Getting a DUI is a very rough situation for anybody. I got mine in San Diego while on vacation. Beginning my search for a lawyer from out of state was a daunting task as I could not be there to meet with anybody in person. As soon as I called Mark I knew he was the one I wanted to represent me. He an...swered all of my questions and made the whole process easier for me. He was able to negotiate a very fair deal for me at my second court date. I never had to return to California once for either court, or to carry out the terms of my probation. I am very thankful for Mark's representation and would recommend him to anyone.

Thank you for your kind words. We know it takes a lot for someone to trust us with their family. We do all we can to keep that trust.
