Hands down the BEST!!!

Mark represented me for my first and second DUI. In February of 2015 I was involved in a minor accident with a traffic sign and was arrest for DUI. Mark was able to set up the DMV hearing which they said I wasn't driving impaired and I was able to keep my license. Mark handled all the court proceedin...gs and I never had to show face. The outcome was wonderful in that I got a wet reckless instead of a full blown DUI. I received only a small fine and a 6 week DUI program with 3 years court probation. No extended DUI program, no community service. In March of 2017 I was involved in yet another accident but this time with another vehicle. The vehicles were eventually claimed to be totaled and the victim claimed minor injury. Said his shoulder hurt. The arresting officer recommended a felony DUI for this case. So, I have a second arrest while on probation, in an accident driving under the influence, with "injuries" not major. I was in a bad way. I called Mark and was panicking because I was looking at up to 7 years in prison for this mistake. Mark took on my case and was a big help, again. I did all the extra things he requested me to do to show the courts that I'm not a screw up alcoholic. We went to court a few times and finally received a decent offer/ plea that Mark was able to get set up. I received no jail time and 4 months house arrest instead. Plus, a minimal fine. I did receive the felony, but after I complete the 18 month multiple conviction program without getting in any trouble, I will get the charges reduced to a misdemeanor. YAY!!! It all worked out in the end because of Mark and his teams hard work. He is very honest, thorough, professional, great with communicating and answering questions. He knows his way around a courtroom and how to handle the DA and Prosecution. He is very affordable and is willing to work with you financially. I highly recommend him with any and all DUI cases. Thank you very, very much Mark. You are amazing.

Great lawyer!

Mark is a great attorney and I would definitely recommend him and his team if you find yourself in a tough situation. I had a bad run-in with the law and an awful dui. Mark was extremely helpful and responded immediately. He and Alyssa were extremely punctual on keeping me updated and explaining m...y options. Mark really does do his best to secure the best possible outcome considering the situation. I was extremely stressed about the whole thing and he was very helpful in diffusing the situation and explaining what could be done and what the possible outcomes were. Given how bad my case was I have to say I am extremely happy about the results and am able to move on with my life. If you find yourself in a situation like this look no further, Mark is your guy!

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.

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).

My DUI case

Mark Deniz and his office were fantastic! Even before I hired him, he patiently and diligently responded to all of my questions and showed great interest in my case. From all the lawyers I spoke with, Mark was the most knowledgeable. He was very easy to reach at all times including weekends. I immedi...ately got the sense that I could trust him and that he would work in my best interests. I was accused of a felony case which he reduced to a simple DUI with an allegation. He was able to deal with my warrant order and many other obstacles throughout the process. He helped me navigate through a complex process I had never dealt with before. He and his office staff were professional and efficient. I enthusiastically recommend the offices of Mark Deniz.
