Competent lawyer!!

Deniz is very professional and guided me through this difficult time. I will most definitely be referring him to other people in need of his service. I greatly appreciate all of his hard work.

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.

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.

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

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.

Delivers on what he says

I was in a bad spot for a poor decision I made. Mark and his staff were able to get half of my charges dropped and save me from what most likely was going to be a severe judgement. He's a busy guy but he delivers on his word. Couldn't be more pleased with my outcome! I highly recommend!
